Status bar improvement

[Xyno]

Good day ♀,...,♀




Look at the picture, please. Have you ever thought - do we need all these icons in the status bar all the time? Most of them are are very not important to see all the time: food, FC buffs, Stoneskin, Medica and other healers buffs, squadron buff and many others. In the battle we need to see many our statuses- no matter what class do we have, which are tell us about proks, stances, buffs and so on, but among all these NOT IMPORTANT statuses rather hard to see them, they lost. That is why I have some ideas how to make the status bar more better

1) Remove FC buffs from the status bar to the FC menu. It would be a great decision
2) Remove food buff to another place
3) Remove all other statuses like squadron buff, GC buffs and other such buffs to another places like different in-game menus
4) Give us the function to turn off the visibility of all statuses, that we gain from the other players (for example healers buffs) (like we can turn off the statuses of the other players on the target)
OR
instead of one status bar make two- one status bar of our own statuses and another for all statuses, which other players put on us. It would be great

UPD
I have another idea- special little menu in the TIMERS menu. In this little menu will be all the beneficial statuses and bonuses of the player like FC buffs, food and different others

UPD
Right now we already can see the active FC buffs in the FC menu. I dont see any reasons why the icons of these buffs must be in the status bar

For me as a raider that's a terrible idea. I need to see if my FC has the right buff up and especially the Buffood Buff is the most Important one by far. What bugs me instead is the sorting of these things.
FC Buffs, Food Buff etc. should always be most left and then being added by my class specific buffs.
So yea for me as a raider that's not quite as good. Maybe make it optional but don't get rid of it all together.

Do you really need to see the FC buffs all the time? Maybe you need only to check them before the raid and forget about it?

Yea on FC buffs i'd agree But not on Buffood and the others :3

I wouldn't mind so much if it just had a priority style system..

for a ninja for example your kiss and huton should be the left most buffs they're pretty much always your number one priority. similar thing with bards and straight shot it was annoying trying to keep track of straight shot when it was constantly jumping places on the status bar. straight shot again should pretty much always be over on the left cos it's high priority..

Maybe have things like fc buffs protect food justified on the right edge of the status bar, while other buffs like blood for blood, internal release, chakras etc are justified on the left.

We should be able to choose which buffs (and debuffs) show imo.

WOW had a few addons that could accomplish this and I think we should have 100% control over what we do and don't see on our own bar, in the party window as well as the mob (the limit of dots needs to be removed so that our own dots always show, without fail, no matter how many are applied to the mob etc. Also break buff/debuff into 2 separate bars
se has improved the ui , but more improvements could be implemented.
please consider

If I'm using food, I want to know when it wears off. (That concern isn't just for raiders. In my case it's usually for crafting.) So I don't want that status hidden off in some out of the way window. But I could certainly agree with some better prioritizing to arrange which order buffs show up in.

I just want a way to make a custom bar by choosing in what order will the status effects appear.

Priority style system is good, but this will not make the status bar shorter, it still will be huge. I offer to make something to make it shorter. To remove different unnecessary buffs and statuses to another place, separate them from the statuses, that we need to see every second or a function to hide them

I have another idea- special little menu in the TIMERS menu. In this little menu will be all the beneficial statuses and bonuses of the player like FC buffs, food and different others

The only thing that bugs me about buffs/debuffs is when you get so many of them on a target that yours fail to display. This happens most often when on my Summoner: I'll glance at the bar to check the timer and not see I DoT I just cast 6 seconds ago, refresh it because maybe I didn't actually cast it, only to still not see it display even though I see the flying text and text in the battle window for it. Since they're not displaying it means that I'm shooting in the dark as to when they're actually falling off and I end up erring on the side of greatly clipping them with a recast long before I know it would fall off just to be able to maintain them blindly.

If whatever gets implemented to assuage the above issues also improves this situation then I would be all for it.
