Discussion: User Created UI Addons?

[Ryans]

It took you a lot of words to say nothing!

It's no wonder why we are living in the worst times since the Great Depression. Three paragraphs isn't a lot of words to get a point across.

lapse of good taste or something?
both screenshots looking AWFUL to me.

It's a comparison of a similar number of addons, and how you can either be smart with it and take the time to lay it out properly, or just vomit them all over the screen.

you play a game for the statistics, i play it for my roleplay gaming experience. for fun

As it turns out, you can play a game for the roleplay experience and for fun, while at the same time being successful and knowledgeable. If your idea of fun is to be no more than second best, then by all means go ahead, because nobody is stopping you. You've clearly shown that you neither have the motivation nor knowledge of what it takes to be better than average, but don't try to push your ignorance upon others simply because you do not agree with them.

If you're going to play the 'I play it for what I want to get out of it, you play it for what you want' card, then can I ask why you form an opinion on something like this?
Addons would be for those who want to use them. If you don't want to, then don't?

He's scared that people will use tools such a parser to find out that things such as:

accuracy is a luck based term. that you have 90% accuracy doesnt mean, that you will just miss 1 hit of 10 hits everytime.
it can also mean that you miss 4 hits in a row, although you have 90% accuracy.

not only make him look idiotic, but that everything he said is simply not true.

Let's not forget the fact that auto-hide for most addons has been a thing for years in WOW. When I was still playing, my raid bars, my DPS meter, team buffs/debuffs, non-raid chat log, inventory, minimap, and basically everything that wasn't related to me doing my job and killing the boss were hidden away.

I don't understand why people keep posting screen shots of horrible UI layouts and act like that was the de facto custom UI in WOW.

seriously it makes me sick after years to read "ya in WoW my fat d*ck-o-meter was so great etc."

when you think WoW is so great with stuffs like these.. then go play it... and seriously do you want that kind of community that you have in WoW?!

I think the SENSE of a game is not, that you can read out every numbers which are running in the background of the game. The SENSE of a game is to find stuff out on YOUR OWN.

I like how in the breadth of the same post, you both make fun of WOW's community, insult the person you're replying to, and tell them you'd kick their ass at PVP. This is irony at it's most exquisite.

who uses damage meter in pvp?

[fusional]

in my opinion user interfaces are most of the time very ugly and overloaded ;XD

hi. while not the best, this is an example of a clean raiding UI.



any raider worth their salt will try to maximize open visual real estate so they can see everything that's going on in dynamic battles and react accordingly.
