The New Death Message is Super Irritating. Please Change Back

The new message in the center of the screen in distracting yellow is super annoying in the middle of a quest

Please return to the message as it was in previous seasons

I am ok with it, I thought it would be distracting but I quickly grew accustomed to it and tuned it out. At least it isn't pulling mouse focus to it, or blocking actions, that would be (hilariously) disastrous.

We do have a new audience seeing these, so cool on letting us know what you think. As people can see with their accidental removal, they proved quite popular in the first two seasons, and we do have the ability to adjust what level death and above the messages display for. Overall, they seem to add to the experience in that they provide a bit of an event atmosphere, along with some reassurance that people are in fact dying fairly regularly on the server.

UPDATE: I am now up to speed on this. We'll look into it.

I think a UI checkbox would be the best way to go. Want to see the messages immediately when anyone dies? There's a checkbox for that... or should be. Want to read about deaths only in your chat box between adventures or combats? Uncheck the box should be an option.

Quite a lot of Players around Character Levels 5-7 seem to be dying to "Misadventure"... I presume that's mostly causalities to 'Traps' or other stupid deaths. Death from '(Bound) Fire Elemental' and 'Wolf' messages appear fairly frequently for deaths to players below Level 10.

I'm not seeing all the deaths plastered across the screen so it's not too distracting. Deaths under Character Level 5; should probably just be restricted to the global Chat Channel [Hardcore Channel] 'red text' broadcast only. Or else, I agree it probably would become far too repetitive with them in your face.

My solo (not within a guild) default path Assassin hasn't died yet, she's nearing enough XP to take Level 5 - just equipped with equipment she's found within quests. I level far too slowly with my main Characters on home Server. Thus I'd never reach Level 20 in time for "closing" anyway (you need to more than double the duration) LOL. I'm only loosely aiming for 500 Favour. Depending on my snail paced levelling speed I might consider: 1,750. Albeit if she dies I won't bother with a second Character as the cosmetic doesn't interest me anyway. :-)

I don't get why people are complaining lol this isn't a new thing. I do prefer the old style of red at the top of the screen. This yellow middle of the screen stuff I mostly just tune out like it were DM text.

Not sure why some are mid and some are top of the screen though, I just hopped on.
