Option to Remove the Circle Image on Skill CD

[Tisharu]

Why doesn't SE implement Add-Ons to this game yet? It have been promised since A Realm Reborn. So as of right now, whatever changed we have to stick to it. With Add-Ons it will please every user and let them customize how their UI want to be.

Every large MMO already have it like WoW, Rift, etc.

Too much motion and bright white on my hotbar now as drg. Its a bit harder to focus in fast paced raiding.

For something as important as this, you should have multiple options. It can literally affect gameplay. Were not talking about how pretty it is anymore, were talking about how distracting and focus disrupting it may be.

Ive gotten use to it. I like it. Its just a simple glance and thought of "do i see white circle still?" And thats that.

I agree on the numbers on the CD...."KISS" design
Why waste time and effort thinking so much when it can be resolved in a more straightforward way?

I'm not an expert on statistics, but I'm pretty sure you can't expand a finding like, "90% of our internal team approved it, so 1,000 out of 10,000 players won't like it" because not everyone had a chance to be "picked" to test it. That would be like asking only Republicans who they will vote for in an election, Democrat or Republican, and shocked to find that most are going to vote Republican.

It seems far too much time/effort went into the issue that could have been fixed with a simple adjustment: putting a CD timer on the ability like people have shown. It's almost like, "Man, I got a flat tire. Better replace the car."

I am content with it how it is now. However the perfect cooldown timer for me, has always been a darkened icon about 65% darker than normal colorization. Then a big numbered countdown in the center.

All I really wanted was a completely grayed out icon until the ability was actually off cooldown. I'm ok with the timers as is but the circles on everything is a little much.

Not little... it's extremely too much to distract you on the screen.
First looking - cool, quite like it.
During battle - shit... all circles, and more circles on ground to dodge...
After 2 days - this circle better can be off... too annoying to have on screen...

When I read on Hiroshi's replied... Memory Limitation? Memory on our PC or his PC ? I don't get it... then... I stopped reading further on the wall of text. >.>;

I don't like the circles at all. They're distracting and straining to the eye. I like the little number countdown in the corner, but as has been already mentioned, would prefer a simple overlay in the center instead.

It's also interesting you had a 90% approval on this when, given the responses here, it would seem the opposite to be true. I know we can't go off the forums to reflect a majority of players, I'm just saying.

Funny about limitations, when you mouse over any skill and have active the item/skill tooltip you have a number countdown that tells you how many seconds you need to wait before the skill is ready to use again. You just had to apply that countdown, not this whole flashing circles.

Also logically when something isnt available why do you make it flashy? it should be the other way around, turned off, not flashy with a circle spinning. Oh man these UI designers nowadays..
