I can't believe you went to all this trouble with the GCD when it was fine in the first place. It only got worse the more you messed with it.

This definitely looks like a major step in the right direction. I'll have to see if I can "see" what the cooldowns of things are despite the GCD, but at least the cooldown timer will help with that.

Would be nice if there was the ability to include a thin GCD bar above your hotkeys (or above your character along with the health and energy bars) or the ability to turn GCD visuals completely off if wanted.

Maybe you should do some research before making yourself look ignorant.

1.2 UI scalability and movement. /facepalm.

I agree. what was wrong with it before? I never even knew people had a problem with it (i mean clearly I was wrong, but still) What was the problem before anyway? At least this way I can put it back the way it was.

So in essence fantastic job bioware. and to think by reading these forums this game had already died in like 2005...6 years before release.

How about fixing that. Can you guys fix it so that you can only use the phrase "THIS GAME IS DEAD" or "DYING" or "ABOUT TO DIE" or any other similar derivative once and only once? If you try to post it twice you get like knocked down a level in-game or you get a one day suspension or something?

This game makes me happy.

oh yeah.....and make it so that hoods can go over masks for the love of pete.
Just remember what ol' Jack Burton does when the earth quakes, and the poison arrows fall from the sky, and the pillars of Heaven shake. Yeah, Jack Burton just looks that big ol' storm right square in the eye and he says, "Give me your best shot, pal. I can take it."

Excellent, another feature BioWare is putting money into that the modding community could be doing for free.

Well, i still have no need for my right side bar with any of my toons. the only one that is close to having 3 filled is my BH...but even if they were all full...GCD is not needed. Coming from eq2, which doesn't have a GCD and there are a lot more abilities...GCD is just a lazy way of doing combat mechanics imo...you can disagree all you want, thats fine. I just prefer no GCD.

No one cares? Troll please ****, obviously people care if BioWare is taking the time to fix the GCD in the first place. Including me, it was distracting and confusing. Im glad they actually take the time to listen to the community.
