The EverQuest II team is working on a new hate system that will make life a whole lot easier for tanks. Part of this system is a visual representation of hate that allows players to see where they are on the hate meter in a glance. EQ2 Players gives a great preview of what this IU addition will do and look like.
The hate meter is an addition to the UI. It will give you a visual representation of how much youre angering the NPC. The tank will be at 100%. After that, whatever percentage your meter shows will let you know how close you are to the tank.
The higher your percentage the more youre annoying the NPC. When you start creeping too close to your tank, it might be time to start using your detaunts! The hate meter is toggleable (Ctrl T or /togglethreatwindow) so it can be turned off if you dont want to use it.
