[art] The final new default cursor?

The old one or the previous one was better, because the new one is not turned like the old ones. He just needs a little rotation, that's all.

It is not bad per se that the cursor is less turned than the actions, IMHO. :)

I quite like the vertical edge of this cursor. Looks clean and sharp, hence why I accepted.

One could also ask the question if the other in-game cursors shouldn't be rotated to match this angle? After playing with it a bit, I don't mind the different rotation anymore.

@wowgetoffyourcellphone don't do the others with this angle, this one is bad enough. It obscures too much of the icon below. All the old ones were better.

Not sure I understand. Do you really think there will be issues with the recognizability of underlying icons?

To me it seems like a negligible difference between this version and one that is more turned.

(And off-topic, but I do like that it now has the same direction as the default cursor in win/macos/ubuntu ect)

turned looks better

:shrug:

For some reason I feel less impressive and less real than the previous one.

It lacks volume, that is, it feels flat without depth.
The mouse should give a feeling of being a 3D object.

Thus it contrasts with the interface and the icons.

The old cursor wins, the new one annoys me. wrong angle, wrong style, bad contrast

#1 - Grey triangle? mediocre.
#2 - Sword, terrible to actually use as a cursor.
#3 - An arrowhead, very cool, appropriate for the game, something not quite right about it though
#4 - Arrowhead at 45 degree angle? 45 degree is for the right hand side, not the left, look at other cursors for reference.

#3 is correct, there's just something not quite right about it though. It VERY doesn't look correct at 4k though, so it's hard for me to see exactly what's weird about it.


What I see in current GIT is a bit yellower, and VERY jagged. If it scaled better it would be fine, just with some minor tweaks.

The problem with the cursor in 4K seems to be a rendering issue rather than a texture issue. Perhaps someone else can verify?
