Option to Remove the Circle Image on Skill CD

[IAmPotent]

I like the circles and numbers, would it have been nice to have it in the middle? Sure. Do I need it? No.

"It's really distracting" If circles spinning at the bottom of your screen is distracting, you should probably think about controlling your ADD.

"It hurts my eyes" Its white and grey, and on the side of the screen, pay attention to the middle.

"It makes it hard to see what skill it is" You put it on the hotbar in that spot, but you don't know what it is?!?!

Control that ADD! Heard him guys?! TAME THAT ADD! TIE IT DOWN! SHOW IT WHO'S BOSS!!....lolwat?

Personally I really hate the change. I really don't think there would have been threads being made after the patch asking why a change like this wasn't implemented. It's pretty unneeded, but the fact that this change was made isn't really the problem. The problem is not being able to revert back to not having those circles.

There are 12 battle classes, 8 crafting classes, and 3 gathering classes in this game. Do you have all their abilities committed to muscle memory?

Anything that makes elements of the UI harder to see is not an improvement.

And I don't see how having a big number above a grayed out icon make it easier to read either.

I like it the way it is now, but if I would want a change, it would be to make the white circle a little less bright (as proposed by the dev) and bigger, so the circle is nearly tangent to the icon border.
This way, we could have a better vision of the skill "behind" the circle.

EDIT : missed the quote.

analog. or digital is the thing

when u are looking at TIMERS ,in FFXIV case u are dealing with lots of cooldowns, what u do prefer?

is way faster and simple to use digital than a circle...im fairly sure that more than this "10%" would prefer watching digital numbers instead....

example:






in the game we have the CD timer small in a corner and a big white circle in mid , the same thing kida happened in swtor at release , the cds were distratcing , they even included the GCD on all the skills it was so annoying, that devs was forced to give options to players to remove the gcd animation, and for timers (dark background-light CD , light-dark , dark-dark , light light) , plus digital numbers on mid.
