As it states in the image below, clicking this option disables the accidental click on the action box of players, but still allows specific icon clicking.

The problem being, from my perspective at least, is that the specific CHAT icon (which IS still clickable) is aligned in the same vertical plane as the kill button for the titan and, thus, DOES allow mis-clicking.

 

Whilst I understand that some players do want to communicate with other players whilst titan hunting, I suspect others would love the option to make the WHOLE player box unclickable.

 

So, in essence, make another preferences option that :-

 

"Hide players whilst titan is active"

or

"Make ENTIRE player action box not clickable" <- my preferred solution

Homer : Marge, don't discourage the boy. Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals .. except the weasel.

 

Eddie Izzard : The National Rifle Association say that guns don't kill people, people do. But I think the gun helps, you know ? I think it helps. I think just standing there going "BANG" - that's not going to kill too many people, is it ?

 

I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but it seems that everything I eat lately turns to poo ...

i would love to see the 2nd option done / nothing worse than trying to click kill icon on titan and going to either send a message or to players profile - wastes very valuable seconds getting back to titan

When I titan hunt I would prefer to see only the titan.  I do not know how many times I've missed hits because the titan jumps as I click and I get a player.

I agree with Pardoux the whole player action box should be made not clickable, miss clicks are very annoying on top of the timer for reclicking on titan kills.

I don't know if it is this way for all titan hunters or not, but it is for  me:

 

Teleport to titan... hit titan... refresh titan.. hit titan... refresh titan... titan jumps... click player...  Oopps.

 

Wash, rinse, repeat..   lol

 

I still like titan hunting though. :)

Would it be better to make this a new option or just change the current preference to make the whole player action box not clickable?

Hi ya, Hoof. :)  

 

I think most of those posting would like hide player like hide normal realm beasts until the titan is finished. :)

As I understood Pardoux's post, he'd prefer making the box not clickable over hiding the players. There's little difference.

 

But, my read on that agreed (might not have been what he meant): I like to see who's on the square to know who I'm up against. The only issue is the misclick. 

 

For me, whatever is easier coding wise.

I have not had problems with this. I play from my phone. I have had problems clicking the portal in the cathedral and it's taken me to a players page. Don't know if it's a bug. But think you Cow's should know :)

I think that some players may still like the ability to communicate with others whilst they hunt so a 2nd option would cover that better, but I'm fine with either the original being changed or the 2nd option making the whole player box being unclickable - whichever you prefer.


Homer : Marge, don't discourage the boy. Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals .. except the weasel.

 

Eddie Izzard : The National Rifle Association say that guns don't kill people, people do. But I think the gun helps, you know ? I think it helps. I think just standing there going "BANG" - that's not going to kill too many people, is it ?

I had rather see it as an option as I have had no problems with it.

I would also much rather have the player actions not clickable..

 

Dont like the idea of being able to hide the players personally. I like to know who I am up against for the most part.
