In many zones, I have a very hard time reading the number on the Ustusemi icon. I usually have to spin the camera around until I find some piece of background that contrasts enough with the number in the icon. Meanwhile, the number on the Finishing Moves icon is very easy to read.
Please change the Utsusemi icon so that it's more like the Finishing Moves icon.

Iv tried to never complain about it. Im happy they just added the number. That alone was a massive help. And if left like that, id have no complaint. That being said tho, what MVD said is true.

Change the icon so that it's 3 differently colored overlapping stick men for ichi and 4 for ni. Sort of how it looks now only with multiple men one behind the other representing shadows.

It is poorly colored and blends in with the back grounds.

Adjust the contrast setting for your television/monitor.

06-07-2011, 10:32 AMAtomic_SkullMy monitor is 99% perfectly calibrated and it's still hard to read. I use a series of test patterns for this. Grinding down that last 1% would require test equipment and isn't worth worrying about because you'd never see it anyway.Quote:

Honestly I still count how many shadows i have left through my chat log... The only reason I use the icon is to be sure my shadows are still there...

what they need to do is, for NINs with AF3 +2 feet is allow them to see 5 shadows on the counter for Ni

True, it's coloring is bad and blends in with most backgrounds.

Posting to support this. I didn't even realize there was a counter on the icon until about a month after I started playing again......

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.

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.
