Utsusemi Icon Number is hard to read

This has continued to be a great annoyance. I see that usability improvements are on the test server road map. I hope improving the utsusemi icon to be more readable is part of that.

Sorry for the super-late reply on this one but I checked in with the dev. team regarding this for you. They haven’t solidified any specific adjustment plans as of yet, but they are looking into the problem of how it is difficult to read.

One solution, at least for the PC playerbase, is to give them the option to scale up the interface. It gets absolutely tiny at 1920x1200!

put a background for the buff icon bar will make it easier to read already.

The problem lies with low contrast backgrounds and high resolution monitors, such as Tahrongi or Attohwa Chasm:

Usually I have to rotate the camera to find a dark spot to position the icons on to actually be able to read the number.

Just make the entire icon the number of shadows you have left.
