Addons in heavensward?

[Cassandaria]

Veritas, I think you can do that already. Just press scroll lock on your keyboard. removes all UI elements, name tags, ect, so that all you can see is the screen and the environment. Granted, this is used for screen shots more than anything else, but that may be what you are looking for.

I hate the standard raid/party frames in this game. I hate the cast bar. I hate the buffs/debuffs display. I hate the player and target unit frames. I'd like to be able to customize them, display latency in the cast bar, change colors, show health in text, etc.

And I'd like an in game combat parser. If SE wants people to get better at the game so more people can experience the end game raid content, there needs to be more accountability for player's performance. I know SE has been looking down on those using parses, believing that it is used to shame casual players, but that's not how it should be used. There will always be jerks that misuse information. But just as this data can be used to feed elitism, it can also prevent it.

There has been absolutely no information released or demonstration of any possible future add on API to date. If they had an API for creating and modifying the UI, they would have used it to build and maintain the existing UI. But the UI appears to be incredibly rigid and hard to update, making it difficult for the development team to make changes to existing UI elements.

Any type of addon UI appears to be a pipe dream at the moment. And I don't expect we'll see one anytime soon.

Is there any news about the base programming language (like LUA, AS, ECMA e.g.) wich will be used for the mod api?

[Callinon]

My assumption would be LUA, but they might throw us a curveball and their entire UI is in QBasic.

I want to see third party add on development supported SE.

[Tiva]

I want to see third party add on development supported SE.

Yes I agree!
Please if others agree, respond as well! If they don't see player interest in this they may decide its not needed.

I'm adding I want to see this for ps4 too

[XiXiQ]

yes, a private dps parser is required for the ps4.

I would also like a way to keep a copy of the session log, or have it emailled to me. I've found no way to get that information out of the ps4 to even check things manually.

To assist people with latency, there should be an option to snap-on the AOE circles/lines, etc rather than have them use a 3rd of the cast to be visible. The animation part at the start needs to be optional.

I would love an add ons if only for a in-game meter. Though I do enjoy not having boss timers and raids designed around them.

I just want something like that can show death recaps, damage done, damage taken (friendly and enemy and by who). Just something that organizes the info in the log, that's also in-game. Please make this happen if anything.
