SE, from bottom of my heart, change damn GCD animation

[RocheKat]

Drove me nuts at first but now I don't notice it... just had to adjust to something being on my screen that wasn't there before.

I'm with the 90% on this. I'm really enjoying the new timers and animation for them.

There was a whole long post by the devs about this, shortly after it came in. They said something like: 90% of their test audience loved it, while 10% hated it. So they went with the 90% and basically said sucks to be you to the 10%. It's here to stay.

Yeah, 90%... of 50 people, not even all of whom even play the game. What kind of messed up test data was that? I can't even.

Here's the post : http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...00#post3588300

And look at the first post there, with 50+ likes from people in support of removing it. If that was all I polled, oh look, I've got a 100% disapproval rating.

I'm not saying it has to be removed for the few people that like it, but an option would be nice, regardless of whatever ridiculous excuse we get for why we can't have the option.

I don't really see what the issue is.

Yeah, 90%... of 50 people, not even all of whom even play the game. What kind of messed up test data was that? I can't even.

And, judging by the replies on this post and my own observations in-game, that still seems to be around 90%, so what's the problem?

Okay, you don't like it and that's fine. You're entitled to your opinion. But personally, the old ones were awful for figuring out when a skill was re-usable. Ever tried using an ability only to find out it wasn't quite charged because it had a couple of seconds left, but the icon looked almost identical to its default? I have. Many times.

The new ones give me a clear indication of when I can use my skills, so it gets full marks for me. It's not like you should be staring at your hotbar for the entire game anyway.

I love it, they should make it optional, but please SE DO NOT REMOVE THEM!

They don't glow anywhere near as much since they adjusted it. It's much better now than it was when they first changed it.

That said still prefer the older style. But happy they killed the glow at least

Also a fan of the new timers. It was a pain trying to use a CD that looked like it was ready but really wasn't. Threw me off every time.
