Hey everyone

We launched the new tooltips a few days ago and weGÇÖve gotten a lot of feedback. Getting quick access to useful information is pretty awesome and IGÇÖd love to extend this type of functionality to other modules down the road.

There are a few issues we need to deal with though, primarily relating to the speed at which it pops up and the positioning of the box. WeGÇÖre going to add two things today: First of all, weGÇÖre going to add a one second delay when hovering over modules, so the pop-up is less intrusive. Secondly, weGÇÖre going to move the tooltip away from the module you hover over. These two changes should make the feature more useful and hopefully less intrusive for the players that are not interested in constantly seeing the tooltip.

Other changes weGÇÖre looking at:

Global tooltip delay setting: This would be an option to set a global delay to ALL tooltips, somewhere in the 0-3 second range. It would be located in the escape menu and is in my opinion the ideal solution. The downside is that it will affect a lot of different tooltips and making sure it works correctly across the game takes a bit of time.

Disabling tooltips completely. This would basically be a button that lets you disable all tooltips in the game by selecting it. That means no more stuff popping up anywhere, giving you a cleaner UI if you feel the tips aren't helpful anymore.

Re-vamping the size and content of the window. IGÇÖm wondering if we shouldnGÇÖt condense the gun and ammo part of the tooltip into a better format, so the tooltip still contains the same information, but takes up less space.

Disabling the module tooltip only. Adding an option to disable a single type of window isn't the best solution. We already have a myriad of options regarding the HUD and adding another one isn't really ideal. This is really using a chainsaw on the problem and while it definitely remains an option, it's certainly the least attractive one. If the more graceful solutions aren't enough though, we can revert to this.

Anyway, the delay and position change is being implemented today. Feedback is appreciated while we consider the longer term options.
