ARR ~ Add-on Idea's

[RowanLauron]

Hence why I played with the included windowed mode. If window borders were an issue, there are/were plenty of ways to hide them without a windower. Only time I'd see anything other than the game itself is when I alt-tabbed.



Either way, a windower in ARR is completely pointless with Fullscreen (Windowed) likely being a built-in option and tabbing out of fullscreen not crashing the game, outside of wanting to use plugins which SE has no control over other than temporarily breaking them in a patch.

Btw I love your sig lol

Yeah when I was playin 14 full time I was full screen windowed. I was mainly referring to my old FFXI days and early 14. For me it doesn't matter either way now that I have a nexus pad so I don't need to alt tab anymore to look stuff up

I'd like to see some UI add ons that look at the markets, see what's selling, high, low, avg, when selling items or buying items etc.
I'd like to see trending, like a stock ticket regarding the markets, I think that could be a lot of fun for users who like to play around with the economy. Just a thought.

I'll be playing around with making my own add ons for the game when that they release that info, so I'm excited to see what information we will have access to.

Kinda like an Auctioneer add-on?

Gearscore is in the base UI remember it was in a screenshot awhile back. Its probably needed for the dungeon finder to require a minimal lvl of gear before queuing up to ensure success is possible.

Gearscore was integrated into WOW after it became a huge 3rd party thing, like most of the popular 3rd party addons. But really, gear score was a symptom of the "problem", which is that having bad gear could not be made up for in skill at all. Most people who were at least somewhat knowledgeable about the game could spot a poorly geared player regardless of having the gearscore addon or not.

But eventually gearscore, after Blizzard integrated it into the default UI and relabeled it ilvl (item level) had a very useful function, which is not allowing undergeared people into hard mode dungeons via the cross-realm dungeon finder. First iteration dungeon finder was rampant with poorly geared dumb dumbs being carried by other people.

Not talking about Blizzard, I am talking about gearscore is already in FF14 as seen here http://imageshack.us/a/img31/8632/gearscore.jpg

The reason seems that really undergeared person in 14 could give you a bad time in a dungeon or Ifrit fight for example.
