'if i wanted to play WOW, i would be now'

I think it is a good idea, but what will happen when you have 10 things to monitor, the bar looks like it could only handle like 3 boxes. Will it expand out? It will take a bit to learn and memorize what they all mean, so you know what youre bein hit with or have been hit with. Say someone who is a mage, may not notice what the icons stand for. Know what I mean?

I've gotten used to it... haven't been out stabbing people lately though, so I haven't had a chance to test it in PvP... perhaps the tonite since the Orcs have returned to Siege! *cheers* Plenty of opportunities to test it with everyone visiting the Orc fort tonite.

I hate the new interface...

The HP of targets lag, you only attack what you have targetted, theres so much on screen that it's cluttered.

If you see a Red icon flash up you know its something to pay attention to.

the rough idea was...

Red: attached to all the 'debuffs, bad and harmful things - your basic warning color so if your in the middle of a really heated action - you'll more likely take notice.

Blue: Mostly Combat bonus related type buff + to hit, or dam increases etc.

Green: health and bodiy related things - healing, invisibility, Polymorph

And of course the best feature i really wanted us to have - the blue "Disable" button where you can toggle it off on your Character Stats if ya just don't want any part of it.

And still - for those of you with poor monitors or some of the fellas who are colorblind - there are the icons themselves still there- so you'll be able to stillspot a Mana Leech or Poison a mile away. Well - easier to spot than it was before anyway - with how the old tiny heath numbers would show before.

So that's how you turn it off.. Hehe, I have just been right clicking it everytime it reappears. However I love that you guys fixed the highlighting yellow, you really don't know how annoying that was! Thank you! (Almost as annoying as people trailing across the screen from last fall.)

Hmm- well with the BUff /Debuff set up - its designed so you can rotate the direction the icons will sort of go out in. up down left or right - and you can move it to where ever you'd like it. As spells and things effect you - the icons pop up and go in a line out from it in the direction you set. Eventually the bar does a wrap around and comes back to make another row.

I'm not so worried about too many buff/debuff icons appearing across the screen - becasue lets face it - if 30 poision and curse spells suddenly dump on you at one time - heh - you won't be alive long enough to worry about them filling up a small portion of your screen. :grin: :grin: :grin:

Again - the good thing is if anyone doesn't want there alerts - well you just click the little blue button on the top side of the Status sheet - and 'blip' buff/debuff is hidden.
