As the title says, I decided to disable to bar from the interface menu. The reason has to do with the fact that getting information on the different effects active on characters during battles has its visibility greatly impacted due to the interface (I hope you are aware of these problems). So I wanted to make the interface as small as possible so that I can see as much meaningful game-play information. The problem is that disabling this bar is not actually implemented properly as only the abilities are not depicted, the bar itself remains:

 

Agree. A fix woud be great. 

Hey everyone,

 

Sorry about the annoying bar that is left on the screen.  We fortunately already have a bug in for this reported by one of our external testers and a fix is already under way.  Keep an eye on the patch notes to see when this fix is implemented!

 

Thanks for reporting this and sorry for the inconvenience it is causing.
