I hate this new blocking indicator

I know when I'm blocking. I don't need an ugly icon popping up in front of me to remind me.

Well, @ZOS_JessicaFolsom, the players have spoken -- the stupid block NEEDS to go! I hate it, everyone hates it. H A T E I T ! ! !7 -
WeaselGod✭✭✭Maybe if they actually read the posts. There's a pts thread that's like 6 pages long and half of them have the @ trying to get their attention that no one in the pts liked it but they completely ignored it. At the very least have it so you cab toggle it8 -

✭I'm surprised they didn't make this an option. For example it should have these in gameplay settings. Always show, show on enemies, or never show. Everyone would be happy. With most indicators being optional it made no sense for them to push this on us.11 -

Zeg0ta✭✭✭It's the worst thing ever.Just more crap to clutter the screen. We know when someone is blocking by looking at jeez Zos. It's ruined my mursion OMG!!!!!9 -

✭People want complain about the block animation.
That's a joke, the block animation exists as it does in this patch b wise if the animation prioritization they attempted last patch. Which was pulled before TG launch for several reasons not the least of which was problems with blocking .
If you hate the animation at least complain about the right thing it's the animation prioritization pass that got you this.
And for those that want a toggle;
It's an in game messaging issue for you and got her players to know what effects are working when as such until they sort it out I would prfer good messaging to poor messaging3 -
Mr.Hmm✭✭✭✭I hope ZoS will remove it... that blocking indicator is..... horrible...
I blocked just to check if they added it or not but damn.... it looked so horrible on my Nightblade that it embarrassed me.. I find it hard to play my Nightblade now..If I die tomorrow I do not want to think of the game I could of played today, therefor I will play whatever I want today while securing a future to play in as well.

Mr.Hmm✭✭✭✭They should change the blocking indicator to an Arcane Ward for Sorcerers and to a Light Barrier for Templars?If I die tomorrow I do not want to think of the game I could of played today, therefor I will play whatever I want today while securing a future to play in as well.

Agreed.
It's dreadful. Why was it implemented? Do they think people need their hands held to make sure they know when they're using block?
I would like to toggle it off.EU / NA / PC0 -
Kendaric✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭I hope they keep it. It looks fine.
That is why we want a toggle, to have options. Though I really hate it, I can see why people may want it while spending time in PvP or trials.
This also applies to the various buff/debuff VFX, let us toggle them off if we don't want them.1 -
Mordenkainen✭✭✭✭You want something that INDICATES someone is blocking?
Add Tower Shields, can't miss seeing those infront of you.
*cough*
But seriously.. that new animation is like.. why? It's not needed, whatever for did you add that? I remember seeing it when enemies block, that seemed to be of a little use at least, gives a larger point of attention to snap to in PvE/PvP to not use Wrecking Blow in thw wrong moment for example.
But having the one who blocks see it.. is just not needed.0 -

✭What is wrong with ZOS! This a TES game we want less crap on our screen.
I still after all this time cant even accept all immersion breaking enemy indicators.
"Sigh"3 -
Lokryn✭✭✭✭I don't understand the intent of this change. I'm holding down my right mouse button, I don't need a visual cue. This is a case of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."5 -
Nestor✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭I thought the whole idea of reducing lag was to remove the excess graphics on the screen. I would think that in PvP, this would exacerbate the problem. In PvE, does anyone really need an indicator that says, yes, your blocking right now.Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

Saltypretzels✭✭✭✭It does seem very unnecessary. It would be nice to get some kind of explanation.3 -
cote-bmsb16_ESO✭✭✭Yea the shield visual is very unappealing to the eye. It looks terrible when blocking with a staff or anything really. Its too large, its protruding.
Please ZOS add a toggle, make it way smaller and less intrusive or just take it away. ..Implementing more stuff that no one asked for. Yea lets add a big ugly shield in front of your cool weapons, armor or actual shield.1 -

✭In PvE, does anyone really need an indicator that says, yes, your blocking right now.
Well, it might help people see if/when their tank is blocking...
"WTF. That boss killed me and I was blocking"
"No you weren't mate".
"..."
*kick*
Although, whether this encourages more people to tank or not, remains to be seen...1 -
Xylphan✭✭✭✭I hope ZoS will remove it... that blocking indicator is..... horrible...
I'll bet you hamsters to handgrenades that in a soon to be released patch you'll be able to either customize or earn different shield indicators/effects.
And if they don't do that, then shame on you ZOS. Now shut up and take my money.

Agreed--we've had several rounds of PTS with negative feedback and still not even one response or acknowledgement, it just goes live. ZOS talks on and on about how this is an "online RPG" and "cinematic experience" and then totally kills that feeling with this stuff.
Give us the toggle.6
