    Timers on buffs

    So I see that SE is trying their best to enhance the game especially for us old timers who've been on here 10+. However in the 10 plus years I've been playing I've never known that there are other versions of screens out there that display information differently than the screen I am looking at. I recently was looking up a battle on youtube and came across a player who uploaded a video in which his screen displayed "timers" and recast timers on buffs placed on party members. I've seen that before on other games. I'm wondering is there an option I'm missing on my computer? For those of us who like this I think it would be an awesome addition to have timers on the buffs that we cast so we know that its time to recast. Also I would really like to see stats like "magic attack bonus", "magic defense bonus", "evasion", etc to actually see those values. Right now they are just hidden values that you hope to assume you are stacking up enough but just like all the other values I'd like to see pretty much every value in a menu. Even like critical hit rate values. All these values that are starting to be laid on gear. Double attack values in menus.

    This game has sorely needed that since it began. As for what you're talking about, it's a third party tool and nobody here in their right mind would answer that question for fear of being banned -- I would suggest asking it in youtube or googling it/reddit'ing it. Some of them are downright neat, as long as you don't cheat. Best of luck to you!

    I suspect (without seeing the video in question) that the buff recast and timers display came from a 3rd party add-on (and as such breaks the terms and conditions of playing). I may be wrong, and I'd be delighted to find it was an official option hidden in the config somewhere :-) but I've never found said option.

    As for stats some are available using the (relatively) new /checkparam command. Try /checkparam <me> from the command line....
