lol, playerharassment.
Why is it so important to have a seriously underdeveloped game? Reading chat is a great gamingexperience?
It's just pure laziness (+ discriminatory towards people with impaired eyesight) to not add animation, sound/voice, and visual effects to events during the encounter and does nothing else than being a detriment to the quality of the game.
You have the chat and the NCU-window as an addition, so no.
The buff-timer should be visible in the world and the world should also indicate whats happening.
