Do you want the new visual clue for blocking?

If you have played on the PTS you must have seen the new visual clue for blocking. It looks like this:

Do you want this thing to go live? Or do you also find it terribly ugly and immersion-breaking to have this weird shield thing come up whenever you block, no matter which weapon you are using? Feel free to explain your reasons.

✭✭✭✭✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!It's ugly. I want to turn it off.Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.
Meet my characters:Command: Do the thing.
Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.8 -

The animation on enemy players has been in the game since forever. The only thing changed is that this is now showing for your own character aswell.Edited by Derra on 10 May 2016 15:22<Noricum>

✭✭✭✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!I don't see reason of implementing this animation for char. If you block, you know that you block.7 -

✭✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!I want to disable it via toggle, along with several other visual cues/VFX (like the green glow from dodging or the glow around your arms/weapons from certain buffs ).2 -
Aleraon✭✭✭✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!I dislike it. As I said in my original post, it serves no purpose in pve other than to be visually annoying. NPC's won't be watching for it to see if I'm blocking and, if I'm blocking, I know when I'm doing so as I suspect do many other players.
I don't really need the game to treat me like I'm mentally challenged and slap a big perspex shield in front of my character whenever I block, as if to say "hey, guess what you're doing".
When so many other things in game actually NEED addressing it's just a pure and simple waste of development time. Sure some people may like it but, for those of us who do not, it should have the ability to be toggled off.(EU/AD) CP501 Razum-dah - Khajiiti Templar Healer

DerAlleinTiger✭✭✭✭✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!As a tank, PLEASE NO ZOS. Please NO. What in the name of Jone and Jode were you thinking?! That not only looks ugly, but it's also distracting for tanks in the middle of a fight that already has lighting effects flying everywhere!14 -

How is it profitable for the developers to invest time, energy, and resources into changes that 80% of people don't want? This has been happening quite a bit this patch.5 -
Bowser✭✭✭✭✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!I'm holding the block button and my character is holding up the weapon in a defensive posture, but I can't tell if I'm blocking or not so they better make that glowing shield bigger just to be safe. My middle finger could be broken or something and I wouldn't know that I'm not actually blocking.Edited by Bowser on 11 May 2016 02:222 -

Just to be safe we should add giant flashing red letters saying "BLOCKING" when you hold block. Because that's the only way I can be sure that I'm blocking.4 -

✭✭✭✭✭For my own character? No. For enemy players? Yes. Enemy NPCs already have this, so it makes sense to add it for enemy player's characters, but it doesn't need to show up for the player themselves.UESP: The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages - A collaborative source for all knowledge on the Elder Scrolls series since 1995
