    Changing the icon for Royal Road

    Could the icon for Royal Road be changed so we can tell what buff we have a bit easier rather than a small icon in an icon?

    Maybe like so;

    Green - Area of Effect
    Red - Longer Duration
    Blue - Enhanced

    I actually would like the hotbar button to change to the "buff" that we have too instead of just changing colors on the small hud, which I might even get the color for royal road buff (if implemented) confused with my held spread if what op said happened

    Playing the color game is rough, not only do certain cards have colors related to them but not everyone can really see color.

    It's really not that hard to know though. And if they make it color based it would be hard for people who are color blind.

    Personally I find it easy to tell now just by the card I royal roaded. Sure it takes some time getting used to at first but after that it becomes like instinct or something

    I second yawnie
    At first it seems à little bit confusing

    But once you're used to your card
    You can manage your next card in'one instant knowing the effect, the enhancement and who's gonna use it well

    Memorizing what you Royal Road'd before is ideal yes, but a simple colored icon or even a different shaped icon for each effect would be really helpful, especially for us console gamers where we can't easily just mouse over the buff to see what it is.

    Hum there is 3 icon
    Why do you want to mouse over it ?
    If you change RR color it could be confused with the card itself

    Memorisation is key
    3 RR
    6 card

    And the best would be
    The 24 combinaisons

    Console user.

    Clockface icon is extended.
    Plus sign in enhanced
    Bullseye sign is expanded.

    I dont need to mouse over them.

    Playing any of the classes in the game required the player to memorise what their buffs/debuffs symbols are, AST isnt alone in this.

    Another way to look at it is... Spear & Arrow buffs manipulate time (Clockface). Balance & Bole are straight buffs that increase/reduce damage dealt/damage taken, thus "enhancing" the target (Plus). And the Spire & Ewer is basically a mini Bard/Machinist's AoE Resource Song.

    Not really hard to memorize... Especially if you leveled from 30 to 60 and did a handful of dungeons.

    Yep thats true.

    I rarely have to look at the royal road buff now to remind myself of what i have. Usually remember just from what card i burned last.
