Guild Wars 2

Is there any way to turn this disgusting thing off ?
I really really really dislike the new icon and my Guardian becomes unplayable for me, and i cant find a way to turn it off.

I never understand why such “improvements” are NOT optional and always enforced on everybody. Not everybody likes what the devs like…

I hope you`re not planning on doing this with every condition there is in the game or maybe an icon for how much damage protection has blocked or maybe an icon for how much heal came from regeneration.

If “improvements” are being made to the game, please let me a choice to keep my crappy UI how it was !

Omg mimimi. I like it very much.

This notification is wonderful. Very glad they added it.

i like it too, at least you know it is a different damage and appreciate retaliation even more, like confusion… the condition damage already appears differently from direct damage so it doesn’t need any icon

It needs to be smaller.

I love it. This is a huge improvement, and I can finally see when they take damage from it, so I know when to keep it up if enemies try to burst.

I like it. It looks like I’m being hit by a basketball every time that I hit someone with Retal.

It is crap & needs either options to kill it or just removing.
I have an asura that any time this stupid thing flashes up, it is larger then my character & is blocking things in front of me.

What a surprise, more unnecessary crap on the screen…

lol u mad?

Seriously though, I like the addition they made for retaliation. Makes it clear when it’s up and doing it’s job. I do agree that the fists seem to be a bit too big, so maybe just scale it down bit? I think the main reason it give off that impression is because it actually looks like like something (fists), as apposed to the blobs and blasts that critical hits and confusion does.

I thought my game was bugging out to start with haha, yes on Asura its too big, and kinda makes no sense, the flame and frost sonic turret ui (when you’ve been spotted) would have suited retaliation better.

So you’d rather not see the damage you’re doing?

Right.

I agree with OP. Can’t they just make the damage numbers orange? The floater contributes to the already unmanageable amounts of screen clutter.

They could alternatively make the Retal ‘floater’ a ‘sinker’. Rather than it appearing over your character model like it does now or float above your head like other condition floaters, it could originate near the legs and just kind of sink down.

Also, yeah, if it’s nearly as big as an Asura, it should be shrunk…just have the icon be smaller than the numbers but opaque.

nearly a month over and i still cant use my 3 lvl 80 main characters that have about 100% retaliation uptime (Guardian / Mesmer / Engi )

Not even one thing mentioned by developers that they will change it / we will be able to turn it off. THANKS
