enhancement: add option to scale mouse cursor

[ListenToMe.5130]

sure, you can use yolomouse. but i don't like using other random software just to play my game.i wouldn't even care if we couldn't change the color. maybe a few different cursors, but most importantly, option to scale mouse cursor.thanks.

You could post it in the QoL suggestion thread. Has been proposed dozens of times, but so far has been ignored by the devs.

This is the first time I literally laughed out loud when reading. Not mocking you. But this is the same company that hasn't even given us the most BASIC UI OPTIONS in 7 years.

We can't even do something as simple as turn off toolbox tips that block 3 quarters of the screen with text when you play or re arrange our task bar.

Sad, but true. :/ Or deactivating other players' back pieces, or limiting visual effects, etc.

If you do not want to use any third party program and happen to run any version of Windows, there is a funny old option.

Control Panel => Mouse (non-category option) => Pointer OptionsEnable the option on the bottom & apply.

It is pretty self-explanatory, whenever you press CTRL, you get a pulse around your cursor - that works in GW2 as well. Helps a lot finding the cursor when lost.

P.S.

I understand that, but im case you change your mind, check out

, it has all the links in the description you need to play with GW2 cursors that are simply enlarged instead of YoloMouse's default cursors. (I've made my custom ones that are pink, because the other colors don't work well for me, and larger.)

[Bellefon.1259]

Until then, for Mac users, adjust the cursor size:System Preferences > Accessibility > Display tab > adjust the “Cursor size” slider

You can make it fairly large, much larger than the similar cursor-sizing option in Windows. And you’ll probably want to scale it down again when finished playing.

using yolomouse since 7 years.its one of the best tools :)

I wonder how many gems this will cost if they add it.

100% agree, mouse cursor scaling should be a thing.

I used to struggle with losing my cursor on the screen during messy encounters. YoloMouse helped a lot. I get that you don't want to use it, but I'd recommend giving it a second consideration and take a chance on it. It really helped me out with the same problem, and can be customized a bit. Very easy to install and tweak with a guide.
