Yoshi P statement regarding third party tools

[KuroMaboroshi]

This is a really good direction.

It is a really good sentiment, but the direction is already wrong. Before any UI and HUD improvements, what they should be focusing on is removing latency-induced animation lock, aka. finally fixing the netcode.

Now, of course I suspect this means that the UI team currently has capacity to look into such things while the server team has none, but still, they if they are at all aware of the issue, they should at least have mentioned they might look into it at the next possible point in the future.

Don't get me wrong, I don't disagree with this, I just simply think that it is a good direction they're willing to look into and review some of the more prominent tools. From experience, most wouldn't even give these matters the time of day to consider making them integral to the game itself. Which given the multi-platform nature of the game it's crucial.

While I think "So... basically nothing's changed?" as I read the notice, I think it is at least good to serve as a reminder.

They're just mad about all the cheating during the DSR world first race.

Nothing is going to change.

Hopefully they start banning people who publicly use such HUD addons, if you cant clear a raid without a ton of extra information to help you then you shouldnt be clearing it anyway.

Otherwise it might end up like WoW where many people cant play the game without a billion addons holding their hand

ITT:

People who won't clear any Ultimate even if you gave them 1000 hours to do so insinuating that world first/streamers can't clear Ultimate without addons.

Tbh allowing "certain" plugins only was always gonna be a slippery slope. Like yoshida said it is physically impossible to evaluate them on an individual basis to ascertain which are malicious and which ones aren't and as soon as you're done, 100 more pop-up every single day.

All I have to say is PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, use a brighter red font on the announcement or don't use it at all. The subtle red color in half of the post made me feel like I was having a stroke or something. I spent a good 30 seconds trying to see if the text was red or if I need to call someone, lol.

i always feel like if you're going to dismiss any modifications to a game, you better be ready to bring your A-game when it comes to supporting QOL/Community requested features within the base ui, sadly, BD3 has not really done so, latency tied animation locks, extremely finnicky ui elements, a housing system that relies on either installing a plugin or learning a multitude of glitches to even make good looking houses, outdated market board interface many users use Universalis to replace, among countless other issues really mar this game's experience, especially for console users without any ways to actively participate in many of these modifications that should just be part of the baseline game in some way shape or form

If they want to stamp out modifications, they need to provide a good enough service themselves that using them is unwarranted, sadly i doubt this will happen, and players will continue utilizing these tools until they do.

They should actually make a market board API once and for all.

Although almost all streamers clearing ultimates ARE using addons / ACT callouts and such. And the WF groups also have 9th mans creating scripts / strats for their teams too. It's not everyone but I can pinpoint several streamers who say do UCOB and the entire Nael mechanics is announced for them Stack -> Spread -> In. Same with something like UWU almost all parties use automarkers for Titan Gaols including openly in PF. Sooo yeah you can definitely clear without those things, but lets not act like the average player clearing ultimates is not using one or several of these tools.

So they acknowledge packet-spoofing mods, and they mention expanding the HUD in accordance with UI mods. They don't give a peep about how awful it is to weave with low ping and fixing that? Ugh!

Okay, hats off to you on that one.
