Hey Blizzard can y’all add the UI construction timer that was added in an update to the Enhanced tooltips toggle that’s in the options?
Seems like an enhanced tool tip to me and there’s currently no way to turn it off.
Thanks 
its not a tooltip and isn’t implemented like one so that woudn’t work. I also can’t imagine turning it off personally, it doesn’t get in the way of anything and its good to know how much time is left.
All “enhanced tooltips” does is put additional descriptive text in the tooltip window in the bottom right when you hover the mouse over things.
Thanks for you opinion cpt jak
I’m curious why you’d rather not know how much time is left on a building or unit. It’s just a small number next to the word “building” or “training” that was always there before. Why is that so bothersome to you? I’m not asking to be rude, I’m genuinely curious.
Because I already know how long things take to make. It’s how the game was for 15+ years. Counting down the seconds is something you would find in a tutorial mode.
Why have a construction bar and a countdown timer?
Well, for me, regardless of how much I’ve played, all the multitasking all over the map is going to cloud the knowledge of how much time has passed. Not to mention multiple timers often overlapping.

because the bar isn’t very precise. depending on the thing, it could be 15 seconds or it could be nearly 3 minutes.
I get how you feel in this case, but even if I were to have every construction timer memorized I would still find this useful because I’m not THAT great at predicting the exact moment in time those 20-30-40 seconds will be. It also (in my opinion of course) doesn’t hurt anything by being there. I don’t find it distracting, it doesn’t cause any other information to be hidden, it doesn’t obstruct the view of anything… etc.
Plus, it does gain us information that was never really readily available before- the effect of adding more workers to a Human building under construction. Watch the timer change as you add/remove workers. Can you tell me you knew exactly how much shorter a town hall at 55% completion was going to take with 5 workers on it instead of 4?
I respect your opinion on this but I don’t think anything needs to be changed here. The tooltips you compared it to are different. Enabling that option makes them take up more space on the screen and potentially covering up more space, blocking your view in that area. Thus here it’s a lot more understandable that someone wouldn’t want that option on once they’re familiar enough with the game.
Adding it as a toggle option like the other tool tips would be cool with me
It’s not a tooltip. And it doesn’t need a toggle. It blocks no visibility of any other information, it harms you in no way by being there. This is work that could be better spent adding options for other things that actually need them.
