How many people disable spell labels?

Just wondering, I've played since 2000 so I know all the spells by word of power and feel that disabling the spell labels adds to the feel of t2a. For example instead of the default Corp Por [Energy Bolt], with the tags off it will just read Corp Por. Is anyone else with me here?

Nope... I'm a newb, I need those!!!! I could recognize a few of the spells I use all the time, but I think I would get confused without them.

Plus, I'm still getting used to my hot-keys and am always pressing the wrong buttons, I could really screw myself without the labels :lol:

You can edit how they are displayed in other ways too. I have mine set so that I can differentiate spells from other text (along with different hues for different types).

** Greater Heal **

** Energy Bolt **

This way it's easy to see spells by color and the asterisk to make it more noticeable. It's easy to see through any text or any other shit that's getting spammed mid fight.

I'd still like to go back to old school where you could mask spells with speech text.

I do override spell hues with Razor, but I remove the spell names. I only see words of power, but red text for harmful, blue for beneficial and grey for neutral.

Oh I like this idea (spell hues), thanks!

Yea I prefer only seeing "corp por" or "an corp". It looks cheesy seeing the spell name and definitely makes it feel less t2a.
