This thread isn't about the 1 second it takes for skills on your personal bar to show their icon. This thread is about the 1 second it takes for icons to appear when you're watching others cast, and that 1 second vital. |
Interrupting is almost impossbile now. What am I interrupting - hourglasses or skills? WTF?

Hmm... I wonder if it's due to the profession-changing monsters? Maybe the system before had pre-defined skillsets for each NPC, with the icons already there. But when you run into something that can change it's profession, and thus it's skills, on the fly, they hit a snag with how the pre-loading was done, so implemented the hourglass thingies.
All speculation, of course. Either way - /signed fix it! fix it! fix it!

Not a problem for those with new and fast systems, but for the players with slightly more dated technology, they may not be able to tell what is casting or what hexes/enchantments/conditions are on them for the first few seconds while the icon loads. While those few seconds may seem insignificant at first glance, that's all the time it takes to be flattened in PvP and some areas of PvE

I'm not going to sign this simply because I'm sure Anet is aware of the problem and working on fixing it.

reading phrases takes more time than looking at a picture and interrupting requires quick reflexes.

Absolutey, unequivocally, and fully.
Want to know why??
If 'this' had happened back in the days when I used to play EQ (origonal Everquest, not the sequel), you can be damn sure Verant would of seen that head's rolled over it. THAT DAY. People fired, or disciplined... or given a stern talking to out-back behind the bins, whatever, and it FIXED immediately. Its been almost (or over?) a week now aswell, and there is no excuse for this not being rectified... if you know anything about coding, you know that this is childsplay stuff in terms of difficulty, all UI coding *is*, packet orientated modifications to the datastream for such information, likewise. Its not exactly as if they need to reinvent the wheel, and rewrite the entire C++ coding language. No excuses, whatsoever.
I have another theory, and you might not like it. Since there is no way this -can't- of been fixed... and day's ago... and ANet and Archangel Gray are keeping ominously quiet about it, I think the hour-glasses are here to stay.
So, to alot of you : i'd start thinking about signing this petition now, or you might be kicking yourself in a week or so.

PS: It's probably 'nonsensical' to you (even though it is perfectly error-free both grammatically, and symantically) since i guess you're a retarded moron :P

Nice try man. The old backpeddle.
Don't think its gonna work... all the last 4 odd posts are completely off topic, flame orientated... and most importantly : started by you.
