SWL NEEDS YOU! To make the game even easier! (Yes I'm grumpy about the difficulty drop personally, but all that matters is MORE CONTENT!)

Currently Implemented:
Polaris Beginner

In Testing:
Polaris Beginner

Finished:
Nada, Zip, Zilch


Mod Goal:
It's a boss warning mod. Bosses do stuff and it tells you how to deal with it for the most part.

A Modular Mod:
Download the DPS / Tank / or Healer package and the advice the mod gives will tailor to your role.
Beginner, Intermediate, Expert versions. Beginner teaches, Expert gives out the info as least intrusively as possible.

In the following posts I will be giving you the EffectsUI code I am currently using. You can't quickly import the entire mod without overwriting all existing settings, so I am not even going to let you make that mistake. You'll have to configure the warnings as I state, cut and paste the text into your game if you want to help. I may make my google sheets spreadsheet available if there's interest so you can make direct modifications.

EVEN BETTER!
I will donate $5 to ExtraLife toward MadLyric and Jez's campaign in your name (alternating) for every LoMS member who helps me test it and posts here on the forums with bugs and thoughts. (I can't do it for all 400+ people though, I'll cap it at some point :p)

(Pending this being OK with the high-ups of LoMS. Miss Geary threatened me when I asked her, saying something about "What in the f*** do you think you're doing? If they can't hang with eldritch horrors and genetically engineered super soldiers, it's a win-win." I said "..." in response but I was thinking "I love you.")


 
Currently testing: POLARIS (BEGINNER MODULE - Just means more information)

Anything that is DIRECTLY meaningful to you in your role will be in CAPS.
Anything that is a somewhat high priority will be surrounded by one * on each side.
Anything that is VERY high priority will have two *'s on each side.
Anything that you NEED TO DO RIGHT NOW will look like !!STUN NOW!!

This looks most useful, and if they ever get around to addressing the crashing bugs in the base client, I will definitely install it and play around with it (at the moment my client crashes quite enough on its own, so I'm dubious about installing a mod that's been reported to cause crashing issues.)
 
*shouts into the void* As I transition in to a tank, it will be helpful to me at least, so I don't impair the wrong stuff.

If this mod gets developed (with the help from the EffectsUI author) I will keep going. It's very easy to write, easy to test, but hard to justify keeping it on for a lengthy playsession at the moment due to the performance degradation that you mention. I get that too.

I'm going to see if disabling certain visuals improves the performance degradation. If there are no new updated to the EffectsUI mod and we can't figure out how to display certain things like pop-ups, I'm afraid that this will be limited to just "STUN!" "RUN!" and ... "crash your machine"
 
It works really, really, well. It just doesn't play well with my system. *sadface* I've kept up development and will continue to do so in the hopes that either the client gets more stable or the mod, but as of now I can't even do an elite with effectsUI running ONLY the warnings. I'm running about a second behind what is actually happening.
 
Yep looks like someone beat me to it! I intend to have more functionality, but with EffectsUI drowning my system (which is a fairly beastly system, but has never run TSW or SWL well at all) I'm kinda halted in progress.
