This UI needs to be changed.

AlbanianGuy101

I've been playing ESO since June when it came out for console, the first thing I noticed was the UI. Lets be honest, the UI is utter crap. You are extremely limited in customization how you want to see your screen. I get that Zenimax wants to keep the immersion in the game for people thinking this is Skyrim 2.0 but this is an MMO. We should be able to scale and customize where we want to place our ability bar. We should be able to have the option to enable a damage counter for when you hit, stun, and snare enemies. All of this should have been in the game from launch. This is a really big factor as to why ESO is not as popular as it should be. Hardcore MMO players need these things in their games to think tactically in PvP or PvE. Now since I just joined the community almost a month ago I am assuming their have been many requests like mine, and they probably ignored it, but what I learned from being in the Destiny community for almost a year is that you should never give up and keep giving this situation attention even if it seems to be doing nothing.

Thank you for reading my post, and Zenimax I really hope you come to your senses and fix the UI.

The UI is fine for the Elder Scrolls, it's what players of the TES IP wanted and with the PC version those who want a more traditional MMO-type UI have the option for that through addons. The problem is that the console version doesn't support addons. Whether ZOS will end up providing some additional (but optional) functions for the console version I don't know, but it is something that comes up from time to time. Personally I have played the PC version since launch with no addons at all, and I love the simplicity of the UI and the resulting uncluttered screen but then I'm not a hardcore MMO player in the sense you mean and I can appreciate that the basic UI doesn't provide all the information hardcore gamers rely on, although at least all console players are in the same position so no-one is being individually disadvantaged.

The UI is not "fine," it sucks big time. I don't even think the console community is okay with it. I am in the console community and I am not okay with this kind of UI.

Oh it is for exactly what he stated. "The UI is fine for the Elder Scrolls," verses had he said "The UI is fine for the Elder Scrolls Online"

It is just fine for a solo game where you only compete against AI, no group dungeons built for 4 or 12 where pulling your weight matters, no PVP where understanding exactly what your skills* do, how much damage you can do/protect from.....(long list)

Welcome to ESO @AlbanianGuy101 and the fight for UI options!

They cant do that because someone's immershun might get broken . That is unacceptable.

True, that is unacceptable. This is Skyrim 2.0 not an MMO!

Agree. OPTIONS are needed. I and many other TES players want minimalist UI but there are plenty of others who want options to make their screens look like wow. Keep asking! I am pulling for you because who knows... maybe even I would want to activate a small little piece of it.
