Options Window


The Options Window can be accessed from the Main Menu, or by using the slash command /toggle options. It allows you to set a large number of variables to completely personalize your game experience. If an option can also be set using a slash command, the command will be listed below.

At the top of the Options Window are 5 tabs: General, Controls, Keymapping, Graphics and Audio, and Windows.

At the bottom of the Options Window are 4 buttons: Close/Apply Now, Load Options From File (/option_load), Save Options to File (/option_save), and Undo Changes. This is true for all tabs except for the Graphics and Audio tab which has 3 buttons at the bottom: Close/Apply Now, Set to Defaults, and Undo Changes.

Note: When you use an option related slash command, make sure that the Options window is closed before you use the slash command. If you use the command while the options window is open, often nothing will change.


General Tab

 

Team Options

The Team Window can be opened from the Chat Window or the Main Menu.

The Team Window contains information about any Heroes you may currently be teamed up with. You will see their names and Archetype icon, plus Hit Point and Endurance bars to help you track their condition. For more information about a Hero, you can right-click on his or her name in this window. It is strongly recommended that you keep this window open whenever you are involved in a team up.

Sidekicks are a special option that allows low-level Heroes to team up with Heroes of much higher level. The lower-level Hero, the sidekick, gains a temporary boost in fighting ability that allows him or her to fight alongside the higher-level Hero, or mentor.

These options help you customize sidekicking, teleport, and jointly completing cooperative missions.
