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...

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

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.

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?

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.

Fixed a bug that affected various sign posts and redirectors in the Eye of the North, Sifhalla, Olafstead, and Gunner's Hold [sic].
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.
