Players appreciate the flexibility in adjusting the position and size of the gameplay indicator, allowing for a personalized experience that keeps the interface unobtrusive while still accessible when needed.
“You can change the position and size of the indicator; I usually keep it under my right hand. This way, it won't be visible during normal gameplay, and I always have it in front of me if I need to see it.”
