One small thing that I wish SE would implement for SCH is a change to the icon for galvanize when we crit. Currently, as you know, the icon looks the same on one of your teammates when Galvanize is applied. When We crit, that shield is doubled, but there is no way to know this information unless you see the fly text or have your combat log running. Change the icon for the crit version of Galvanize and make it noticeable, maybe render it a different color or a darker version of green. We already see this with protect. It would be nice to see the same type of change for Stone Skin, render it a darker shade of brown for WHM or something to that effect. What do you guys think?

That could work for adloquim but not for succor
The double shield upon crit does not apply to succor -

I'd love a different icon for crit Adlo.. Maybe a different color even would work

I figured the larger text and bolded "Critical!" was good enough.
Can we request text messages on crit? -
08-06-2014, 04:25 AMAmyNeudaizI play Sch a lot. I don't always keep my eyes 100% on the fly text. It's a good QoL change and it's not really that ridiculous.Quote:

Yeah, I would really like red as the color if I got to pick, that or blue.

Sounds good to me, I support this.

that would be really nice actually! what a Marvelous idea!
-
08-07-2014, 03:32 AMSeryl199
Not really a bad idea. Never really thought of the need for it, but it certainly would be nice. It would definitely increase awareness of crits for other classes like tanks and whm. While we're at it, how about different icons for graniteskin and stoneskin?
-

Thats a nice idea. I never really pay attention if it is a crit or not a crit. Would be a nice way to show it (Just like Protect).

This is a great idea!

I can only agree with Exstal there

(Even though I really like how scholar skills are green'ish themed.) -

Sounds like a great idea which would be helpful especially when the shit hits fan :)

I definitely would like this implemented, it's very easy to do and fast to implement.

08-07-2014, 10:40 PMDanbo05The same applies to Succor, however the shield just isn't gonna be as strong as an Adlo shield.Quote:

Bumped. On board for this.

I'd love to hear the Dev's input on this. I wonder if this is even possible, I sure hope it is.
-
08-08-2014, 05:47 AMAmyNeudaizI can confirm this is how it works.Quote:

While we're on the topic, I'd like if they could at some indication as to how much of the shield is actually left. Knowing that I crit and put a 3-4K shield someone is nice, but I'd also like to know if that shield is at a 100% or 1% remaining. Maybe have an effect that ups transparency of the icon as the shield gets chipped away, so it looks like it's fading. This could work on Stoneskin as well.

08-09-2014, 09:36 PMTemariVtwoThe game "Secret World" has a nice indicator for barriers from Blood Magic heals. When a barrier is applied to someone, their life bar is modified by making the portion that is protected with a barrier yellow.Quote:

Actually, speaking of changing the color of flying text...
I would also like if the flying healing and damage texts for other players were a different color.
Maybe other player's heals are blue and damage is purple.
Sometimes it's hard to tell what's what. Especially in Labyrinth of the Ancients or Syrcus Tower. -

A red icon would be cool.
Sometimes I'm too busy healing other members or not watching the numbers so don't notice a Crit. Would be good to have something else so we'd know.
