Option to Remove the Circle Image on Skill CD

[Laraul]

This thread reminds of player's reaction when the TP bars we're first introduced. There were players whom complained the TP bars we're cumbersome and annoying to be forced to now see the party's TP. And then they realized that it really wasn't all that bad and overall most people welcomed the change.


What do I see here? "It's flashy and it annoy's me!" Life is full of annoyances. You get used to them. And you'll get used to the 'flashy' circles.

The difference is that with the TP bars we went from having no option to having something. Something that didn't make any changes to what you already saw, just an addition. But with the action bars, we changed an existing setup and downgraded from something that was intuitive and made sense to something that is confusing and distracting.

I'm starting to get used to them, and getting better at learning to recognize the icons even when they're covered by that bright circle. But that doesn't change my view about it being a really poor design. It's a design that highlights the ones that should be obscured and obscures the ones that should be highlighted. Also, due to a much larger value difference marking the cooldowns, the more subtle value difference between a standard icon and a grayed out icon (for level sync blocked, or conditions not met, etc.) is much harder to see than it used to be.
