Buff Appearance Updates

• Two new HUD channels added.
• Green buffs and red debuffs now have thicker lines for colorblind players.
• Subclass buffs and debuffs now more clearly show if they’re buff or debuff.
• Timers now shown next to buff icon.

Priorization

You’ll find buffs generally prioritized within all channels as follows:

• (Highest) activity information – These are buffs that guide your play in the activity. We want to make sure players always have this information available.
  • Note that dangerous or otherwise critical activity information will always be shown in the critical info channel.
• Second-to-second gameplay choices – These are buffs that are required to play your build effectively (such as Armor Charge) or ability cooldowns (like Tangle Cooldown).
• Short- to –medium-term gameplay choices – Subclass verbs (like Amplified), weapon damage buffs, or temporary ability bonuses such as those from Aspects and Fragments are prioritized this way.
• Passive buffs useful for learning or confirming intuition – Includes ability regeneration buffs and temporary stat boosting buffs.

Check out the TWID for more details.
