Guild Wars 2

These flashes starting to “kitten” me off.

Huh, you double tapping f1?

log in and u will see

The flashing was unnecessary… BUT… they work if you drop out of shroud… no more 1 second lockout from utilities. So I’d rather have them flash than not working at all.

Did something just start happening today? I didn’t notice anything weird yesterday

please remove this for kitten’s sake…

Someone care to share? At work still and am curious.

If you flash out of DS your 6 to 0 skills all flash as if they were coming off cooldown simultaneously. Only…cooldowns dont flash like that in this game. Not that i know of anyway. So where did this mysterious flash start coming from?

Does it impact the skills other than to be visually jarring?

Nope and its not even that jarring with most of the taxing/faffing bad effect options turned off, tho, as all problems with the engine and coding, it should be fixed.

Yea I’ve been wxperiencing that since yesterday…

Apparently this feature isn’t exclusive to the necromancer.
I’ve seen the same on different characters when picking up event items that lock out certain skills. When you drop the item or come out of DS the game basically tells you: look! you’ve unlocked new skills!

I don’t really mind it. It’s slightly annoying, but I got used to it in about 30 minutes. It actually helps me contrasts what’s on CD a little quicker as well. I don’t really mind it either way.

This is terribly distracting in WvW. For those of us who have our graphics turned down, a flash of white signifies a number of different things, like blasting waterfields or light fields, some guardian skills. There is simply too much to keep track of in a zerg fight to have yet another flash of white show up. And not knowing your utility cooldowns for a split second is very irritating. Anet PLEASE reverse this. All the necros in my guild agree after fighting last night that this is distracting and irritating.
