Discussion: User Created UI Addons?

[Laughlyn]

Discussion.

Wich user created UI addons would you like to see?

or

Wich user created UI addons would you Not like to see?

I have a few in mind myself but well, i wanna see what others think.
Anything from simple graphical mods to more informative addons.
I myself like to skin/redesign stuff.

Note:
Try keep it a civilized discussion.

Some Examples beyond DPS & Stats Addons:

* Gathering Helper - (where to gather & what...etc)
* Crafting Addon - (possibly recipe-book & material finder)
* Hate Control - (possibly showing more detailed Hate / Aggro info)
* UI Skins - (diffrent layouts & themes for UI components)
* Achievement Tracker - (For better overview of X amount of kills for X achievement)
* DPS meter - (well, i had to put it in...)
* Gear Finder - (general overview of what gear is recommended for your current class)
* Quick-Bar - (Bottom / Top bar, quick-bar info such as gil amount, latency, area position, Anima...etc)
* Mob info addon - (Showing various info about targeted mob, such as HP, MP, Drops, weaknesses etc)
* Target Range Indicator - (Well this is pretty much obvious)
* Party / Raid Icons - (Option to mark targets & party members with icons)
* Music Player Addon - (Option to turn off / change music maybe?)
* Chatlog time-stamps (old classic)
* Raid / Hamlet / ? Timers - (General information regarding these)
* Macro Maker - (Info on how to & general overview of ingame macros etc...)
* Map Marker Addon - (possibility to mark world map with icons & text etc)
....im just making some of these up as i go btw

anyway, im sure anyone else got some crazy ideas.
even though the hot-topic seems to be DPS meters / parsers. >.<

I stay always to the original UI. in my opinion user interfaces are most of the time very ugly and overloaded ;XD

what i dislike to see is something like "dmg meters" or something like that.

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.

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.

This is a reality regardless of UI features to make viewing it easier.

using a parser in background is much less used than an ingame dmg meter..

i also do not support this.

How the hell are you supposed to know if you've improved yourself then?

Hm, not really. Since Yoshi announced the 3+ hours dungeons i'm more than willing to improve myself in every way as a DD.

look on your damage numbers yourself...and compare, personally i dont need a parser for that..

i am really afraid of user interfaces when i am reading the comments in here..
