from http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Game_updates:
"To more clearly distinguish items that are outside of combat range, the names of characters and items more than 1,000 feet away now appear in a dimmer color."

1) if these things are 1000 ft away then distance is much weirder than i thought... pls check to make sure that the distance it's activating at is actually the listed distance;
2) i would have thought that if you guys were going to make UI changes, that you would have learned by now to make it a toggle-able option in the General Options area so people can turn it on or off.

Thanks,

It's just another useless UI change. I don't like it but it's probably here to stay.

in the Isle of Meditation, the Crafting Material Trader is dark green (meaning far away) from the Xunlai Chest. No way that's 1000ft. Maybe they meant 100 ft? Or maybe 10. ;P

Either way, I'm not a fan of it.

I guess i'm the only one that likes it?? I think it's a neat little change from the normal GUI.

I really don't like it but I guess it's because there's a really dark box around it too and it really annoys me to see it. Meh..

Useless? What happened to application, people? This is a great change to distinguish targets and their distance from each other when holding ctrl.

All it does is dim things outside of aggro range.

This *might* be useful if we can caliberate dimness at different ranges manually

The range is way off, but I do actualy like it for once.

However, a toggle option needs to be put in

uhm, in town this is NOT helpful....trying to find the dang storage or merchant and now I can barely even see the names let alone read them and I sit not 1 foot from my computer screen!

Not so dim. I say make the closer names brighter than before and the far names less dramatically darker so that they are easily readable.

I think its a good idea just poorly executed.

I love the New Effect ,the old one was so annoying trying to pick out one person in a crowd helps with Screen caps also.
The combat feels alot more realistic were the old effect you could see miles of in the distant loke you had perment Zoom Vision.

This must be one of those things where 10 feet in Maya / 3DSMax / Poser / whatever they use is what looks like 1 inch in the game.

Yeah, I don't mind the new change, but I agree with others that it seems to trigger way closer than claimed.
