Mechanical Acuity look changed...? PTS vs. Live

There's noticable difference between look of this proc on both servers (the same graphic settings):

Live:

PTS:

Does it mean that after Summerset will go Live, will we have this "blue frame" around screen everytime this set procs...?
If yes, this is really annoying.

    I’d kinda like that on my stam sorc. Hurricane makes it hard to tell when MA has procced, unless I’m specifically looking at my buffs.

    The frame is a nice addition, imo. It's fairly non intrusive, but it still gives an indicator.

    If you're stacked in a group with up to 11 other people, seeing any character-centric visual effect is not always so easy. Same goes for audible's.

    An optional (but unnecessary) checkbox setting would alleviate this on both sides, enabled by default.

    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    An option to enable/disable the effect would solve your situation.

    Seems nice. Previously I was rarely able to tell when it procced in combat without an addon.

    I'd rather it would just make you glow Gold instead of Blue, it would look much cooler and the colour blue is far overused in this game.

    For me, at least on Live, MA already has a fairly good proc indicator as far as I’m concerned. The edges of the screen go out of focus and your character turns semi-transparent. Even with Hurricane, I can easily tell when it procs. I don’t think we really need another visual indicator. As long as it does the job, that’s all I really care about.

    Weird, I have exact the same settings on PTS and Live (both on High), but only on PTS I have this weird blue frame.

    Oddly there used to be a bug where if you had shuffle used and the set proced, you couldn't see the purple effect around your toon.

    Not sure if this is still the case in pts.

    This is a good thing. I recently started to use the acuity addon, because it was hard to tell when the proc happened in stacked fights.

    More important to me: Will they nerf the set into oblivion next patch?

    Why does this set get special treatment? Will all proc sets that increase damage/etc get a similar treatment too? I demand BSW gets a nice fiery red frame border for when it procs! ;)

    Exactly. This was needed.

    If it is different from the blur on live I can get behind it.

    No changes yet on the PTS, but you never know with ZOS. There are so many BiS sets next patch for different classes. I really hope they don't kill diversity by killing MA.
