I hope it's not just me but the new text in the middle of the screen that's supposed to be helpful in telling me about a mechanic is more distracting than helpful to me.
Every time it happens it pulls my attention towards the text itself instead of the mechanic I am supposed to dodge.
I remember one time being tank in a dungeon and fighting a mini-boss. There was a mechanic that was not even new or anything coming from within the boss itself. As soon as the mechanic started the text also appeared with that sound effect. So I automatically looked at the text to read it which takes a second and got hit by the mechanic since I stood right in front of the boss. Without the text I would have probably dodged it.
I wish there was a way to at least turn it off. I don't need that text, the mechanics are obvious enough. Show, don't tell. Don't make me read about a mechanic, the indicators about what is about to happen are obvious enough. And if the mechanic is new, I just get hit, understand what I did wrong and learn. But the text with that sound every time the mechanic happens for the first time at every boss is rather annoying.
