Your Magicka, Health, and Stamina bars will now remain visible - Do you like it?

SilentRaven1972

No

It really should be optional. Bad enough they made the enemy health bars narrower and harder to see (the ones above their heads), but now I have giant stat bars taking up my visual space. DO NOT WANT!

Oh the irony of you asking for options.

Anyway, this does need to be optional. This particular problem does not bother me. That being said, I need to ensure most, if not all, UI configurations are optional so I can have my buff timers and damage numbers on console without interrupting the play of those who do not like them. ZOS listen to the people. We want information, communication and option...ation.

Edit: Changed OP to more accurately reflect my intentions.

Thanks @J2JMC I am actually a supporter of a more robust UI so long as those are options, and not forced upon anyone. I maybe should have been a bit clearer, but I'm not asking for the change to be reversed at all, as this thread has pointed out - many people like it, I would just like to have the option of when this happens. Seems silly to now have an option to turn your health bars off that doesn't actually work I'll be quite happy when ZOS adds things such as an on screen buff tracker, means one more add-on can go, and I can just switch it on when I head to dungeons

No

I really don't like this at all; there was no need to have them permanently clutter up the immersive HUD; food/drink effects always were clearly signaled when they ended, by the bars appearing, shrinking, then going away.

Not only that, if for some reason I didn't notice the visual, I could just tell from the difference in combat (one extra hit to eradicate a standard mob, i.e.).

PLEASE give us the option to disable this.

Hey guys, thanks for all your feedback. We are looking into other options for this, and will let you know when we have something nailed down.

Why on earth did you change it?? It worked so well and perfectly before the patch. This is a classic if it works don't touch it!

Gina, thanks for listening to us. You guys are doing a great job, and when it comes to being available and listening you have been GOLDEN.

Thank you!

I don't care

I use an addon to keep my bars visible at all times, and centered.

I don't care

I use drink so I don't see it.

I read the patch notes.. twice. Yet I didn't seem to catch this.

I was online today when a guildmate mentioned their stamina and health bar never going away.. I also noticed my magicka and health never going away. I disabled all addons, removed the folder, all that jazz. Just to be told that this was an INTENDED change. (I must have missed it) Now, if you have an active effect (such as food buff) the stat (mag,stam or health) that it effects - the bar will NEVER go away. To the point of turning all healthbars in the game "OFF" it still will not go away.

It was mentioned upcoming changes to the UI will be completely optional. I would have REALLY enjoyed this to be optional. I never noticed in the PTS as I was in IC and always seemed to be in battle - not peacefully questing. As someone who plays certain characters with minimal UI (no quest tracker, no quest markers on some) I would really prefer that this be an option.

Do you like the new change?

Your Magicka, Health, and Stamina bars will now remain visible while under an active effect, such as food buffs.

It would probably be possible to disable them with an addon. Though that won't help console players much.

Thank you very much Gina! It's greatly appreciated you will have some folks look into this, and will be even more appreciated if they find a way to make it an option!

Nor anyone else who has no wish to use any addons.

Yes, thank you for that. I also do not like that particular change to my UI. I've always kept track of my buffs and really find this to be an eyesore

Don't like it.

Love it, if anything make it a toggle, but please leave them on.

Araxleon

Yes

Options are nice.

I do think it should START with this turned on when you make a character as this is VERY useful for a new player, and if they want it off they can have it in the options to turn it off. (but keeping it on has many benefits)

after all the UI is extremely minimal already

I actually think the same @Araxleon . I saw someone mentioned they didn't care if it was off by default, but I think on by default would be much better. Many people don't read patch notes (or do and miss a couple) so having it on lets people know its available. If they don't like it, I bet they will look for a way to turn it off (like I did)

Avenias

I like it because i dont want to use the dam add on to see it. Its one of the basic aspects of any rpg, being able to monitor ur dam hp and mana bars.

I think the option should be there also , but the deliciousness I am getting from him having wanting an option he wants and isnt going to be there is , oh god , so delicious.

Console too please!
And a way to turn UI off on console for screenshots like I can on my PC version would be nice.

Exactly @Attorneyatlawl ! I'll keep voting for those ugly *ehem* useful name tags floating above people's heads (You know, since they'll obviously have an "off" option heh)

Attorneyatlawl

@MissBizz. Exactly the reasoning I have for most options. If you don't like them, they can always be toggled on or off, dependent on if you do of course !
