Visual doom indicator like some other FF games

[Alhanelem]

I can't think of an instance where you don't either see "[Player Name] is doomed" or "Additional Effect: [Player Name] is doomed."

That's not what I'm talking about.

Tahngarthor's doom counter is now down to 10.
Tahngarthor's doom counter is now down to 9.
Tahngarthor's doom counter is now down to 8....

This is only visible to you, not anyone else. Yes, if you have the appropriate filters off, you can see everyone's "Soandso is Doomed" message. But it's impossible to see how much time is left on the counter unless you yourself are doomed.

The reason this isn't displayed in the log is simple. If there is AoE doom, it would result in a massive flood of the chat log, as I exemplified earlier in the thread. Move the counter to a visual indicator and you get around the log flood problem.
