Blinking Lights are a No No (unit bar feature 1.3)

Question

This game is incredible good but is almost unplayable with a new feature added in 1.3.&nbsp;&nbsp;When your units are available for deployment, the game tells you by flashing the unit bar with an obnoxious blinking light.&nbsp;&nbsp;This feature has no place in a competitive RTS environment. I don’t want anything distracting me from the battlefield and the game should not be telling me how to play or what to do.&nbsp;&nbsp;There are times I want to wait an extra couple seconds to save up for a titan and not deploy units. I don’t need the game telling me to make units! I don’t care! It’s not even subtle.&nbsp;&nbsp;However upon reflection, making units when available is extremely important. Perhaps a dialogue like “Units ready for deployment” would be appropriate.&nbsp;

Hi guys,

Thanks for your feedback on the blinking command bar. We're looking into how it's working and may make changes to tone it down a bit 🙂

Well - there's both the hearing impaired and, also, people like me who don't play with sound 99% of the time.

That being said it's a little distracting - i'd rather a more faded look for units that aren't available and maybe a single pop as they become available - rather then the constant flashing.
