    Concerning the new duration meters on conditions, hexes and whatnot...

    After joining a new guild (well, the boss guild of the alliance my now-defunct one was in), I'd mentioned the new duration meters on the condition bar or whatever it's called (it's usually in the top-left). An officer then said that he'd wished they were bigger so that they'd be visible on higher resolutions as right now, they're only - what - 2, maybe 3 pixels high? You'd probably have to squint to see them on a 1200 pixel high display.

    So how about giving us the option of adjusting the meters' sizes to make them more visible for those with... crazy-sized screens?

    And yes, I'm fully aware that the condition bar can be resized, but I'm on about the meters, not the condition icons.

    Never really tried, but sure. For the rest GW runs great on older systms so I think it's a bit of a shame if this is one of the few things to hold it back.

    Not quite sure what you mean there...

    Personally, I would of implemented the timers in the same way as skill recharge. The icon counts down the remaining time with darker section going clockwise.

    A teeny little bar only about 1 pixel thick is a bit tiny.

    Nice thinking. That would be easy to see and wouldnt need size adjustments for those running at higher res.

    I run at max resolution and I can see those bars fine. Though I do think allowing a choice between the bar and the dial effect would be very beneficial.

    i think it should show some sort of a timer if you hover your mouse over the effects

    At 1680x1050 things look fine to me. Changing the interface size doesn't seem to have an effect.
