The display of seconds for power rechange must be optional

[temnix]

There is nothing more out-of-character and distracting than the exact count of seconds over power icons. I hate this change.

So turn them off.

It is optional.

 

Options Improvements

• Power recharge timers now default to on (Center).

  • The power tray timer defaults to shown for powers with an estimated recharge of longer than 15 seconds. This can be changed in the options menu, or a custom value may be set using the /recharge_timer_threshold command.

  • Icons of recharging powers no longer shrink when the recharge timer is enabled, to make them easier to see behind the number.

    • Veterans used to the old behavior can override this with /tray_always_shrink 1.

  • New settings added to control power tray animations and add more customization options (format options, color coding, opacity) for the recharge timer.

I couldn't find it in Options. Is it even there?

It's the "Power Recharge Timer" setting in the above graphic. If you keep clicking on the setting on the right ("longer than 15 seconds" etc.), it goes through a number of timer options until it eventually reaches a disabled or off setting. Took me a while to puzzle it out, too.

Done.

Someone should write a concise guide to this rather convoluted, highly configurable new feature. But then, listening to returning players howl about how it Doom! Dooooom! Doooooooooms! their luvva the game is so much fun...
