So Why is Threat Invisible?

Re-read the thread. Your reading comprehension skills are at fault here. Sorry.

How about we go at this in another direction then.

How can you make threat visible? Would you make it visible by a meter similar to Omen from WoW? Would it be a number designation above their heads showing how much of a lead you'd have percentage wise? Would you make a graphic at their feet, around the targeting reticle?

The point being, we have no insight as to WHY threat is invisible because that was a design choice that BioWare actively made, for whatever reason unbeknownst to us.

Next time, instead of attacking people, rephrase the question so that people CAN understand, not attack their intelligence. Secondly, you might want to look at the fact that if 4 pages of forum posting can't understand what youra sking, our reading comprehension skills aren't to be evaluated, but rather your ability to talk to people.

Why do we have an invisible game mechanic? It's like not being able to see health or resource bars. What possible reason could there be for this?

Some bad answers I want to head off at the pass: "I can kinda sense where my threat is based on how hard I'm hitting things." Unless you're an robot, no you can't. You just can't. And even the robot would need to know all the threat values anyway, and we just don't have this information. You might have a vague notion of your threat, but this is the whole problem I'm on about. Why not just show us like heath or resources?

"See?! This is why they need to give us mods!" No, they just need to show us the values in game like every other value; health, resources, resolve, cooldowns... again, why is this one value singled out for invisibility?

Guys, guys... he doesnt care about threat mechanics. He only wants a number to stroke his e-peen with. /disregard

To answer to the why questions its simple. Cause its not needed.

I asked WHY we can't see them.

I never said I desperately needed them.

I never complained that I couldn't play, or that the game was broken without them.

You insist on talking about ANYTHING BUT THIS. You know why? Because you don't know. So could you please just stop now?

You have posted under the false pretense of a fair and educated discussion of a game feature, while providing little to no evidence for your argument, and thus I shall be leaving.

Everyone wants content, which only BW produce. Everyone wants bugs gone, which only BW can fix. A small number of people want a specific tool, which any half decent programmer can write and supplement when the game becomes addon friendly. Guess what BW should be, and is, focusing on?
