Q:

Hello ArenaNet,

Would it be possible to implement an option to display mantra charges on top of the skill icons? My eyesight is pretty bad, so it can be a struggle for me to quickly determine how many charges I have left.

A rough example: http://i.imgur.com/eKHTNZ0.jpg

Regards,

Seems like a reasonable request. The only objection I can think of is that the mantra counters in the location you proposed could be confused with cooldown timers.

Not really, cooldowns make parts of a skill icon turn black. Either way they should come up with something to help people like the OP.

I agree – the numbers could be made bigger or some different way of displaying charges remaining.

I do not have any problems with it currently, but I can imagine very well of can be annoying with bad eyes. Therefore i support this:)

Arena Net can we please get a remark? Also OP you could possibly change the title to indicate what is going on better. Like “Change UI for those with poor eyesight?”

Apparently there is an ability in the graphic section of settings to increase the size of the entire interface. This may be a temporary fix. And this was not a remark from ANET but advice from another player.

They could increase the number size on the little icon. That wouldn’t be horrible. But yeah as said, interface size can be adjusted. My eyesight may not be poor but I still don’t use smallest size ui.
