A small suggestion for the UI

BigManOnCampus · 05-29-2010, 07:10 PM

Can we have the option of moving failure notifications (you can't cast that you are dizzy, You are out of mana, etc..etc..) to the log? Putting the notifications in 2 different places may help some people depending on their focus, but I think it would be nice to be able to move those things to the log where I'm usually watching to see what's hitting me. It also might be nice to review when I was stupid and didn't account for mana/dizzy, as of now I can't tell that from the log.

Edit: Also, I've always wanted the option to be able to save the Logs/chats to file. Throw in some time-stamps and a resourceful player can find out a lot about combat.

Personally i would rather have an effect similar to the GCD, where a dizzy would cause those spells to be on a global "cooldown" as long as the dizzy is in effect, shown by the icon slowly being filled to its ready state and back to normal when the dizzy ends.

Because sometimes its heck and i hate looking at those little icons (my eyes are not very good!) for what particular dizzy im under, so i find myself sometimes fumbling around not aware im confused or dizzied (mostly because of graphics settings or sometimes chaos of battle)

i would also love this with the spell conjfuse..confuse i mean, id love to see almost every single conj spell in cooldown state

, aside from beetle swarm..which barbs cry about enough as is to get nerfed next..I fear what may come.

if thats too much trouble, yes id like it in the log too, as i review them alot to see just how many hunters pack confuse (and say they dont use it..its unfair..yet why the hell did you hit me with it? lol) and just general stat comparison and such, so it would be helpful.
I would like a global dizzy effect too for all spells, same with all stuns and knocks (im sure alot are the same but a few have odd animations or hardly visible effects)

I love this idea! +1!

I would also like it in the logs, for the benefit of smart players who use the logs to improve their game. I usually don't think of that.

In a more general manner, it would be nice to have spells you can't cast for some reason greyed out:
- when no enough mana to cast a particular spell (no cooldown)
- when under debuff (dizzy, confuse, knock, stun fist, ...) (with GCD-like cooldown as proposed)

Being able to save logs to file on demand with timestamp would be a nice improvement, especially for debugging issues afterwards.
