The flashiness was here in 1.0, we complained about it, it is still here and it's worse in a sense since, now, we cannot even tell who is using what, all WSs are fast, flashy strikes (and noisy actually).
And yes, I saw that we could see who is doing what by looking at the party UI, cool-looking, flashy, clustered, bar-on-bar messy indicators.
We will see during Beta since I guess we'll have even more of those videos (bringing the question of the usefulness of Alpha videos) and we'll get an idea if things were really changed for the best. Right now, my LS and myself are really worried about this game's future and I know more and more people who are too, but we will play it for sure at release.
Just gotta see if we'll stay.
