What about people that have their icons stacked because of multiple of the same buff(like fulcrum shift)?

Always show the minimum duration greater than 0 OR show the icons beside one another instead of stacked.
Could have the one with the shortest remaining duration on top, counting down? That way you see when that one will end, then it cascades to the next shortest duration when the first runs out.
Though personally I'd love to have a countdown timer on the powers in my trays, too. I'd only ever -really- use it on long recharge powers (Tier 9s, Accolade powers, Mission or Pocket D Teleporter) but it'd be a nice QoL to know when I can use the power again.

... the problem with that, of course, being not knowing WHO (on a team with multiple buffers) has their buffs running out. >.> Other than, say, "I just applied that 10 seconds ago."
Of course, I think the OP is thinking more along the lines of self-buffs/tier9s like Elude as opposed to FF bubbles, FS and such.

You can tell that I am a soloer more than grouper but something can be done too about external buffs.
On yourself, external buffs could have the exact same timer as any other but something could be added on the toon giving the buff like adding icons under the teammate into the team window.

Well even if you don't know -who- applied the buff. You know you've got 10 seconds before Vengeance drops, or your force-bubbles. that's enough to know that you won't be able to tank the AV for much longer, since when they drop you become squooshy.
It's not -as- important as when your Tier 9 is going to collapse, but it's still awesome info to have.

If it's optional, sure. Some people don't want or need the additional graphical/information processing overhead.
Arc 55669 - Tales of the PPD: One Hell of a Deal (video trailer)
Arc 64511 - The Wrecking Ball
Arc 1745 - The Trouble With Trimbles
Arc 302901 - HappyCorpse
Honestly, I'm all for this as long as we can choose what information to show. You answered my concern sufficiently(IMO). So /signed.
Also, /signed for Rachel's idea too.
Hi,
I would like to see a timer on the activated power's icons(not on the bar buttons but on the icons themselves). The flashing is really not enough
It would actualy improve the quality of powers that have a penalty upon crashing but the knowledge will also remove the need to continualy check the icons instead of the fight.
thanks
