I just got this really important ingame notfication...

spoqster

... oh never mind, it just tells me that some random guy I don't know from one of my 500 members trade guilds has finished a raid and his score is displayed without putting it into relation with mine.

KenjiJU

Wait... Wait wait wait waitwaitwaitwaitwaitwaiwaiwaiwawawaitwait wait wait.

You didn't grats him?

clayandaudrey_ESO

There should be a auto grats option for notifications.

PBpsy

You just wasted ~ 4.5s of my life which is 2.7s more than those notifications usually waste.

Gilvoth

if you make about 12,327 threads like this one all saying the same thing maybe zenimax will get the hint that this is how we feel ingame.
i truely hate those very annoying ingame messages telling me this stuff and i hope it gets fixed soon.

@spoqster: here's another notification.
Use ByTheNine Notify (add-on) to get rid of them.

ArcaneBlue

seriously though, why shouldn't we be able to toggle those notifications off by default? *shakes head*

NadiusMaximus

Just make them pop up in chat once, like that other game.

Rodario

We should find out the @name of the person who came up with the notification system and notify them whenever we get a notification.

I don't mind when it's someone I actually know. ("Your Friends and fellow Guild Members @name", which amused me since it was only one person, and I didn't know she could be friends plural). But I'm in three large trading guilds, and yes - 95% of the time I have no idea who the person is.

It does make me laugh when someone's time for a trial is in the 300 minute+ mark because of all the deaths. I had one today which was 586 minutes!

What it took 4.5 sec to read that, I read the whole thread in under 3 secs, and your's is halfway.

Wait wut? are you guys actually asking for something to be integrated in the UI? But you know, there are addons for that right?

Sylvyr

Please give us the option to filter notifications. Getting sick of notifications for trials.

I'll even provide some pseudocode if that helps.

UI Filter section
- contains checkboxes for filter states for different notifications and store in variables (or even an array) (boolean type)

Notification code instert
IF <filtervariable> NotEqual TRUE then ... display notification
ELSE ... don't display notifcation

How does one stalk players if i dont recieve the vital information of their whereabouts?

eventide03b14a_ESO

I agree 100%, though is anyone actually surprised we are missing any options to customize our notifications? Thank you ZOS for your completely intentional and not at all lazy approach to a unfinished "minimalist" UI design.

Cazic

Hahaha... Yeah these notifications get pretty annoying. We should be able to toggle them off or at least friends only and not all guild members.

We should have the option to show what we want to be notified about and filtered by guilds as well.

Thechemicals

I guess they didnt think people would be smashing Trials so easily 24/7.

okraus

Best code ever... looks quiet familiar to me... wait for it.... wait for it... hmm... hard to remember... wait for it... ah! now i got it! Same structure of code ZOS uses for the client-server communication.

TehMagnus

This could be fixed by just putting a checkbox in all your guilds to remove or accept notifications but since they prolly have one monkey working part time on the UI (else I can't understand how it can suck this much) they prolly don't have the time to dev this.

I will include this concern in my next monthly "Fix Your UI Zenimax!" post

ramasurinenpreub18_ESO

Yup totally agreed. They're massively irritating. I want fine control over ALL notifications in-game. Whether they come from people on my friends list or from guilds etc, I should be able to choose which ones I will see.

In my opinion the ONLY messages you shouldn't be able to block are the ones from ZoS concerning an impending server downtime. That's it.
