    Overtime count down please?

    While I do understand the game gives us a "one min. remaining" notification, may we perhaps get a visual indicator when OT is about to start? Maybe the crystal could blink or turn orange slowly has it gets closer to zero or even just another reminder at 30 seconds? The OT starting catches a lot of players off guard and into a instant lost because no one is inside the crystal bounds cause they are fighting off 1-5 enemies at once, kiting corners, etc. requiring all their attention, which is understandable.
    But even after all that the team can still insta-lose because the player wasn't inside the bounds at zero seconds WHICH I UNDERSTAND, the problem is the lack of a second indicator/countdown to the end of a game or the start of OT.

    Yes I understand that you could just glance up but when you're fighting a group and every skill you use could spell doom or victory, you don't have the luxury to look up sometimes lol and an audio or a on screen cue would really help!

    Please Yoshida-san?

    Yes please, it's kind of silly not to have a sound countdown at 10-15s left and down.

    PvP's sound design is lacking, in general. So much more leveraging can be done to communicate information both audibly and visually.

    I'm totally for the Crystal changing color or the environment changing color (like Sudden Death in Feast) for overtime. We definitely don't need a countdown though, numbers on a screen will just clog an already hectic display.

    While they are at it they should also add a star or anything next to the team you're in and make the progress % numbers clearer. Maybe it's a me problem, but I just don't understand their crystal progress UI. You never know at a glance which number is your progress or the opponent's, unless it's extremely obvious by sub context (your team sucks and havs never progressed and the enemy has progressed far).
