KOS_MOS Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 For the Love of baby Jesus.....who's bright, and I mean BRIGHT idea was it to change the cooldown graphic? It was near perfect before, faded, just nice, able to see perfectly what cooldowns were on cooldowns and what skills we could use next........This super bright whatever you want to call it cooldown graphic is utterly terrible. WTB the axe who gets to fire the idiot to thought of this idea, and another axe for the idiot who approved it......PST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOS_MOS Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 BTW.....If they actually read this, PLEASE revert to the previous version........or give us an option to change it to either this headache mode or the old better version on our choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Partyrockk Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Eh I'll give it a day or two before I cancel. Just last night I was exclaiming on gen chat how the game is so wonderful. It is. I just can't play it anymore now. Over 12 hours since any response from BW was posted... and that just said they'd "investigate" it. This is the kind of thing that you not only call and wake up the lead developer, but you call and wake up your team of lawyers. Seriously. (no I don't plan on suing, but someone out there will have seizure and then do so) My issue isn't even the physical problems the UI causes; it's the inability to see the status of certain cooldowns. It's just annoying to play. I love everything about this game, but the actual play is the most important part. This disco ball of a UI is game breaking on at least a couple levels.

It's unbelievable. 12 hrs since "we'll investigate it". Meanwhile 10% of the player base is not only annoyed that they can't see certain cool downs, but having to stop or face a barf-bag.

You'd think that BioWare would leap into action considering that in their developer blog they said that they focus solely on issues they consider game-breaking. Well isn't a human's health kind of a game-breaking issue? Seriously, it's unbelievable and the fact that we can't have a decent customer service without talking to a droid that doesn't care about our problems doesn't help either. Can we forget about Ilum for a second and fix this bright flashing lights of death before it kills someone. Obviously, the only motivation they'll need to get off their butts and fix this is a big fat lawsuit from somebody who died from an epileptic seizure due to their UI.

Clova Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 If there ever was a true emergency for a hotfix, i think this is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyjedi Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) The previous GCD effect worked fine. This "new and improved" is not an improvement. Why did you waste time fixing something that wasn't broken and did what it was intended to do? Clearly the community is not happy with what you've done.. so change it back, please. Spend more time on fixing other actual issues. I'd love to be able to get the datacron in Alderaan that almost all my characters are too big to fit into the crack in the wall to get. Come on... did anyone actually test anything? Edited February 8, 2012 by Flyjedi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanscholo Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 While I appreciate the attempt to make it more obvious which spells were on cooldown, I feel the new effects are just making it harder to see which abilities are available. The flashing and washout effects obscure the visibility of the abilities, and the flashing occurs after it has come off cooldown (making it difficult to react quickly as you cannot quite tell if it is available or just part of the GCD flashing). All that was needed was to add a dark blue or reddish tinge to the abilities which were on cooldown, as the old GCD effect was sufficient and didn't obscure vision. Is anyone else not liking the new effect? /signed I completely agree. This needs revision. The GCD should not obscure the other buttons, it prevents you from moving from one button to another during the global unless you have cat like eyesight or you have memorised every buttons location. It just needs a tweak, make it brighter, more visible whilst retaining the unusable sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalFinality Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I've got it figured out. The UI is tweaked just in time for the re-release of Episode 1 It's a vast Lucas Conspiracy to boost movie sales! Actually the UI "Digital Remastering" was straight from George Lucas himself, bringing the UI closer to his "original vision" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessie Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I don't really understand why they would do this. You'd only get much use out of watching the global cooldown flash if you have ability queue turned completely off. Otherwise you'd want to press the button before the flash finishes. But I guess I'm okay as long as I avoid looking at my bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rygah Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 so im guessing the same team is working on the customizable UI as well? For fear of things getting worse than it already is, at the very least give us an option to toggle between the new style and the old. Because it seems no matter what you do you wont be able to please everyone. Having 2 or more options is probably the smartest thing you can do at this point, because this change is the "straw" for a lot of people. FWIW, I prefer the old style.

lefffen Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Please hotfix this! This "fix" was completely unnecessary and I can't stand playing when it is like this, it just gives me a headache having to watch that flashing light. I won't be doing anything that involves combat until this has been reverted back that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
