The second feature teaser focuses on a straightforward quality of life improvement: making special conditions on the player character more clearly visible by displaying them inside the game window. At the same time, you will gain control over which conditions are shown and how they are prioritised. This feature is therefore completely optional and can be customised according to your own needs.
The most important facts about the display of special conditions in the gaming window in a nutshell:
- Special condition icons appear vertically in a bar to the left of the health arc, based on its default size.
- This special conditions bar can be displayed independently, regardless of whether you are playing with arcs on or off.
- A maximum of six icons can be displayed, if more special conditions are active, this is indicated with a "..." icon.
- Icons are shown in top-to-bottom order, based on your settings.
- A dark backdrop ensures the icons stand out against game visuals.
- The arc opacity slider also affects the opacity of the icons and their backdrop.

Furthermore, you will be able to decide which special conditions show up in the status bar and/or game window and choose the order they appear in. These things can be adjusted under Options → Interface → HUD.
- All special conditions that can affect your character are listed with icon and name and two checkboxes (one for status bar and one for the HUD in the game window).
- Simply uncheck a box to hide that condition from the selected area (example: you can show the Protection Zone icon in the status bar, but hide it in the game window).
- Use arrow buttons to change the order of special conditions, just like sorting shortcuts. The same order applies to both the status bar and the game window.
- The special conditions for Resting Area, High Risk, Rotten Blood, and Mana Shield are each grouped under a single checkbox in the options.
- This feature is enabled by default for new client versions.

Hopefully, the fresh display of special conditions will be of value for you in many battles and enhance your overall gaming experience!
