[I17] Drastically reduced enhancements font

I don't know how we're supposed to "get used to" not being able to see the numbers on screen.
If a large % of players can't see the enhancement numbers, or have to lean in really close to their screen and squint, that's a game error, whether the developers want to call it that or not.
Please try my arcs:
Arc# 63910 "Why Do Bad Girls Like Bad Boys?" (length=Long, levels 40+)
Arc# 401500 "How to Be a Successful Professional Criminal" (length=Very Long, levels 1-10)

Too bad they can't have the numbers use the same chat font size option. That would be novel 
I'm struggling to read the numbers too, and I don't wear corrective lenses. I /bug'd this in game.

Wow, I didn't expect such concurring responses. I thought it was just me.
I have a 22" widescreen monitor, running at 1440x900 resolution, and I'm 26 years old... yet I honestly cannot make out the numbers, only the color of them (and even that's a struggle).
This really needs to be fixed, or we should have an option for the font size like we do with the chat box.

I did bug this in Beta, and am rather put out that it ever made it to live. Respecing isn't remotely feasible.

I can deal with it but my wife can't read hers at all and she's very upset. Everyone I know has asked me about it tonight. It really needs to be changed as soon as possible. |
I am upset tooo

I wonder what kind of monitors the Devs have that they deem this problem as being too insignificant to rate fixing?

I counted them. They are 4 PIXELS TALL.
A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!

Mine are 6 pixels tall, not including the 2 more pixels for the black border. lol

It's 6 if you count the black border around them, but it is basically a square. How do you use the attachments feature here? I could upload it.

I've /bugged this too. I'm running 1440x900 on a 19" widescreen monitor and they are unreadable from more than 3 inches away |

Anyway, here is an enlarged picture of what I see.. the number is 8 pixels if you include the black border.
Not that it matters how many exactly.. It's still very small. lol

That looks like it's from the enhancement tray... it's even smaller on the management screen and the enhancement number is on the bottom.

I think you meant that SOs have the numbers at the bottom, but those are still the same size anyway.

Hmm, my mistake, you are correct and I was misremembering. Interesting that on your post I saw an "image moved or deleted" but when I quoted it I got the image.

Sorry about that. I posted as it was uploading and the upload apparently failed for some reason. By the time you reloaded the page, I had done it again.

Well technically, we'd both see them the same "size", but it's the resolution giving mine better quality. The reason it looks different on the forum is because the higher resolution image scales larger on your screen if you are using a lower rez.|

That said, I definitely feel for you. Those numbers are certainly not readable. I can only guess that's a mix of 48s and 49s, but it's hard to tell which are which. lol
Quote:
Yeah, that's about the same as mine.

It's just another one of those changes I'd get used to over time. When I first switched to a widescreen a few years ago, it was annoying seeing the enhancements squished and stretched into an oval shape... but now I got SO used to it that now the new screen looks like eggs to me, even though they are actually circles again. lol
