Hi guys can we please get some kind of feedback on this, even if its just to say the thread has been noticed.
If the new blocking visual does go live it really would be very appreciated if we could at least have a toggle for it so that those who like it can keep it and those of us who don't can turn it off.(EU/AD) CP501 Razum-dah - Khajiiti Templar Healer

✭✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!We need a toggle for this as well as the various glowy VFX that indicate buffs/debuffs. That way those that want it can have it without forcing it upon everyone.
And yes, a dev answer would be much appreciated.Edited by Kendaric on May 23, 2016 7:43PM1 -

Hi guys can we please for the love of god get some response to these threads which have thus far been ignored? Many people have voiced their issues with the new blocking visual which was neither needed nor, judging by the number of comments regarding it since PTS, wanted. So many visuals have been altered since launch, like wall of elements and inner light to name but two, to cut down on visual clutter or whatever and then we get something like this which actually serves no purpose. Here are just a few threads below that I've gathered regarding it.
It is beyond frustrating when we see posts made a day or two ago getting responses, yet posts from before dark brotherhood went live remain as yet unanswered despite numerous polite attempts to garner some sort of a response

yup, I think most people would appreciate a toggle for it. I know I for one certainly would as for me it serves no useful purpose other than to be a source of visual irritation (EU/AD) CP501 Razum-dah - Khajiiti Templar Healer

No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!Agree, still want a response and really frustrated by this change still. At the very least, it should have been disabled in first-person mode, which is how it was in the initial DB PTS (at least from my testing, unless it wasn't showing up for me as bug). They then explicitly added it to the first-person view for... God knows what reason.
In first person it doesn't just kill immersion, it actively makes playing the game in first person harder. It's a giant glowing complicated pattern that conveys no information and covers up the ground, which is where you need to look to see red circles of death. Seeing these was already problematic in first person, and now it's even worse.
Please ZOS, if you don't have the time to code in a toggle, at the very least revert this for not showing up in first person as it was in DB 2.4.0.0 -
Stoltverd✭✭✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!ZOS won't answer. I've sent support tickets, private messages, emails, threads, in game feedback. Tried to reach out in zone chat. Etc.
Not only about the block indicator but also about the bow heavy attack indicator.
They simply don't care.Edited by Stoltverd on June 14, 2016 4:01AM0 -

That is why we want a toggle. That way, if you have it toggled on, it will be visible for you while I, prefering an immersive game, would toggle it off.
It's the best of both worlds. No need to force fugly Vfx on people....1 -
Stoltverd✭✭✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!I really don't see the ponit of having it everywhere at all times. I can only see it being useful in PvP and maybe in dungeons so others can yell at idiots. And in that case well... It would only be useful ON OTHERS.0
