Quality of life idea: Visual indicator for proc (short for procedure [?]) cooldown.
Realm of the Mad God has changed a lot since this idea was implemented perfectly. One notable change in particular was the introduction of secondary functions for equipment, also known as “proc.” For example, the Water Dragon Silk Robe heals the player whenever they use their ability. Some armors give invincibility, some rings reduce mana cost or apply speedy, and much more. What all of these items have in common is a cooldown, somewhere between 3 seconds and 240 seconds for each equipment. This is implemented in order to prevent spamming of the procs.
I think it would be nice if there was some sort of visual (or aural) indicator that shows the player if their proc is ready to use. There is already a visual indicator on abilities that have a cooldown. I think this effect can have an overlay, some sort of progress bar under the sprite that gradually fills up. Or, there could just be text above the player’s head that reads “Ready to use!” whenever a proc is available again.
I think this idea is useful because some people rely on their procs for their set to work.
