Patch Notes 1.2: Legacy
The highly anticipated Game Update 1.2, Legacy, has finally arrived. See the patch notes for the huge amount of changes that await in game.
Changes to Global Cooldown UI coming
After several sets of changes to the global cooldown effect on players’ action bars, each met with negative feedback, BioWare will be implementing a new feature to address this issue. Instead of continuing to make changes and hoping players take to it kindly, players will soon be able to choose which global cooldown effect they prefer to use in their in-game settings.
There will be several options (shown above) that players can choose from to customize this part of their UI:
Show Ready Flash: This option, when selected, will show the bright flash when an ability finishes cooldown.
Show Global Cooldown Ready Flash: This option, when selected, will show the bright flash when an ability finishes its global cooldown.
Show Cooldown Text: This option, when selected, will show the time remaining on a cooldown as an overlay on the ability icon.
Cooldown/Global Cooldown Style: This option allows you to select from four different art styles for the cooldown and global cooldown graphics. The tooltip for this option explains what the different styles look like (see screen below).
Cooldown Text Size: This option adjusts the font size of the cooldown text that’s used as an overlay on the ability icon.
Show Tenths of a Second: This option adjusts the threshold for when the game starts to show tenths of a second on the cooldown overlay text.
These changes should be implemented in patch 1.1.4.
