Poll: What do you think about the new changes made to global cooldown UI in 1.1.2?

(Very little feedback was received on the PTS Forum before the patch was deployed to the live servers, otherwise changes may have been made before the patch's deployment.)

.

You can try to lump everyone into my post, or you can logical deduce that I wasn't generalizing the entire TOR population that doesn't like the change (myself included).


And no, my "theory" is not guessing, it's based upon what the CM just stated:



To think he is lying is to generate a conspiracy theory. It is only logical to assume that if the CM of BioWare for TOR says that changes are coming, that they are doing what they are claiming they are doing.

The state of any given button should fall within these four categories:


NOT ENOUGH RESOURCE / OUT OF RANGE

The icon is darkened.


READY TO USE AND WITHIN RANGE

The icon is at 100% brightness.


ABILITY IS ON COOLDOWN

A numerical counter is laid over the icon, indicating how many seconds are left until the ability is off CD.


GLOBAL COOLDOWN IS IN EFFECT

A vertical descending shadow effect is laid over the icon, except for abilities that ignore GCD.



I really don't understand why the GCD effect is given such visual prominence, considering it's always in effect after a skill is executed, and it's always going to last 1.5 seconds. It's one thing to count the seconds left on a skill with a 9-second cooldown when you have other skills on similarly long cooldowns, but a 1.5 delay that is almost always applicable really shouldn't be that hard to count in your head, especially when most people have a .5 second buffer anyway.

That is incorrect. I said shut down the servers once a new patch is ready to be deployed. People in this thread and the other major thread before it have stated many times that Bioware should shut the servers down. That serves no purpose if a solution isn't available yet.

Just because the servers are still up doesn't mean they aren't trying to fix it.

The only time you should bring down servers prior to a solution being implemented is to stop game-exploits that could break the game in major ways.

They also said they were fixing the UI.. they broke it for a great many of us.. I trust what Is not what some one says will be. If it was the other way around in real life I could tell bioware "I will pay you at some point until then just leave my sub active and trust you'll get paid."
