Am I only one who doesn’t like that huge ugly ground icon? Why there is no toggle to set it invisible for yourself/everyone?

I think it’s useful in combat, but it should be removed out of combat or it becomes too disrupting.

I dislike it because it’s always on even if you don’t have Glint Legend equipped. The way the elite spec is created seems to be pushing you to use the Elite spec utilities – something no other Elite spec has to contend with. Your F2 skill is even a Legendary Dragon ability.

IMO the F2 skill should have been thematic to the Herald – but not a Legendary Dragon ability. Perhaps an aura effect based on the current Legend.

Nope. It disappears when you switch legend.

It doesn’t if you upkeep the F2 passive. But I like it, only hope they remove the blue area, make it transparent.

It could do with being less invasive, perhaps show as it is now to other players who highlight you? If it’s that essential that other players know what upkeep skills you are maintaining

I still can’t understand why they made it so big and ugly colored and less transparent. During a boss fight or anything where there’s ground effects, it will be a total mess and nobody can tell anything good from those icons.

If you really have to keep that kind of ground effect active and not being able to disable it, remove the inner circle since it’s pointless, the pulse effect really helps nobody. And make those buff icons a bit smaller and only appear in front of you, not in fixed positions around you, if you have it active so you don’t have to see the other icons while you don’t even have them active.

Or maybe those icons could be switched to small colored circles around you. Every buff skill would have different color, for example regeneration buff as green, fury buff red, swiftness buff yellow, might buff orange/black or something and protection buff blue. That way it would be a lot easier for everyone else not familiar with revenant buff icons to really tell what is going on.

between this and the hand thread, it would be nice if we got a “disable revenant effects out of combat” option like WoW has for Death Knight eyes and voice

An option to disable Revenant effects is the best solution. Everybody is pleased by it and nobody would complain.

I don’t like it. The way it moves with your character turning around…. Meh. I’d much prefer some kind of energy-ball aura-like stuff around your character instead. Would be much more fitting.

Arrange them similarly as the ground-targeted stuff. I think this would fit the “real” world of the game much better while remaining cues to which stuff is activated at any given time, both for the player and foes.

Since glints skills are aktual signets…..why not a similar visual to all signet using classes?

Do i hear a uproar? Yeah, since the signets can be seen by anyone who targets you. Annoying pvp visuals……

If it isnt clear, i’m also for a reduced visual

Personally I find this center icon with additional icons on the side based on your active utilities, to be excessive “fluff” and unneeded info/graphic. Everything we need to know is indicated on our action bar and boon bar, and we already have nice visuals upon legend swapping and on our action bar. It feels odd having a large circle with pulsing color below our character (and potentially not fitting with our armor for those who Skin Wars 2), with additional icons that are barely visible when zoomed out. It takes away the focus from your character.

My proposal is to tone the colors down on the center icon, maybe keep the outer circle but remove the center mass – and potentially remove the additional icons that pops up based on active utilities.
But more importantly, what is your thought on the matter?

Sorry – I was referring to the fact that if you don’t use the Glint Legend you still get the whole huge thing just to use Facet of Nature.

My only trouble with it is the persistant blue background circle.
it should just be the glint symbol beneath you, there is no need for this permanent blue circle that just looks like a 2001-game-icon

Just make some toggle for it, current version is very intrusive and looks very flat and out of place.
Legend wrist particles look much better than it.

This is actually a good idea, but it would probl be to much work for them to implement in options. In any event I dont see how tuning down its color mass/make it more transparent would do any harm to those for it and those who are ok with its current version.

Would be nice to get an update on this, it’s the center circle effect that is terrible, it hides red circles and generally just looks bad when going vertically up or down while walking. It either needs to be completely removed (the icons that were at the edge remaining) or needs to be about 50 percent more transparent.

It looks nice to me and if I was playing the game purely on a casual basis then I probably wouldn’t mind it. However, its a bit intrusive when you actually want to pay attention to things that are happening around you and I would like the option to turn it off for those moments.

I have a feeling this will turn into an ordeal like the Engineers had with those hobosacks.

The fact its there doesn’t bother me, what does bother me, is that Glint’s…disk of eye-bleeding…is neon blue, glows and flashes, is HUGE and bugs out unless you are on perfectly flat ground.

I don’t mind profession graphics unless they detract from my character, which they do. I refuse to use Glint, because every time I toggle that metaphysical Ouija board on, my eye is instantly drawn to that disk, because it its the most saturate, shiny thing on the screen.

As an infographic, its not even that useful. The icons look nothing like the skills when they’re toggled on, and its impossible to see what ones are highlighted when you’re flashing and shadowstepping everywhere all the time.

Give my Revenant her aesthetic integrity back. I would actually pay real life money to have an option to remove this thing from my screen.
