The following print screen image shows the door next to your character.

Whether you are the driver or a participant in the group, would you like the door to appear in that location?

Basically the image has the door appear next to your character and before the mini map.

You lost me... if you are a group member, you ONLY see yourself on the top and the door positioned... you don't see the leader of the group with the door next to their name, you only see the door next to your name and you are the person appearing at the top of the list in the group... or am I misunderstanding your post?

maybe make it a small 'window', can move it where you want it and with new update it will stay there...

i know it isnt always there, only when in cata, but it could double as entry button as well and that way it could always be there as a window

I suggested around 7 years ago (forgot how long with whatever update then) for the "Door" to be movable as you have suggested, but, instead of this suggesting an old suggestion I made, I thought I would change it up.

With the current updates, this is where the door position is @ 150% zoom on my screen; https://prnt.sc/upmgt7

With help from rgc123 with instructions of using the "right click on door image" and choosing "inspect" and changing the coding for Chrome, I was able to change it to how you see it in the original post.

Thing is this, if I log off and out, I have to repeat those actions of Inspect etc... so other than the image I have placed because it seemed more stable, I thought it would get more input since the "door" placement is all the way on the right hand side of screen no matter the size of your screen or the resolution.

Fuck no!! That’s how it used to be and the lasers could block you from going to town. I lost my second warlock because of that shit. When he changed it was was stoked because I knew I’d never have to die spamming the door because too many lasers were over it. The lasers were bigger at the time but even then fuck that.

More over thats WAY too close to the arrows to fix your position. The last thing we need is the tank misclicking and towning during an EP instead of just going back to the front.

You forget how things were that badly? No wonder your suggestions are so half baked all the time..

HELL NO

Too close, may cause inadvertent trips to town,
A better place would be just to the left of your equipment icons, if moved at all.

This is mostly one of those "You do you" type threads, really shouldn't be a poll. But since it is a poll/topic...

The game was changed ages ago in a way that hits become persistent. Meaning (with the exception of mobs that move) when you hit a mob, you remain hitting it. If you heal, you push a button, when you want to flip back to your cast/stab, hit a button.

There's no need for the frenetic clicking of the initial release of explore-based cata, therefore, having a door anywhere near the combat zone is simply pointless.

In bufcore, where such things matter, I click (very methodically) a mob, then hover over the door on the right while waiting for it to die, in the levels where I'm at risk.

The only thing having the door so close would do, imo, is make it so that in groups, where you ARE frenetically clicking simply because for 90% of the time you're competing for hits since shit dies so fast, you're more likely to click out to town.

But again, my opinion on this doesn't even matter. This is a "you do you" type thing. I even support any update that would allow door positioning to be user configurable. I simply wouldn't change it from being way the fuck away from the standard field of play, because I don't find such helpful.
