KiLoSphere Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 (edited) Its a simple HUD icon that shows you how long a skill will be up for. Like a count down timer. Vauban's bastille stays up for say 15 sec. and goes down while your fighting high wave defence, now your pod goes down and mission failed after 1 hit. Same goes for Frost Prime. This is just one example.This same HUD timer can be used on all Warframes with timed skills. Just a few examples: Loki: InvisibleRhino: RoarBanchee: SonorVauban: Bastille, Tesla Frost Prime: Globe Ember: Overhear, World on fire Mag: Bullet Attractor Volt: Speed Its not a huge issue but more of a convenience.

Omegarick Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Would be very, very useful though. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yanga Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Wouldn't it be called a Duration Timer and not a Cool Down? Since the ability is active and it counts its time up and running instead of making people wait to use it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. i made a post on this before in the UI feedback. i pretty much posted this kinda wished they did something like this This is a good idea for most skills and would be a fast easy start.

This is a good idea for most skills and would be a fast easy start. thanks, theres only one problem with this setup which can be easily fixed casting something like vauban's bastille. it would be hard to set up multiple duration timers. so i would assume it would just refresh the timer making you keep track on the other currently running bastille. which still would make it easier for me if they had this system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiLoSphere Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 I was going to mention that. There could always be a bar under the icon for multiple type skills. If you want to get even deeper.. multi energy colors to identify with the duration bars. But I just wanted to get this idea started. I am sure there is many improvements that could be added to this Duration Timer once its implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsukinoki Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 The idea would be much appreciated and I would love to see this in the game. Its nice to not have to guess how much longer say Rhinos Roar will be affecting the party and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiLoSphere Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 Exactly my point. :) something needs to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsukinoki Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 @KiLoSphereI would suggest you edit your title though, as when I first read it I was thinking "Great...another CD discussion".You should be able to change the title by clicked edit on the first post and then "Use Full Editor".Just a small tip that might get this idea looked at a bit more.

Tsukinoki Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 @KiLoSphereHopefully it gets the attention it deserves. This idea would make a solid addition to the game and would make some abilities much easier to manage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
