Guild Wars 2

I would like to suggest that the Initiative diamonds slowly fill up instead of appear, so that one could better manage their usage.

I actually wouldn’t mind that. Not a needed update, but a useful one.

They’re pretty small.. I’m not sure I’d notice them filling up unless I staired right at them. Be more useful to just have a timer in the corner of the screen that counted up to 10seconds repeatedly.

I rather have ONE BIG DIAMOND with a BIG NUMBER INSIDE IT telling me how much initiative I have left.

This would work fine for the most part but what about thieves who are spec’d to regenerate more than one point of initiative at a time? Atherakhia’s idea about a timer would work better in that case.

I think the current one is pretty fine as it is.

1/2 bar = x1 C&D, x1 Infiltrator’s Arrow
3/5 bar = BP + HSx3
etc.

Nothing more to it, no numbers to read, no halved diamonds to get confused about.

I think though, they should add more options to customization of the UI,
like increasing the size or moving things, like these diamonds, conditions, boons etc.

I think the OP was looking for a way to know when your next batch of initiative points will regenerate but I could be wrong. I’ve had times when I did not have enough initiative to perform an urgent move and it would seem like an eternity before I finally did. Knowing when I would won’t speed things up any but at least I would know.

Timer doesn’t work for me since the only number I’m interested in is whether I can or cannot use a skill or a combo of skills.

The current diamonds doesn’t allow me to distinguish between 5-init and 7-init (they’re just too tiny) and leads me to miscalculate a lot of times especially during a heated fight.

I can scale my UI but that will limit my visibility.
