    The stats bars' constant visibility really should be toggleable. One likes them, the other doesn't, and I do not like them.

    For instance, why do we need to see the status of our resource bars while at the bank? Honestly...

    Oh wait...World PVP incoming? Ugh...

    I don't know, maybe for the same reason we do NOT see the list of the items we're supposed to craft for a writ while at the crafting station.. Part of Molag Bal's schemes, maybe?^^

    I don't care
    Not sure if this change is on console (PS4) because I've always kept mine on except for screenshots - and even then, I just get lazy now since the PC camera/ui toggle was faster than on PS4, so I don't bother removing it XD

    Sadly theres some people on these forums actively and strongly campaigning for "NO OPTIONS" so lets hope we actually get an option this time. I'm not sure why they changed it.. but glad its been addressed so quickly.

    @WellJustSayin Unfortunately it hasn't been completely addressed. Our feedback was noticed but there is no firm answer on this becoming an option rather than forced. At this point it is just "something to be looked at".

    Can't recall how many times I've left the Crafting station to look at the quest reminder for this...lol...

    There's probably an add-on, but we shouldn't NEED add-ons. I always thought mods were for fun, extraneous things, not necessary adjustments that should have been in the game in the first place.

    Some kind soul may make an add-on for the issue in this thread. I actually have more hope for this, despite the championing of the cause by @MissBuzz.

    @Morimizo I have reached out to the new authors for Wykkyd's line of addons, specifically in reference to the HUD add-on. This addon keeps the vanilla look of stat bars and offers options to add numbers over top, move them etc. They have commented back and said they would consider it, but no promises. It also for sure will not be awhile as there are problems with some of their addons due to the changes in the API with this update.

    I'm really hoping that ZOS considers adding options into the base game as there as been threads, strong opinions, and feedback regarding both sides (enjoy/dislike of the feature).

    Thanks so much for all your effort, and tracking down the right people! May the restoring light of options illuminate us all. :)

    I'd rather vote "I don't mind" instead though. Some time ago I've set even my skill bar to remain visible but I've always played with stuff visible only during combat.
    Today we make our stand. Today we take back the Ruby Throne, which is ours by ancient right and the blessings of the Divines.

    I guess some people find it easier to go to option/menu/character to find out if your buff is still active. Seeing it on screen all of the time makes more sense to me.

    They shouldn't be visible to players at all unless friendly imo. Just like when players are at least 30 away from other players and they are hiding they shouldn't be visible at all that's nonsense.

    Would be in favor of complete customization.. Toggle on/off options for all the h.u.d. options.

    I was having a trouble on PC that my bars would not disappear and I tracked it down to a UI mod that I was messing with Wykkids enhanced HUD. It by default changed stuff around, so presuming I could just disable the addon and everything would go back to normal, but such was not the case. I had to enable wykkids enhanced hud find the option within that made the bars stay on screen uncheck so they would now disappear as intended, I then for good measure clicked reset all, made sure it was still off in wykkids and then disabled the addon. Now my bars are working as I expected them to.

    So it was an addon for me on PC and while I know it is not the same problem everyone is having, the point is the addons changes were not simply undone by unloading it, and by default ESO doesnt have the same option.

    This makes me think twice about playing with addons...

    While I like having my bars up at all times, it was previously possible to lock them as showing, so there is no point in this.

    Display Resource Bars

    1. Always on
    2. Automatic
    3. Never Show


    Why make it different from every other option?
