This is where i dont think you fully understand my predicament. My class/spec doesnt have these fillers.

Sorry to :bump:. But this topic needs far more attention then its receiving. Yes the Ilum stuff needs to be addressed.

From the PvP thread i started. Now this is only only Ability being used an an example: As a Republic Force Sentinel your using the same CD color Indicator as the majority of our abilities. Below is an image taken from my Pc. Is Force Stasis on CD? http://imageshack.us/f/696/cdforcestasis.jpg/ Six seconds remain on Force Stasis CD. The visibility of the small line decreases even further at one to two seconds. For those that dont know which icon is Force Stasis. Sixth ability in from the Bottom Right.

Once the GCD cleared though you could tell if the ability was off CD and in Range/Focus amount met. Here you have one ability that appears to be usable for six seconds even though its on CD.

http://imageshack.us/f/696/cdforcestasis.jpg/ I ask a Developer to look at the above image. Imagine your in the heat of a PvP fight and wish to use Force Stasis. Is it on a CD in the above image? Answer: Yes, six seconds remain on the CD. Now how do you think this CD indicator looks at 1-2 seconds left on Force Stasis? How does it look on things with a CD longer then 45 seconds?

Heres an Example: http://imageshack.us/f/696/cdforcestasis.jpg/ Look at Force Stasis quickly as if your in a fight. Now tell me if that is a clear indication the ability is on CD? This is when only 6 seconds are left on the CD. Its looks even worse when 1-2 seconds are on CD.

A level 50 bracket for Warzones needed to be introduced on a Server by Server basis. Data needed to be researched on each server if each faction had atleast eight to ten people que'd throughout a twenty four hour period within ten to fifteen minutes of another. If that criteria was met then a level 50 only Warzone bracket makes sense.

I watched hours upon hours of gameplay footage on this game trying to see if it was worth buying. Sentinel gameplay was the only class that looked fun to play (for me).

Im a Focus Spec'd Sentinel. Mean i rely on six main abilities for adequate damage (Force Leap, Crushing Leap, Force Stasis, Force Exhaustion, Force Sweep and Zealous Strike). All of which have a CD after use. Unlike others i dont play on a monitor. My screen is a 52" LCD HDTV in my living room at 1920x1080 resolution. I 100% believe if you looked at the way this change indicates CD's on my current setup, and tried to play with it under these circumstances. You'd probably quit the game too.

As a level 50 Republic Focus spec'd Sentinel, prior to 1.1 patch the class/spec was fine. Our biggest issue right now is the new CD indicator on the Quickslot bars.

Change is always good if its better. How does illuminating an ability in the Quickslot when its on CD better?

Fact that the server im on doesnt have enough 50's for adequate WZ que times - i could deal with this. Add in this new feature and the game is now unplayable for me. I was going to resub next week when my free month was up.

At the current time, No. Primary reasons are: 1 - New CD indicator on the quickslots makes PvP damn near unplayable. 2 - Server im on doesnt have enough 50's to warrant a level 50 only WZ bracket.

Why wasnt this reverted or made an option in this patch? I play a Focus spec'd Sentinel. Main abilities consist of five with a total of 19 that are bound. Additionally i dont play on a monitor, rather a television. This new CD indicator is horrible!

Hopefully they made the new CD indicator of 1.1 an option. Otherwise i cant renew my subscription, game far to unplayable.

Please include this with you fix during todays patch.

+1 Please revert this back. Playing on a 52" TV, not a 20" Monitor while i sit inches away from it.

In the Focus tree we have a talent to make Mortal Strike not be interrupted. Im fully talented into it but im still CC'd or pushbacked during it. As i think about it, i believe it only makes me not interrupt the ability before it fully finishes.....which is kind of dumb.

1 - Level 50 PvP Brackets on Servers that have the population to support it. (Server im on is low population with not enough 50's at this current stage to warrant a level 50 only Warzone bracket.) 2 - Valor points acquired from Ilum in the past 24 hours to be negated from your character. (Again this hasnt happened on my server but ive seen the proof on others). 3 - No one should ever be spawn camped. 4 - New ability coolddown indicator on the Quickslot bar needs to be reverted back to the previous. Currently impossible to see if your ability is off CD. I stopped playing today primarily from #4. Though the two hour que time i had earlier this afternoon for a WZ wasnt fun.

Cooldown Indicator: Previous one prior to 1.1 wasnt perfect but the best according to what you gave us in this patch. As a Focus Sentinel i need to rely on five primary abilities that all have their own CD. Button greyed out with a lined indicator was perfect. Only becoming illuminated once off CD. Ability Lag: Ability lag is usually caused by taxing the processor on the client machine or high server usage. On strange occasions i will not have the ability to use my standard attacks. The animation will start, not trigger the GCD and stop the animation half way through. Workaround i discovered is that Force Leap will clear this issue, crushing leap doesnt. PvP Bracket 10-49: Abilities we learn are ideal for PVE. PVP its a completely different story. As someone who leveled 10-50 from 90% Warzones we are limited heavily in this department as compared to other class. I tried a sorcerer with a friend. By level ten i had a CC, pushback and a stun. All my sentinel had was a single gap closer. Understand this is class specific for PVE instances. However it alters PVP even more so.

They need to give an option to turn this back to what it was. I play a Sentinel not on a monitor, but my TV. During combat in PvP with the old CD indicator i could easily tell if something was off or on CD. Now its virtually impossible when a CD is near its completion. This issue at hand is game breaking for me. Not being able to tell if an ability is on CD is ridiculous.

Your crits are firing, but the abilities used to increase that damage arent being used prior to the sweep.

My crits are still hitting for the same amount (Level 50). Problem im having is the inability to get a WZ to pop and the UI display of an ability on CD.

Im also a Sentinel. The few WZ's i was able to get in today i was wondering why my abilities werent working. Then i noticed what they changed in this patch. Please revert back or make an option to use the previous UI CD indicator.
