StanTastic Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) I agree, the red text right in the middle of the screen really does suck and pulls away from being able to look at the field of battle. Got my vote, make it a ui box and let the user move it or keep it. Edited December 14, 2013 by StanTastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alec_Fortescue Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I don't really notice it. For real I am watching my quickbars, ahha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkMontie Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) I like to think of the Red Haze of text in the middle of my screen has Hard Mode The ability to disable red error text is very annoying for melee classes.

OM-AR Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 They should edit the fly text with the ability to toggle on or remove some of the red text errors like: Target not close enough Ability on cool down Not enough X resource I made my UI really small so that I can enjoy the game more. Plus the fact that I'd rather be staring at the main action than at the quicks bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knockerz Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Well I'm not color blind, but I gotten used to ignoring the red letters. It's almost as they don't exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
branmakmuffin Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Well I'm not color blind, but I gotten used to ignoring the red letters. It's almost as they don't exist. And as someone posted quite a ways back, if a player plays by some method other than rolling a tennis ball across their keyboard, they won't get the red text much at all.

kelvaen Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I think this is a PVP problem more than pve, as a juggernaut ill spam charge to try to get mine off before another leaper does to make sure I have unstoppable up when I engage. Everyone knows that people have different connection speeds, and who spams fastest will get theirs off first. I support the OP, the red text is stupid, and anyone that says they like it is just trolling to argue, its that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klarick Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Not trying to be rude, but this is a classic learn to play situation. Slow down on the button mashing. This isnt WoW. Slow down and pay attention to your GCDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xdancp Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Yes, it bothers me to no end. There is a thread about this in the suggestions forum from 05/2012 in which a dev posted and said they plan on fixing this. This was almost 2 years ago, still no fix. So I wouldn't get my hopes up.

teclado Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Does anyone else hate RED ERROR TEXT as much as me? Not really. It doesn't happen all that often for me. I think the feedback needs to be slightly annoying in order to (hopefully) convince the user to stop doing that thing that is annoying the system. You can't just beat on the system and not let it have feelings too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illgot Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 http://imgur.com/GZyIipe this is what I see on my JK when ever I am in a fight. Chasing people trying to hit them, trying to use my force push or leap ability, spamming my defensive and breaks. On my ranged classes I have less issues, but on my melee classes it is a nightmare, so much that I turn my UI off on most fights now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarfux Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) I think if it is THAT much of a hassle you are spamming way too much anyway for anything to be efficient. Then again, I never ever notice it. Edited February 10, 2014 by Sarfux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xdancp Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) I think if it is THAT much of a hassle you are spamming way too much anyway for anything to be efficient. Then again, I never ever notice it. It isn't a hassle at all in pve, but in pvp all I see is constant red error text, on my marauder at least. But that is because I am strafing around, watching whats going on the screen, and not staring at my cool down bars. Don't see how hard it would be to either add an option to disable it, or add it to the "customizable UI" so we can move/get rid of it. Especially since a dev said they are planning on addressing this issue, that was in 2012. Edited February 10, 2014 by Xdancp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the developers wouldn't lie about something like that. Just be patient, lots of things have priority over that and that frankly is a QoL feature. It will probably make it in the game at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drossious Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) It is annoying. When I play I find that I have to turn my screen so that the mob/player I am fighting is not in the center, particularly if I have to watch for visual cues like on the gate boss in DF. This affects all my characters, some more than others, laggy times more than lag free times. No offense to anyone intended, but if you don't see the red text you may not even be watching the action, because the only way to play at your best and watch the action (as opposed to the cooldowns) is to spam the buttons until the abilities cool down, and spam multiple buttons in the cases where you rely on abilities not tied to the global cool downs. As we all know, there is a minor lag between when something happens, we perceive something happening and when we are able to act on it. I guess unlike some of you people I like to watch what is happening on the screen, the graphics are part of the reason I play this game, if all I cared about was watching the cooldowns then why would I bother with playing one of the best graphical MMO's? The only way you don't notice the red text is if you are watching the cooldowns instead of the action -- and personally I don't like playing that way, at all. update: After reading the whole thread and several others posted by the OP I think I may just try to turn off my UI since all my abilities are bound to buttons (though I am concerned with how this will affect /rc and chat). I do not point and click on hardly any abilites. Neither do I use a macro program, so advise others have posted on changing the macro delay does not apply. Having read much on the issue I have noticed that people with the most issues also have a robust key bind setup, and those without the issue point and click, though I am sure that is an oversimplification.

Halinalle Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 and if you don't see the red text you are a poor player or not even watching the action, because the only way to play at your best and watch he action (as opposed to the cooldowns) is to spam the buttons until the abilities cool down, cause as we all know there is a minor lag between when we perceive something and when we are able to act on it. I'm almost always watching the action just because if I look at quickbars/resource bar the enemy has a chance to escape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine never gets that bad. I only start spamming the next ability when it gets close to the end of the 1.5s GCD. Also, how come you guys are not letting the wookie win?
