Is anyone else having problem seeing the cooldown indicators on their powers? I'm fine with powers being on individual cooldowns ala ME1, but I don't like having to look in the bottom-right hand corner of the screen while I'm trying to aim and shoot. Would have been better if the developers could have created a multiple rings around the targeting reticle (think Apple Watch's Activity Rings) or a single ring split into thirds for each power.

I can't tell if this is s joke or not...but in case this is serious, there are cool down indicators near the aiming reticle. They're not rings, but they're little bars that appear on the left, right, or top of the reticle depending on which ability you used. |

I'm on console, so sitting further away from the screen. All the UI elements are so small! |

You should be able to adjust the UI scale in the options if you're having a hard time seeing things

yea not super obvious but lower left for "left" power; lower right for "right" power and top (12 o'clock) for your "middle" power are blue semi-circles around your targeting reticle

But yeah, I agree that the UI needs to be scaled up. I also play on console, but I also sit very close. Even then stuff like the ammo count can be hard to see. |

I'm on a 4K screen and that shit was plain as day. I can't imagine missing it on something smaller with larger font scale.

Now if only BioWare would add a timer to each skill icon so we know exactly how long the cooldown is in-game. Seeing a skill at halfway doesn't mean much when one has a base cooldown of 20 and the other skill is 10.
