The new mechanic indicator text is more distracting than helpful

[Akonyl]

If I remember right it only does it for the first couple after that its only in the text channel?

Not quite, using Valigarmanda EX as an example, for the donut/cone/out tell, it only shows up the first time it's done in the fight, and then doesn't even show up in the text channel afterwards. But that's not a universal thing, because both volcanic eruptions + all three avalanches get the DBM-alert text onscreen(+in chat) each time they show up.

But even if that was the case, a lot of these mechs they use the text for only show up once or twice in a fight anyway, so it'd still be happening like half the time. Maybe if they turned them off if you'd already cleared a fight or something, it'd be a bit better/less intrusive, but then I could see people complaining about fights getting harder after they'd cleared it once (which I would be okay with, tbh).

I was replying to your example of cutters cry i'm not sure why you pulled up a different example. But either way checking videos I was wrong anyway.

Oh whoops, for whatever reason I assumed you were talking about the new flashy version of the text and responding to the second half of what you quoted there (my suggestion of a more subdued option for the new text), essentially as a way of saying "the new text doesn't really need a more subdued style option, because after you see it the first time it just hides itself anyway (except the chat box)". But I get you now.
