Option for "Legacy Hitmarker"

    It was in the game for so long and I know so many og players (and new ones at that matter) that really like it, and I agree with them, it just looks way smoother and nicer imo.

    Take League of Legends for example, there is new cursor in it but they still have option for "Legacy Cursor" for people that like using it.

    Can you do same thing for Sea of Thieves please? Add option for Legacy Hitmarker, I bet that a lot of people would have it enabled. It can't hurt the game in any way, it can only make it better and more fun to players that like it more than new one, and it's fairly easy to implement. Rare, please consider.

    Edit: as u can see in comments most of people agree that old hitmarker is better and those who dont agree also agree on fact there should be option to toggle between Old/New hitmarker

    This is such a good idea mr. npc pirat. I myself have been playing Sea of Thieves for really long time, since 2018. I have always found shooting weapons in the game really satisfying and big part of that has been how hitting the enemy feels. Therefore hitmarkers are very important. Since the addition of the "new" hitmarkers I immediately felt disgusted and had to quit the game for over a year. Only recently I was able to come back and every time I hit enemy I get a jumpscare and get a little bit sad because I remember it being a nice feeling to hit but now you just get bad hitmarker

    @oniuum The old hit marker is good, no doubt, but the new one is not "so bad it jumpscares you". I prefer the modern one over the old one, but I do agree that there should be a way to toggle between the two

    @potatosord Yeah I agree, new one is not that bad, I just know that both me, @oniuum guy for example and many other players just prefer the old one because of its smooth feeling when u hit someone, or maybe it's just looking nicer to us overall. I totally agree with you the BEST decision is to have option to toggle between the two, it's just aesthetic/personal preference.

    Rare, let us decide, I even asked some popular streamers like iDBz and similar to check their opinion, literally everyone agreed there should be option to choose between two because they liked old one :)

    The old hitmarker was so much better in my opinion. Anyone who replies with "it's actually better" or "it's actually not that bad", that's great that you like it but at least let there be an option to toggle between the two!

    Agree agree agree
    The old hit marker was a beautiful sight.

    New hit marker looks like it came straight out of overwatch. Way too modern futuristic imo

    Definitely not a priority, but would love to have the classic hit back

    With the recent addition of 110 fov, and announcement of reintroducing quick swap (faster weapon switching), an option for old hit markers, as well as the modern ones, would be perfect to see come along with the new quick swap update. The community has shown appreciation of all that rare is doing right now for the PvP side of the game, and the option to toggle between preferred hit markers would be nice.
