Why doesn't it say how much XP from a kill we get?

I don't get it, it's like I'm battling blindly. There is just an old school death bar and that's it. I can't tell how much HP the thing has, how much it has left, how much XP I got or anything. This is what I'm talking about when I say things like this game is VERY vanilla and very bland feeling... to me. Please implement something.

Opinion.
ESO's UI is quite.. minimal, those of us who play on the PC platform are able to download addons which help offset this. Some addons include exp per kill and how much hp an enemy has, I'm not sure what consoles can do about it though.

Fartman✭✭✭Lucky PC players, I have been contemplating selling my PS4 for a gaming rig, games are cheaper and better on them. I'd love to know how much more XP I had to go and such.The_Sadist wrote: »coryevans_3b14_ESO wrote: »Not going to happen. Ever.

Drazhar14✭✭✭✭✭If you are on PC, you can get addons which show numerically how much health an enemy has over-top their health bar, and experience pop-ups in the corner or your screen or in the chat box when you kill something. If you are on console, I pity you.0 -
Mitchblue✭✭✭✭They seem to just get lazy on some stuff for the console versions. I have those things and I might give the game 8.5. Instead it's maybe a 5.

You do know you just sound like all those "wowkids" that play WoW that need to know how much better the are then everyone else and will brag about it when the are group and raid in WoW and tell everyone else other that you are noob or L2P. You do know that mobs will go down even if you dont know how much dps you do and a number will not make or break the game for you.Edited by Wolfshead on June 24, 2015 4:56AMIf you find yourself alone, riding in green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled; for you are in Elysium, and you're already deadWhat we do in life, echoes in eternity1 -

Well we have addon for but on PC and most people that play ESO on PC that use that addon dont act like people in WoW that is true but as coryevans_3b14_ESO for most off us those number will/would ruin mersion and when you fight like 4 to 6 mobs and see number take up most of screen you will mostlike dead alot fast or think how much problem it will be if you are in Cyrodiil fight more then 50+ people the only thing you would see if number flashing on screen yeah that would be fun right?
What i try to point a number will not break or make game for you a number is just a number and at the end of day that number will tell you what that you do more dmg/dps then those people you have team up with and what good will that do you sure it will help you make better player sure but then you are not here to fun time then you are just here to be best of have big number nothing else.

So that is all you got out of it fine for you.
No i not say that PC player is more mature i just say that those people i have meet the dont care about how much dmg/dps do for as long as you dont see dmg number flashing on screen then you dont think about it.
But as soon you have number flashing on screen each time you hit something people start to notice it and start to focus on how much more dmg im do then rest of team.

1st off all get over all this as you nicely put "I guess we over on the consoles are playing with a bad crowd."
2nd i tell you those have meet in game have not sit and spam group chat with thing like "omfg you do so bad dmg/dps or you noob uninstall game or L2P ffs" that tell me those people care more about have fun and enjoy game with other then sit trash talk in group chat.
No one is say that at all and we have option to download a addon which a 3rd part have made that is true and that you dont have that options i get that but the fact is the ZoS will not add dmg/dps or health number to game if want the would have done at in beta already and you also have options you can always start to PC version so dont sit there tell me that you dont have options for you then if you like PS4 or XboxOne more that all good.

I'm saying it's not as fun. It's one of the problems. I'm just suggesting if PC has certain things why not console? They got lazy on a few items. Do you use other add on's? It's more than just damage. It's fact that they left a few PC items off a console and there reason, immersion, is not a good one.

✭They really only left one item off the consoles: add-ons. (Well, that and text chat, but let's not go into that here.)
Sadly, add-ons are being used a whole lot by most PC players to fix the generally uninformative and bad UI in the game, to the point where many PC players can't imagine playing the game without some of those add-ons. The changes the add-ons make range from small quality improvements (like guild bank stacking, guild store search and research management) to some almost complete redesigns of the combat UI.

✭✭✭You should be glad they gave you health and stat bar.
Imagine how much more immershuve the game would have been if they used mmersive video cues on your body to tell how much health you have. Maybe one of those awesomely mmersive screen that gets red when your health gets low and maybe your controls get sluggish also. Stamina should have been signaled by your hair and magicka by the color of your skin.

It's part of the game, you need pen and paper.
Note down your current XP total.
Find a monster note down it name and level, kill the monster, do the maths and work out how much XP you got. You then need to do this process for every monster in your current area.
But the fun just keeps giving, when you level you get to do the process all over again as the totals would of changed.
Immersion in the game is so much fun. I hope you enjoy this part of the game.

I miss some of the data I am used to seeing in other MMORPGs, but there's some I don't miss as well.
I'm not sure I would want as much of my FoV taken up with data as you have in your image.
However, I am a BIG believer in giving players choices, and all of those things SHOULD have been in the game from day one, and toggleable, so players have that choice.
