User Interface
[list][*]The help interface has been simplified dramatically. Players will no longer be required to select a category when opening a GM ticket. In addition, players can use the “Talk to a GM” button to fill out a ticket that requires a GM response or the “Report Issue” button to fill out a ticket that does not require a GM response. [*]Target buff/debuff timers that appear when you cast a spell are now more visible. [*]Time Management features have been implemented! These features include an alarm clock, stopwatch, and viewing your computer’s local time. [*]The new stopwatch feature can be accessed via the /stopwatch, /sw, or /timer slash commands. Inputting a time into the slash command will make the stopwatch count down. For example, /stopwatch 1:0:0 will make the stopwatch count down from an hour, /stopwatch 1:30 will make it count down from 1 minute, 30 seconds, and /stopwatch 30 will make it count down from 30 seconds. [*]Added the following macro commands: /targetenemyplayer, /targetfriendplayer. [*]Added key bindings for tab targeting players. [*]Ctrl-Tab and other target nearest friend functions will no longer target you. [*]Targeting using /target will prefer live targets over dead ones. [*]You can no longer click the minimap to cast ground targeted spells. [*]Invisible players with Hunter’s Mark can see the hunter that put the mark on them.
