Colouring Smart Cooldown

[Lord-of-the-Snipers 1,620]

Have been testing the Smart Cooldown on the test-server and I liked it, but it 's

not very user-friendly in my opinion.

 

In my view it 's too hard to see the difference between the dark grey and the light grey

in the new "supply-timers".

With that little difference you really have to focus on those new supply-timers which is bad.

You want and need to focus on the battle, not on the state of your supplies.

 

If you make the cooldown slice of the timer RED you could see from the corner of

your eye how far down that slice is.

That would IMO make the new system a lot easier to use.

 

In short:

 

1. If the supply is active: green  (this already works just fine, because it is clear!)

 

2. How far is the cooldown?: just like it is now but instead of grey use RED  (or orange)

 

3. If the supply is inactive and ready to activate it is: grey

 

 

With this colouring it will be much easier to see if the RED has almost disapperared

So you can decide to reactivate that supply again or leave it inactive/grey.

Red is not a good color, something more mild is required, something like this or this...

Agree with it being more mild to the eye: hence the ^^^orange, but the blue would indeed be nice too.

 

In the end, anything is better than fifty shades of grey! ;)

 

 

Btw. it might actually happen, at least some visual change will be tested:
