Discussion: User Created UI Addons?

[Antipika]

I don't want to see damage meters. I know it's cool and everything but (atleast in wow) it turned the entire game into a numbers system where if you can't possibly make the numbers then you're a bad player. I don't want anything to do with that kind of atmosphere.

Numbers doesn't matter if the game design remain the same. DPS-checks are barely used in XIV.

If endgame however start to rely heavily on DPS-checks, then it will be useful. It's not about being a bad player or not. It's about knowing if your rDPS is high enough to succeed in an encounter. There is no point trying to kill a boss if you don't have the required DPS to win.

No one actually cares about how much you'll be parsing in EXP parties...

Would love to see an addon where you can bind your skills to your mousebuttons.
A nice partyinterface for Whitemages would also be neat.

Something that was in the original 2.0 concept picture, but I haven't seen in any of the actual 2.0 screenshots, was the ability to see enmity for other party members. As a tank it's handy to know how much enmity you have compared to everyone else in your group. Just knowing that you are "100%" isn't all that helpful, but knowing that you're close to losing hate is.

So yeah, I'd like something that shows the current enmity of all party members for your current target. If making add-ons isn't terribly difficult and the data is available I'll just do it myself.

Hopefully someone makes something like SexyMap!

Maybe not animated like it was in WoW, but this is one of the things i have in mind changing myself.
Even if its for my own personal use. (though a lil animation here & there is cool too.)

It seems to be improving in a game is about how you play it, rather then what gear you have. Like I said this is my experience in wow. Improving = getting better gear = judged via dps meters. People post the top 1-10+ and they say, if you aren't on this list you need to leave the party. It's really obnoxious.

i mean HOW UGLY is that please:




congrats, you play a statistic game and not a RPG anymore.


personally.. i want to enjoy the game.. the atmosphere and the design as well. in Final Fantasy XIII, VII, VIII i also dont need a damage meter for having the feel that i am a good player.. i know it, when i can beat the monsters more easily than before. and looking at my dmg numbers on my own.


but there you go. "i did 41,992 k damage! im awesome" "ha i have a longer di** , i did 42k dmg" ;D i dont like that idea. im not playing an egoshooter or a game for the statistics.
i know when i do good damage, therefore i dont need an addon.

addons are for people who lack of this abillity. my opinion

Eh, the bottom part isn't really ugly. The top, however, is disgusting.

well even the bottom part. it looks like "stracraft" very spacy, and not wow'ish. its just unprofessional and not that good looking like the original WoW classic UI. for me its destroys the atmosphere. but it seems to be just me.

fact is, that user interface has nothing left of WoW art style.


but well.. the most important thing is that you have the option to see that you are 15 yards away from the mob *sarcasm off*
