[Toroids not dropping after new update]

Can confirm no drops from anything other than Raknoids.

Cave drops do not seem to have changed. But the chance is low enough that you can't tell the difference between bug and bad luck.

This also suggests a third possibility where fishing dyes make hotspots glow for increased visibility.

Not super-interesting when it comes to hand-thrown dyes, though it can be a way to save expensive bait. But it would work well with the general idea of using Oxylus to help with vision issues whilst fishing.

That's the usual reaction on vidja games fora, yeah. Which is why most people avoid making accessibility feedback.

Used to be worse, though. It wasn't that long ago that with many studios, it would be the devs/mods who'd be first in line with this sort of comments.

[Fishing with poor eyesight]

For players with poor eyesight, the shimmer/visual effect of hotpots blends into the general water visuals.

It becomes easy to see a hotspot that isn't there (say, due to a sunlight reflection) or miss a hotspot that's there (due to insufficient visual contrast).

The Oxylus' fishing precept helps a fair bit, but the minimap icon isn't precise enough. Knowing for a fact that it's there is a great help, but you still end up desperately staring at the water trying to see where it looks different (and not finding it).

Could the Oxylus' precept also do some in-world spot designation ? Like shining a bright red searchlight on the spot, or lobbing a bait-like object into the hotspot to mark it.

That'd help older people, visually impaired people, folks who simply suck at picking visual contrasts, and kubrows (kubrows are known for their poor eyesight).

[minimap and 3440x1440]

On a similar topic, being able to scale the UI past 100 on PC would also help.

1440p+ monitors are slowly becoming common among enthusiasts. And there are now GPUs who can easily run Warframe at very high resolutions to benefit from downsampling.

Which results in minuscule text, minimaps, health bars, mob names, etc..
