DEVs - Please do something about the cursor

I know I am not alone in thinking the cursed cursor can sometimes become invisible during a hectic PvP match. At times it takes me a few seconds of shaking my mouse about before I see it and by then ... it may be too late.

Is there anything that can be done to make the cursor more visible? A change in size, design, colour etc? Give the mouse a vigorous shake and the cursor flashes or does a short animation to make it more visible? Just a few suggestions ...

This would be a little touch that would come in very handy, and certainly make a difference to me.

    Thanks - I will check it out.

    Still, I think it would be beneficial to have some control over our cursors and that this be made part of an official update.

    I agree as well. I overcame this by learning to use my
    Mouse for movement only. All my powers are activated via 1-10 and f1-f10 keys. I use a program called voice attack to activate certain combos like healing, or using hypos, ect.

    All I use my mouse for aside from movement is to warp in and out of places really.

    If you are still using your mouse to click on things you are wrong. It is ineffective and inefficient. Tab for targeting also sucks but it may be your only choice with the screen is exploding.

    As the Borg would say, irrelevant ;)

    My playing style is not in question. What matters is the fact that, regardless of how frequently one may use their mouse, the cursor is very hard to find when you do need it.

    As such, I have used the option provided and that should make things easier for now.

    Still, as suggested, I think an animated cursor would work nicely.

    If you aren't using your mouse in addition to a G13 you are wrong. It is ineffective and inefficient. Tab for targeting also sucks but it may be your only choice with the screen is exploding.

    LOL ... OK, perhaps one day I will have the time and patience to a) buy a G13, b) install it, c) set it up, and d) start using it. Other than that, it's a good idea ;)

    Ahh yes. Let me join once again in the crusade for an optional cursor that does not bug the old one to smithereens in the process, as the existing one is hard to locate on the widescreen monitor, due to low visibility and comparably miniscule size in the 1920 x 1080 environment. Thanks for reading and understanding in advance. :p
