Title says it all. I was appalled when it was implemented, what, 1-2 years ago? And then when I realized it wasn't a toggle-able feature I was astounded.
Now I'm back after a year+ long hiatus and it's STILL not toggle-able?
What exactly were the devs thinking? I understand that it is helpful in terms of pvp, being able to see someone is blocking without really putting in any effort..
But why should we be rewarding those who participate in a low-effort playstyle? Why are you forcing the handicap on players that were 100% fine with the game as it was?
Im not saying you should do away with it entirely, but it is honestly unsightly, unnecessary and needs to be OPTIONAL.

Unfortunately for you, that's not your call.

It show blocking and could be toggable per user, so you don't see it but the others do

If you can't tell when your blocking or someone else is blocking, then seeing the block indicator is far down on the list of things you need to be successful in this game.Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

Umm okay pal, what do you think I came to the mechanics forum too make a suggestion?
They clearly dropped the ball A) whent hey implemented this; and B ) when they failed to realize a large majority of the playerbase would be turned off by such a projection, and they did not make it optional.
As other players have pointed out, im not saying that anyone whose blind enopugh to need it should lose it; When I say I want to toggle it, I merely mean that I do not want to not see it; if everyone else sees me doing it? Well I could care less.
But quite frankly it is an eyesore.Edited by Twenty0zTsunami on January 28, 2018 7:48PM2
