So far i like the look of these changes and i'm really looking forward to it. I think it is great that we will now have more options to set it in a way that fit us.

However i am somewhat disappointed with the fact, that this will not be in before 1.1.4 - this concidering the people getting physically ill from the current UI. There are people who are not able to play the game as it looks today, and I could definitely live with an extra downtime to implement the changes sooner (like you've done with the PVP fixes), just to make sure that those getting sick, wouldnt have to wait.

Thank you guys, I'm really happy to see that you listen to community. There are not a lot of games where developers listen to community and put in stuff we like... Now off to work on space combat! Can't wait to get more

Well Done, Really love the CD timer on the actually ability Bar Icon. Saves the mouse over effort (which sounds silly...) but its a time saver.

Also, Go Gunslingers.

Looks like it'll probably be an improvement that'd make the game playable for me again, although obviously I'll reserve judgement until I see it on PTR.

An option to completely disable or change the opacity of the GCD line would be extremely nice.

Even on dark/dark it's quite a forthright effect, and one which is largely unnecessary extra information to process for those of us who're already used to subconsciously synchronising with a GCD. What information we choose to leave out of our personalised UI is as important to our information processing ability as what we include imo.

I suspect being able to turn off the flash + dark overlay effects will be enough that the rapid contrast changing no longer affects me personally though. The more I've thought about it, the more I've grown reasonably confident that it was regularly glancing over the rapid & constant light/dark contrast changes that was bothering me.

Oh, and I'm particularly pleased to be getting numerical ability CDs. Hopefully we'll be able to look forward to something similar for buffs/debuffs in the near future too?

GJ tho, wish it was quicker - two weeks of no swtor combat is boring lol - but I can see why it hasn't come out as quickly as I'd hoped.

Just want to say that this looks awesome and I can't wait until it's implemented

Obviously you'll never please everyone (and boy would the world be dull if we all agreed), but at least this way everyone has a number of choices, including leaving it how it is....
