    Default Consolidated buffs icon please.

    Please add consolidated buffs icon to buffs. For things 1h+ duration it would make so much sense. The guild buffs give a massive list of things noone can give track of. Just consolidate longer ones into one icon. Pretty please. Even more importantly please allow us to some way to customize the buff bar. Im sure many people have their own taste to how things should be presented to them in game. I would like some bring out some buffs to be more visible if I have them on me (example heroic companion biuff oor action boosts from other players and so on). Single long bar makes it really really annoying. For example when you group with someone with auras (bard, warlock, paladin for example) their aura is a buff with 6 second tick so it refreshes every 6 sec which in turn means if i have an aciton boosyt or temporary buff during casting i see the location on screen dependant on duration: aura - action boost - longer buffs. But once i have 5 second left of aciton boost and the aura gets recast the order changes and thus it messes up the view. Game has been out for so long that some customization to buff UI would be in order.

    Yes. I would pay for this. Having all of those 1,001 icons at the top of the screen can get very annoying, sometimes. I don't need to know that my ship buffs have 4:30 hours left on them; I get more every time I go on the ship. I nice, single icon that you can mouse over and see all your buffs would be much appreciated. Active buffs (blur, death ward, greater heroism, etc) can go to the top of the screen so they can be kept track of without the airship buffs in the way.

    You can see your buffs if you examine your toon whats the need for the buff bar maybe just a Buff Timer

    Quite a few games out there do this, the only one that comes to mind first would be "World of Warcraft" It definitely makes looking at the buff UI more tolerable. However, the buff UI is still manageable. I personally get into a zone in which I can predict when certain buffs are nearly gone. If you play a toon long enough, you get to know when your buffs are almost gone. That being said, tolerating something doesn't mean that the lack of a better UI is good. If they updated this UI to be more easy on the eyes it would definitely be appreciated. Also, this is not the only UI that needs updating. The TR bank also has been asked by players to be updated, the LFM posting function needs to have a search bar in order to find quests more easily, and more. There are quite a few things that need to be done with ddo, not just UI updates. They also need to fix the unstable servers, continue to add new content, balance the game, and more.

    That all being said, I am sure that the UI is of least importance honestly.

    I think it would be cool for a "buff icon", either an icon on the buff bar, or my preference - an icon on my characters HP/SP bar that I can hover over. This would bring up a list of buffs automatically (so one does not have to select the character to examine and then examine them. Then certain buffs (i.e. ship buffs, loot gems) do not show up on the buff bar. Just hover the mouse over the buff icon.

    Maybe this little icon would sit just above the green voice icon.
