Shortened skill descriptions

Ok just went ingame to see what happened.

I wonder how many hours they put into this?
It just seems plain stupid.

I might have supported this with skills that actually need this, like Mend Ailment, the skill removes a condition, theres no point to list ALL the conditions in the skill description.

But, this... ? Shortening skill descriptions that are already short and precise? No, no...

I dont mean to flame, but im quite disappointed with this. With limited resources (as we all guess is the case) they bug themselves with THIS, instead of working on real issues?

sigh...



PS that means ill use traditional...

Once again Anet wows its community with its ability to address its customers concerns...Sarcasm:dude its like the opposite..

Concise, because now the skills have gaming card template which I'm used to.

Concise, less useless skill descriptions on my screen.

So what it toggle so if it was Concise Toggle it off it displays longer version of the text so you can understand it better then sort it when you understand good enough. Me personally I like a change old stuff gets old fast and quick, so it change.

Concise here.

I'm sticking with traditional atm, but i'm probably gonna go for concise.

Reason being i know what practically every skill does by icon yet the occasional one that i dont i have to mouse over and spend like 5 seconds reading it to figure what it is when the enemy uses it lol.

Nice little feature though anet, cheers.

Concise for me.

concise

After two years, I know what most of the skills do without reading the description, so I really don't care either way.

Erm... is there something else been added to the skills?
Some of mine are showing a percentage rating on them.

ETA - is it a health sacrifice % for necros?

it is not gonna change anything of game playing, thats just me though.

......

Whats next? An option to view all skills in pig latin? Waste of an update.

Some descriptions are bad. For example, Icy Veins is listing the effect on death before the effect as soon as you cast it, you would think it would be in chronological order. I think they just did this to mess with our minds.

Traditional.

What do i win?

concise, because reading is too hard.

Concise, I like my UI open.

/dumb mode on

Me tink its nise idea.

/dumb mode off

Was about time. I once spent 3 days running around in circle because of those misleading posts. My wife even organized a search party. We had to eat minions in order to stay alive.

traditional > new one. pointless update. gg ANet.

Yeah, that's been for some time now.

Concise. Gives the needed information, with fewer words.
