I quote from the Linden blog:
"The beacon now kicks ass"

Get its ass kicked more likely.
The thing is not only practically invisible, it actually stops ABOVE its target's Z coordinates;
so there goes the usefulness of targeting an object high above.

Did anyone who tested this ever thought "jeez, this might be a bad idea" ?

Anyway, as far as constructive criticism goes:

The old beacon was FAR better visible than the new one. Can we therefore have it back ?
Or at least brighten this one up to decent visibility and fix the altitude thing; that'd work for me too...


EDIT: just found the cheesy beacon option in the client menu. I'll admit that one rocks :-)
Now just make the beacon a tad brighter and have it reach the ground again :-)

"Cheesy Beacon" is like a lightsaber and shockwave all in one.

The red arrow (same as before) continues to point to the beacon, even when it's up in the sky.

I'll forward your feedback to Runitai, wielder of the new beacon.
