Potential power bar visual bug - v28.0

It's a new design. Saw it in the deep dive video.

Please change the appearance of the special bars back to what it was pre update. It’s a pointless change that adds needless confusion as to how close you or the defender are to a full bar.

Interesting. It’s really there (just watched the video again). Has ever Kabam mentioned about it? I kinda prefer the older design. It used to be more cleaner, but go figure...

I haven't logged into the game yet, can someone screenshot a picture to show me what it looks like?

Nah. Just checked again. It’s really disturbing. It can’t be a new design.

They changed it? I genuinely haven't noticed.

Are you talking about the little bits at the end of each bar? I don't have that on the new update.

I don't think they would mention it since it's purely cosmetic. They never talk about cosmetic changes unless it's champion related. The menus have changed all the time in how they look and that's never mentioned.

Older one was more clean and understandable at a glance. This one is worse. Unless it’s there for a future feature I’d revert the change

What? It still changes color when you fill a bar. Green, orange and red.
He said appearance, not color, please read better

I know what he means. It's a triangle in the bottom left corner of the bar. It's cosmetic and doesn't change how the power bar works. You know you have a sp1 when it's green, a sp2 when it's orange and SP3 when it's red, not by some visual flair on the power bar.

I.... I don't have the triangle in the bar.... I'm on 28.0

You know exactly what he's talking about. Why play dumb?

I'm not playing dumb. There's not confusion with the visual change. The bar still changes color when reaching each level and that's how we identify what special we can activate, not some little corner flair.

honestly guys...what changed? is this a big troll job as it seems the same to me?

The only change I've noticed, because I'm actually trying to see what the issue is, is that the actual Special button now flashes when it's available? I don't know if I never noticed that before though....

No_oneuk

it looks the same to me. playing on my phone (updated) and ipad (not yet updated) and both are identical....

For once I'm happy to be on Android : I don't have that new bar, wouldn't have liked it...

I’m so confused. It looks fine.

Also, I don’t even have that

If you think just changing colors means something, then you obviously have never tried to control a fight. When you are trying to keep an opponent below one or two bars of power while fighting and looking at timers/buffs/debuffs and thinking about half a dozen different nodes, you need to see EXACTLY where that power level is out of the corner of your eye. Period.

You still can...

it’s really not that hard to see how much power you or your opponent has

It is kinda distracting lol. I wonder if they had a board meeting to come up with this one
