to make Rift more user friendly of a game

Hi, i need to ask a few modifications to Rift.


1st.
Please make an addon that makes it possible to disable the world messages, such as INVADERS DEFEATED, QUEST ACCEPTED / COMPLETE, RIFT CLOSED, STAGE COMPLETE and stuff like that. Including even the countdown timer at warfronts. That including the fancy twirling flashing animation as well.

Because at an event, the messages distract the player, and since they are popping up with a flash, they have been invented to be like little stalky-sneaky commercials, to burn into any persons mind. Would you like that..?


2nd.
Need an addon to disable mouse tooltipping. Because when in combat, YOU CONSTANTLY NEED TO TURN TO FACE YOUR ENEMIES, and since it is being done with the mouse secondary click held down... whenever the mouse cursor is being positioned over some object of the UI, the secondary mouseclick automatically switches to interact with that UI-object, and the camera rotation ceases to exist.
You cant turn the camera if in battle confusion you accidentally place your cursor on either the action bar, or on the minimap. And this IS proven to be fatal.

And disabling the whole UI is not a solution, because there are certain things which the player (me) needs to see during combat.

Options to disable parts of the UI -CAN- be a solution.
Dedicating a switching key to force the mouse secondary click to -and only to- camera rotation -IS- a solution. ON/OFF style.


3rd.
Let the left -AND SEPARATELY- the right ALT, CTRL, SHIFT buttons be programmable, as individual keys. Also ON/OFF style. 6 new keys. Whether the player wants to use them windows style (as now), or as individual keys.

Also, let the mouse primary -and- secondary buttons be reprogrammable to any skill / actionbar slot, the player would like them to. I personally, would like to reprogram the PRIMARY click only.
And also, make the mousewheel available for remapping. So there will born an option to switch the zoom in / zoom out option that is originally mapped to the mousewheel. Or to switch between action bars, with the mousewheel, and since in Rift, the keyboard keys arent bound to skills, but action bar locations (clever!) if you can easily switch the action bar, you dont have to tap-tap 1-2-3.. OR alt + 1-2-3.. OR shift + 1-2-3.. or CTRL... because you just use any keys, WHICH FIT YOUR FINGERS and with an easy click, a new set of 12 skills is reachable. You dont have to be a pianist keyboard manipulator. Or WOULDNT. If such options existed.


4th.
Minecraft has great graphics! Because it is simple enough. What good is fancy dx10, or dx11 graphics, if the player is playing with an office VGA? That is usually dx7, and not even too fast in that. BUT CHEAP AND QUIET!
The point is; in a computer game, graphics should be available to be simplified to the point, where even an older system can handle graphics at a minimum of a constant 30 frames/sec.

That requires real time monitoring of the graphics requirements / resources available.

No matter if the 3D characters are built by cubic blocks. People will explore the HQ graphics at first, but at a prolonged period, i think, only the suckers will play any game, that sucks at FPS. Because that is not gaming, that is sucking the d.ck.

Do YOU have the money to always replace the core of your system..? They always say: this is new, this is the fastest, buy this! You buy it, you have at most 2 years glory with it. Me, i love my system. It is quiet! And hell no i will not replace any parts every half of a year!

What VGA would one need to play the massive invasions / pvp battles in Rift at a constant 30+ framerate? A GTX590? What is the power supply requirement for that...? 700Watts minimum...? How many is yours at home? 1200W? Oh, come on.. 1200 Watts is a smaller electric heat-radiator. Give me a break!

So, would need an addon that dumbs down graphics (decreasing mesh/poly count, decreasing water detail, etc.) REAL TIME, to an extent that any system, AT ANY POINT in the game, would produce a constant FPS. Preset to 30, or 40, or 60. Or whatever the player likes to.

And as i said before: that would require real time monitoring of the graphics requirements / resources available. Reaching the goal: constant X fps, at any time!


5th.
Oh, as of graphics. There is a brief white flash at warfronts, when you, the player die(s), and the system is rebuilding the 3D graphics right after respawning.
Please make an addon that disables that white screen, USE A BLACK one! Because hell, i dont like myself dumbed down by these white flashes. As of you.. do you even care about yourself?



Well, thats it for now. Thanks, for reading.
