Anyone else finding the floating text annoying and hard to read?

I am.. Ive got a few Ideas to bounce of everyones heads...

1. Increase the Float Text size.
2. Color the Max Duration fly text red, and make it larger.
3. Change the duration of the "Max Duration" text, so that is stay over the players head much longer then the +10 Seconds notification.
4. Any Way we could get our own Buff Notifications to appear as a system message? So that we can more easly monitor our own Buffs?

I believe in the next publish on TC now, that buff icons will appear instantly instead of when the buff applies at the end. So you'll be able to track all of this by hovering over the icon.

That would be nice and it will remove the uncertainty. Not sure I want the text any bigger or in different colours. The large purple xp text really annoys me and is hardly Star Warsy in style.

I certainly don't want it any bigger, its annoying as it is already.
They should just make it System Messages again, or at least give us the option to decide ourselves if we want floating text or system messages.

In publish 24 patrons recieve system messages for +10 minutes and Max Duration (although the +10 continue after the Max is reached as the buff continues to top up).

One of my hugest pet peeves with this pub! The +10 min is tiny. It's no longer a system message.

And the combat XP big purple flyovers, not system messages is ugh as well... plus when in group you can't turn off the option to see EVERYONE'S combat hits/misses, etc. UGH UGH UGH.

Hope pub 24 addresses this.

I just miss the "Max Duration" message a whole lot. But yeah I think they are changing this next patch.

If they are going to be put back into the System messages then that better by far...
