Revert "Skill pinging"

"I'm listening Anthem of Flame!"
"My stance is Flail"
Etc.
Etc.

Do you hate these? - Yep, me too.
Make an TOGGLE option what changes those back, like "I have Anthem of Flame on me!"
With toggle option everyone will be happy.

I dont care. I prefer anet to focus on something way better.

Like you these things annoy me as they just sound so, different. I know A-net has better stuff to work on but i would love it if this was reverted.

this is waaaaaay down on my list for anet to give a crap about. I understand how it can annoy some but this way it lets people know shouts,enchants etc I think anet was doing the school house rock idea of "Knowledge is Power!"

~the rat~

It makes more sense to say "My stance if Flail!" rather than "I have Flail on me!" I mean come on..

pretty much sums it up.

I hated the previous.

That's why I suggested the new ones in some forums.

Don't you loe whn the good suggestions take place?

I love it.

I liked the old one, if only because my derv could say "I have Grenth's Fingers on me!"

That old perv.

I have Crippled on me!

For the win, /signed

I too prefered the old system.

Anet has much better things to do with their time. This "Skill Pinging" isn't technically broken, as it doesn't affect the game in a negative way. Let Anet work on things that actually need fixing.

if they have better things to do, like bug fixes for instance and sorting out the microing system for heroes, why did they impliment this in the first place?

It was easier, quicker and bug-safer.

They could implement a toggle option in the F11 menu to switch between the two modes.

i agree with this, then everyone is happy

Toggle ftw!
While the new system makes more sense and is much easier to understand for new players who don't know all effect names yet, it's been 3 years of "I have Frenzy on me" so old players really got used to it. And the old thing was far easier to read during combat, much more clear, distinguishable from other stuff on chat.
If I had the option I would switch back, at least for pvp.

You'll get used to it, and then you'll probably like the game just the way it is..

They sound much more natural now, actually.

Does it really matter? No matter what it says, it tells you what stance/enchantment/hex/condition/whatever you have on. I could care less if it said a funny wuzzy bunny dazed me, as long as it says I'm dazed.

Because "I have Frenzy on me!" made so much sense.

/notsigned, these new descriptions are much better.
