Option to Remove the Circle Image on Skill CD

[Mykll]

Hello, everyone.

The following is a comment from UI Lead Hiroshi Minagawa in regards to the new recast timers implemented in Patch 3.2.

Yeah I am still not buying this explanation, which I otherwise love the info that went in the background.

Ok so the numbers counting down, are there on abilities without TP/MP. That info is just in the exact same spot. And we have a toggle to turn them off. So, adding a countdown timer, to abilities that had none before, uses ZERO additional memory or resources, over the previous UI where nothing was there? I remember an excuse on the TP bar was that having a number would not work, yet having numbers on those abilities were none were before DO work?

Accessibility Visual Alerts is a toggle, and that is a tremendous amount of bars bouncing all over on both side of my screen if I turn it on. So that is programmed in a way so that even if turned off, memory and resources are constantly drawing something that doesn't show up? How is that efficient? And if that is not the way it is, meaning no resources are being used, then why can't the hot bars be programmed the same?

Lessoning the white line would be an improvement. But, changing the circle, to the entire square (with the additional outlines), would be better. Having a different shape, with bright white, continuously counting down on all square abilities, especially on every single GCD, is extremely distracting.

Yeah I am either missing a lot about something, or something just doesn't make sense to me. Maybe both.


Edit: Warlax, that is perfect right there. We have UI memory and everything when we hover over an ability, but we can't add the exact same thing to the hotbar version of that ability? Yeah I dunno...
