Object highlighting to see what it loot-able and interactable

[faint sonnet]

Should be a toggle-able accessibility option, yeah

[charred wadi]

that's not really needed. as you play the game more, all containers are the same regardless of map.

Yeah this feel like a dumbing down move, highlighting everything means that your going to see everything, including the secret spots which are by definition meant to be secret, besides that its nice to come across a sack or box someones missed because they're not paying attention. lets not turn this into a game that plays itself

It's not highlighting everything, it's highlighting things as you mouse over them. Basically the "loot" text prompt but more visible because, for reasons stated by OP, the text prompt can be hard to see at times for different reasons.

You literally get a sentence appear on your screen, If your missing that then perhaps a game about finding loot isn't for you :/

To be honest I don't think glowing items fit very well into the game, so I will stay against this idea, I remember when pubg added it and it looked crap. items dont glow

More to the point Im playing on a widescreen 2k monitor and the text is blatantly noticeable and it quite literally takes one play session with someone or one simple google search if you really want to spoil the fun of finding it out for yourself

I'll go one step further and include the example of me finding out about the floor vaults, I didn't know they existed and neither did the beta tester that was showing me the game, and we were both pleasantly surprised when we finally noticed it hiding in a room we had been into several times, if they implement glowing boxes that wouldn't of have been a surprise, and the subtle placement would be thrown out the window because it would have been glowing and glaringly obvious. it would also mean there's significantly less chance of other people missing the 'secret' stash

It's not isolating anybody, its a learning curve. stop expecting a new players to jump into the game and be fully informed about every aspect of it, the whole point is to learn the game, to find out for yourself and feel rewarded. Your asking for loot to be more obviously highlighted, and to me that just says 'hold my hand' so i dont miss something that more experienced players notice through time spent playing

Id love to meet the people that feel so isolated because they havnt found out they can loot a box they actually feel driven away from the game

You are vastly misrepresenting the idea because the idea as presented is literally the exact same as the text prompt you get by hovering over a lootable container. You're presenting it as if lootable items simply glow for no reason because you're near them. tbh I'm pretty take it or leave it on this as an idea but you're just kind of being a dick about it.

You're entitled to your opinion, im just getting my point across

Sorry but if you've played 50 hours and you're trying to tell me you "still dont know what I can loot" then thats just silly

[faint sonnet]

Honestly if you're that against this idea then you should be against the text prompts too because you don't get a magic floating message in front of your face when you look at a box. tbh I can see some use cases where this is useful even beyond accessibility, like when several containers and maybe even a body are stacked on top of each other and you keep opening one trying to open another because there's no crosshair. And that's not even mentioning that it doesn't have to be a glowing outline specifically. It could be something like a filter of hash lines over the specific object or making said object slightly brighter/darker as you hover over it.

There is a lot more nuance beyond "a glow is stupid just learn the fucking boxes 5head" that could be discussed about this idea rather than misrepresenting the idea in an obnoxious and pedantic way

"a glow is stupid just learn the fucking boxes 5head"

Not gonna even bother conversing with you if your going to resort to childish remarks

And using quotation marks around them as if I actually said that

If your intent wasn't to sound so condescending and dismissive then maybe you should have thought more about how you presented your arguments because the majority of what I've seen in this thread has come across as exactly that. Every argument you've put forth has been based on a misrepresentation of the idea and has been dismissive almost to the point of hostile.
