/countdown

I like it, but can you adjust the size in the next patch? It is so pixelated and huge. <3

Sorry if a similar thread has been created already.

Off topic but I just wanted to say i did a simple test and /countdown seems to be in sync with other people so it seems like it can be used to coordinate time nukes and things.

Commence discusion on the size of /countdown now :p

I like it too, but I do agree it's a bit over sized.

hmm. how long can you do a /wait in macros? I do a lot of duoing with a friend, I play Monk and he plays Pally, and it would be cool to set up a second wind macro that counts down the last 10 - 20 seconds of that cooldown. It does not happen often but sometimes we may link more than my second wind can handle. I can usually keep between 50% and 100% HP but there are those time when incantations or something does a ton of damage really fast.

If I could set up a macro that was basically (second wind, wait x number of seconds, countdown final few seconds) then my buddy would be able to see that I am still cooling down second wind and hit me with a quick cure to keep me on my feet till i can heal myself.

That might be useful, and I think it opens up more applications as well. like the timed nuking.

I do really like it. It's clearly designed for use with 3D (as pretty much every other visual UI elements have been designed for lately) so maybe for 2.0 it'll have separate displays for 3D/Non-3D.

On topic: I don't mind the size (at least, hard to be missed...) and I like the color!

Its server-side is why.

no it needs to be big cause the people using it are too dumb to use the clock to coordinate

I feel /countdown is the dumbest thing I ever seen, its an annoyance I would be way more for it if only party members can see it but when you in a packed place ingame and everyones doing it and all you see is timers everywhere Its the most annoying thing to me.
