Should the New Blocking Icon be on a Toggle?

Potenza✭✭✭✭✭No, I like it and so should everyone else. Player choice is bad!Your poll should have been just yes or no without your opinionated statements included - am for player choice however I don't see a problem with the shield.
Its an animation for a skill that you are using - just like every other skill it shows an animation.Edited by Potenza on June 22, 2016 5:55PM1 -
Stoltverd✭✭✭Yes, more customization is never a bad thing. Keep it turned on if you like it!It's not a skill.
And it already had an animation. You know... When your weapons are up, or your shield?3 -
MickeyBN✭✭✭✭Yes, more customization is never a bad thing. Keep it turned on if you like it!I hate it, it's ugly and unnecessary.
Players on PTS said they hated it, gets added anyway.
Players sign petition on forums to see it toggleable/removed, gets ignored.

✭✭Yes, more customization is never a bad thing. Keep it turned on if you like it!I should have chose 'No', because from what I see; People probably chose 'yes' because they either like to..- Watch their character blocking, rather than focusing on what's going on around them in combat.
- They play in first person mode.
- They spend way too much time blocking to be able to notice the icon enough to get annoyed over it.

It would look so much better.2 -

If you're for player choice, then there's one choice for you. The one that backs player choice while allowing you the option of using the new feature you like.
I'll repeat it again here. What reason is there to say 'no' to a toggle that is not either trolling or genuinely thinking that player choice is bad? It is NOT a matter of other players in PvP seeing it on you because that was already in the game and working fine.0 -

We are playing a medieval fantasy rpg and every time we block we get a f*#£n alien plasma shield project from our arms!...Vaelerys Nightborn - Bosmer Nightblade PC NA1 -
Stoltverd✭✭✭Yes, more customization is never a bad thing. Keep it turned on if you like it!Check the PTS patch notes...
They keep ignoring us. The patch notes for the NEXT DLC just ignores us!
Why the hell do they have a PTS and a forum for said PTS if the community is going to be ignored?1 -

MacCait✭✭✭✭✭
✭Yes, more customization is never a bad thing. Keep it turned on if you like it!Good post. I was actually going to create a post on this saying the same thing.
One of the cool things with dual wield was the look of blocking with two swords... thats gone now. Now we have this magical shield appear before us whenevr we block. In my opinion it just looks silly and takes away immersion.
I would never say get rid of it, but a toggle would be great! One thing I really like about this game are the variety of toggle options that lets you really enjoy the game the way YOU wish to. More toogle options would be cool! Also, I don't think its a huge problem to create a toggle like this.0 -

✭Yes, more customization is never a bad thing. Keep it turned on if you like it!I don't really care, but considering how many people don't seem to like it, I'm in full support of making it a toggle.Hey everyone! Look! It's a signature!0 -
Stoltverd✭✭✭Yes, more customization is never a bad thing. Keep it turned on if you like it!@ZOS_JessicaFolsom Could we PLEASE get some attention?0

SahrotRein✭✭✭✭Yes, more customization is never a bad thing. Keep it turned on if you like it!Being a DD, that ugly shield icon doesn't really come up that often for me but I still hate it a great deal. The only reason I see why would they put it in was that if we could see it on other people, why not on ourselves? That is the reasoning behind it for me. Such changes should always be a toggle.
Hell, I even got myself an add-on to toggle seeing other people's @AccountNames and those stupid head icons. Those simple, little things should be a toggle.Today we make our stand.

It should def be a choice, especially as so many peeps don't like it...0 -
idk✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭No, I like it and so should everyone else. Player choice is bad!First off I have not found the icon helpful or intrusive. Basically I could care less since I don't notice it when I'm tanking because I'm, well, focused on tanking and my group.
Second, while the polls in these forums are merely intended for entertainment value due to design, OP has taken it a step further with designing his poll in a heavily biased manner.

Stoltverd✭✭✭Yes, more customization is never a bad thing. Keep it turned on if you like it!
That's true...
But what else is there to do?
There are a lot of threads about this. The devs have ignored them all. There are here AND in the PTS.
Support tickets has been sent.
In game feedback has been sent.
In game chat has been used.
it's not like they gave us their numbers.0 -

Craziux✭✭✭Yes, more customization is never a bad thing. Keep it turned on if you like it!Zenimax, the shield indicator.. it's not a thing you would like to look at, even in third person, so still, after the latest update remove it or make it toggleable.
