The new mechanic indicator text is more distracting than helpful

[Akonyl]

If I remember right it only does it for the first couple after that its only in the text channel?

Not quite, using Valigarmanda EX as an example, for the donut/cone/out tell, it only shows up the first time it's done in the fight, and then doesn't even show up in the text channel afterwards. But that's not a universal thing, because both volcanic eruptions + all three avalanches get the DBM-alert text onscreen(+in chat) each time they show up.

But even if that was the case, a lot of these mechs they use the text for only show up once or twice in a fight anyway, so it'd still be happening like half the time. Maybe if they turned them off if you'd already cleared a fight or something, it'd be a bit better/less intrusive, but then I could see people complaining about fights getting harder after they'd cleared it once (which I would be okay with, tbh).

I was replying to your example of cutters cry i'm not sure why you pulled up a different example. But either way checking videos I was wrong anyway.

Oh whoops, for whatever reason I assumed you were talking about the new flashy version of the text and responding to the second half of what you quoted there (my suggestion of a more subdued option for the new text), essentially as a way of saying "the new text doesn't really need a more subdued style option, because after you see it the first time it just hides itself anyway (except the chat box)". But I get you now.

I love it..I need an "idiot alert" to suit my playstyle, but optiins are the spice of life, and if you want to turn it off, you should be able to

No spice. Only wuk lamat. Bloom is mandatory now too.

Yes, it's at worst possible place to have that red stripe. If I could move it on the bottom of the screen it could actually be helpful. Might even enlarge it a bit. It really should be made HUD element and enjoy the usual HUD element adjustment options.

I legitimately did not know this was a warning, I just thought it was some kind of fluff and have just been ignoring it and paying attention to the mechanics as I see them come down the pipeline LOL.

Learn something new every day!

I don't mind "MECHANICS HAPPENING" warnings, but I find this one so hard to read for some reason. The text all kinda just blurs together. It's also placed somewhere away from where my eyes normally are on my screen.

Thats funny because you can not rely on it, when you do valigarmanda EX, on the frist time it shows the text, but the second time it doesnt anymore.

Haven't had a problem with them outside my first Tender Valley run where it made me laugh so hard I couldn't play effectively for a full minute in the last boss. Honestly, I'm fine with it being there as babyproofing.
