I just reactivated and trying to make my talent builds…
But i cant get the tool-tip popup working, so now i dont know what my talents really do.
What i mean is:
When you hover your mouse over a talent a pop up appears telling general inforamtion about the talent.
To know what exact NUMBERS and EFFECTS the talent does i used to press SHIFT+Mouse Click and now i could click the little blue text line, witch tells me the usefull information of the talent (Exact numbers, durations etc).
For some reason i cant activate this tool-tip popup with pressing shift+click. Anyone can help me ? Please i would really like to get back playing and allready subbed but im so frustrated that i cant see what my talents will EXATLY do.
Go to settings -> menu options -> HUD -> activate “Hover Info”. This should make the spell / combo tooltips pop up again when you move your cursor above them.
If that is active you should be able to open up the mini window by pressing shift + left click.
Also, if that still does not work you can right click on an icon and then click on “show info” in the dropdown menu. This opens up the same window as shift + left click normally does.
In the Settings (F10) go to Interface Options .
There are 2 (!) tabs (First is tab Basic the other is HUD) where you will find a header called “Hotbar Functionality” . Make sure that on both tabs the option Show Hoverinfo is activated
How disapointing, this “Show info” method works only on abilities (in hotbar or skillbook) But does not work on skill tree , newer the less it helps me out with the website and can start making my builds.
I bought this game as preorder and played for years from launch. My biggest gripe when quitting was the fact that Funcom devs stated the abilities and their effects un clearly.
Example:
Talent (made this up) “Healing Strike”
Description:
“Healing strike gives a MODERATE heal”
How it works in game:
Heals you and everyone in a cone in front of you for xx points, heals 50% more if target is under 50% health.
So these vague non informational tooltips without EXACT numbers and functions and minding the costly ever rising respec fee made it testing builds and tactics really frustrating, and resulted me quitting the game. Even made mayny (5) salty forum posts on old forums over the months before quitting.
Im sad to notice Funcom still has problems getting players know what talents/skill exactly does without 3rd party website. Skills/talents are after all the mechanic that makes youre character behave like they do, its the core mechanic.
