Addon support?

[GenJoe]

What I expect is that any "add-on" support will be limited to only information that is available on-screen already. To do otherwise would give PC players an extremely unfair advantage over console users.

But PC players already have an advantage over the console users by means of hardware..
If you even have just a $30 macro mouse from Logi... You can make a 1 button combo macro with custom delay times in between. I have a 9 button mouse that can do exactly that, I might use it too if I played class that relied on it.


More extravagant hardware will allow for even more craziness.

Honestly I find it a little strange to be playing an mmo that runs on ps4, having to ask someone if they are on console or pc just to know if I can send them a youtube link or whatever, since console users wouldn't be able to alt tab for that.

As for only displaying available information, most of what a lot of the other people here have wanted is already available on screen, but in less than helpful positions (having to look to the top of the screen to check for buff timers, then down to the bottom of the screen for cool down timers, ugh)

Edit: as to what gen said, I would agree 100%, simply can't imagine playing an mmo without my Logitech G600, and I highly doubt the programmable buttons on that would work on a console.

As repetitive as this might sound, as long as we have PS3 support, there will be little to no add ons added. PS3 simply can't handle them. I even doubt that a PS4 could handle loads of add ons.

For the near future it would be nice to have at least more UI options, QoL adjustmenst regarding the UI and some form of a parser.

I hope we'll get word from SE with a legit timeline.

Chances are, most of the addons will be PC exclusive anyway. I figure PS4 and PC will have different structures for building addons also, so PS4 will require a lot more niche community of developers for the addon.. PC, plenty of people with experience ready to jump in.. I don't think SE would release addons for both platforms simultaneously anyhow.

The ui could use a few good add ons imo

SE, plz do allow them in the near future orrrrr take the many many ui QoL suggestions ppl have made over the past year and develop a much more configureable ui at the very least.

I use add ons in wow, but just a couple, its impressive what these players can create ^^

I can live without most of the stuff I used to use in WOW, but there are some definite UI and general quality of life improvements that are desperately needed. Don't need addons for that, just fix the base game.

Mostly looking forward to someone making a chat filter add on so no more rmt tells lol

it's already been done sure the TOS does not allow to use them but people still do.

Also i don't see addon being release anytime soon it seem like they don't care to release it at this pint.

DPS meter, but not to harass ppl, to know how I'm doing with my job...

I am a PC player but I hope they will never add addons support. I believe it would discriminate PS3 and PS4 players and I can already see statics not taking people without some addons etc.
If they added ingame parser and solved a few problems (especially the reports) people are asking for, we wouldn't need addons.
