Which Add-Ons do you think need to be in-game features

binn05_ESO

I searched for some look alike topic but couldn't find it.

So, list the Add-Ons functionality that you think should be an in-game feature.
When possible explain your reasons, and link the Add-On.
Also, all of those features should be activated/inactivated as players like/dislike them.

My list of needs:

• Craft Research Time

No one wants to travel to a crafting station just to see how much time is needed to finish a research.
If a was an in-game researcher I would have labeled hourglass to now when my "backed cookies" were ready.

• SoftCap Info

As some people need to see their dps, I need to see my stats. And I don't think knowing more about my character breaks immersion.

• Sous Chef

As many other crafting add-ons, my character can know many things from memory, but I can't. Let us see which

• Advanced Filters

I have 160 inventory slots, I harverts nodes as crazy. Help me organize my bags. Also, give me some bags, backpacks and other storage devices to use around my armor (graphic update).

• MultiCraft

/sarcasm on
As much as I like my carpal tunnel syndrome as the next guys, I really like to avoid it.
/sarcasm off
Having to press R n times is not the hand's best friend.

• Roomba - Guildbank Stacker

I don't need to explain that a feature that was in-game and need to be remove, must come back to the game.

• Harven's Improved Skills Window

There is no reason to why I can't see how my morphs compare to the other option.

• Harven's Quest Journal

That is how I should see my quest progress. A real journal.

• Compass BG-b-gone

For a team that claims that UI minimalism is the way to go, that gray bar above my head is annoying.

• Inventory Space Display

No more press I to see how many inventory slots I have left. Yay!!!!

• Crafting Material Level Display

As with some options above, my character can remember some of those informations, my mind can't. It's already filled with real life things that I should not forgot, but always forget...

• Research Assistant

Because I have to keep an out-of-game spreedsheet to remember what I have already researched and what I haven't. Let's talk about breaking immersion here...

• Harven's Stack Split Slider

I can't even remember how I played the game before using these add-on.

• SpentSkillPoints

Some of us want to have a good split between combat skills and craft skills. Before these add-on I had to count how many points I had spent on which. No more.

All of them.

The purpose of Addons is one of two:
- Solve a problem till the Developers get around to bring out a properly tested and developed solution.
- Solve a problem in a way only a small portion of the player base want it solved (not important enough to made a wide solution).

BatmanStoreFilter reached this final part of it's lifecycle (functionality being included in the game) already.
As did the Spam Filter/ignore list/Fast report addons.
All other addons are just hoping to be "next".

Of all the things on your list, if I had to pick the one I think the devs need to actually implement into the game first, it is Advanced Filters. Holy crap, I don't know how people can play without that one.

reggielee

none. all of these are optional and not necessary or vital tho convenient. before the pitchforks begin, I use 3 addons, but honestly, all could be done with some notes on paper with a pen, like I do in all my other games.

Technically, it's not "necessary" to have any visible UI at all while playing. That doesn't mean that the game wouldn't be overall improved by the addition of some of the more popular addons to the vanilla game. Maybe not all of the ones the OP listed, but there's absolutely no reason why simple things like "Advanced Filters" and "Harven's Stack Split Slider" shouldn't be in the game. Find me one person that would oppose either of those two if the devs added them.

Exactly. The ones that should be on the devs radar are the ones that no one could possibly say "I don't want that".

For me that would include Research Assistant, AI Research Grid, Crafting Material Level Display and some version of research timers ( I use the one that comes with Wykkyds Framework Bazgrims Toolbar)

None of these have any impact on the HUD (except Bazgrims) so it would be really hard to say "No thanks!" to.

Man after looking at my choices it really makes me realize how half-baked crafting is, lol.

ShadowscaleSithis

I got one that would be nice -- One that auto logs in your alts to get the hireling mails. Such a pain having to log in just to get those lol

JessieColt

AI Research Grid
Mini-Map
Sous Chef

That is beyond the ability of Addons.

And before they would code that they would propably rather change how the Hireling system works.
I don't mind it being limited to "only when you log-in".

Artemiisia

None, I like being able to design my UI to my needs, and that we dont have things forced on us.

Like say the mini map, I love it in Age of Conan, I tried it here on ESO, and truly hate it.

Sengra

X4D Chat

- chat window enlarger (up to full screen size)
- time stamps in chat

I don't know if there are addons for this, but I'd also much appreciate:

- the option to download/save only one chat channel (for RP)
- being able to directly reply to a private message and save it in an outbox

DHBM

im amazed at how many people dont know you can manually type in the stack # you want to split to.

Nox_Aeterna

You have a good list going.

I would add bank manager , probably one of my MVP addons.

Apothecy

Pansy Labs' Combat Indicator is a really nice add-on that would fit nicely in the game. It turns your compass outline red when you are in combat. And you can change it to whatever color you want.

GnatB

Multicraft

Research Assistant

Radar (This isn't actually an addon, as an addon can't do it, but I still feel the game is half broken w/o it) with a 30m (or whatever the max range is for keen eye skills) Would obviously show nodes exposed by keen eye. (I'd like to actually turn grass back on without severely handicapping myself), and, when in first person mode, would also indicate the position of group members, Visible enemies that have aggroed on you, and perhaps most importantly, show the "red danger zones".

ShadowscaleSithis

I did not find an addon for this, but being able to buy in bulk would be great. I hate clicking E 100 times or whatever at the grocer.

When you right click on the item in store window, there is an option to buy multiple items.

Bleakraven

I think the one feature from that list we really need is the split stack sliders. So useful!
