Console- Why isn't there any damage number pop ups in battle?

I don't know why there isn't an option to show how much damage your doing in battle? And why isn't there a countdown or a meter for your skills or buffs? I think this would and should be a very important option to have. I mean come on, this is mother f@#$+-# Elder Scrolls Online! There should at least be a DLC for this, I would literally pay money to have this!

No, it didn't. If yours did then you obviously played PC with mods.

ESO is an MMORPG and past Elder Scrolls games are not, therefore the element you have brought up does not apply to this. Don't agree? Then consider the fact that ESO quests sometimes use our character names in our dialogue choices. Also bear in mind that regardless of any gamer tags Skyrim at least never referred to the player by their character name either but instead by Dragonborn if they knew you were that.Edited by UltimaJoe777 on September 15, 2015 4:39AMGuildmaster of Power With Numbers in PS4 NA Server's Aldmeri Dominion.

Tectonaut✭✭✭Would it be terribly immersion breaking to have cool down timers for skills displayed the same as the potion cooldown or the ultimate charge? It is evident that incrementally highlighting (or dehighlighting) a slot is already in the games design. Numbers could be displayed in a history menu just like the guild history? With categories such as damage taken/damage inflicted/damage mitigated/ healing bestowed. Could be tied into a trade history menu that would show who, what, and where you traded. This could deter scamming potentially as well.
Though I openly admit I feel there are more pertinent issues zos should address, this is still something that I feel should be looked into. I think I'll end my rambling ideas on that note.1 -

And what if a skill used by someone else or a debuff nullifies the effects of the skill you used thus rendering this inaccurate? Also the cooldown bit for consumables is in place to show how long until you can use it again period.Guildmaster of Power With Numbers in PS4 NA Server's Aldmeri Dominion.

My biggest fear in life is, ending up marrying a girl who is lactose intolerant, think about it you would have to purchase double the amount of milk every week, cause you enjoy the goodness of full cream milk and she is drinking soy beans, and her milk takes up extra room in the fridge, or when you are doing a midnight run to the fridge to get a nice cup of milk and to accidentally pour some Soy milk. I couldn't imagine a worst way to do married life. - Barry Scott1 -

No they want it, hence all the add-ons on PC. Personally, I think they're spoiled because I do just fine without all these "conveniences".Guildmaster of Power With Numbers in PS4 NA Server's Aldmeri Dominion.

BullNetch✭✭✭There needs to a seperate UI for raids and dungeons.
Raids and dungeons in some MMOs tend to be about watching DOT/HOT timers, getting that "rotation" down.
There aren't any visual cues when a dot expires.0 -

✭✭It's already in the game, you just can't see it. Because the "Skyrim with friends" people convinced ZOS that
was more important than knowing what was going on, more important than being able to properly test sets and skills, more important than having options
It's all there in the background tho. Damage, nameplates, minimap the whole thing.Edited by Xendyn on September 15, 2015 6:12AMLag is ruinin' my 'mershun!

If the skill was nullified by another skill the timer could be highlighted again just as if the time lapsed...and I did NOT mean ALL timers would go on the consumables timer. That was merely an example of how it could be displayed and to show that a cooldown system is indeed already in place, it just needs to be displayed per slotted skill. If a skill had no cooldown, it would simply be bright all the time. If it has a cooldown, after use it could be greyed out in decreasing increments until highlighted again. I agree the consumables timer should only display the cooldown left on consumables, but why argue that it wouldn't be just as easy to implement the same "timer" mechanic on a skill such as spiked armor/ shadow cloak/ lightning form/ restoring aura, etc...
I swear I think some people poke holes in ideas just for the fun of it.

Tectonaut✭✭✭I am simply trying to problem solve easy fixes (not brainstorm new problems). Console players will likely never ever have access to addons and I am OK with that SOOO lets give zos easy to implement in patch ideas, not bombard them with game mechanics changing dillemas.0

DezKoth87✭✭Almost the entire game is based around numbers...armor, damage, skill points, resistance, percentiles, ect. Numbers are what we use to scale our character. So to not have a countdown or damage pop up is just stupid. There should be an option to turn these things off or on. Simple as that. If u don't want them...then turn it off. But the fact is that this should be an option that should have been in the game from the beginning.
Thanks for all the comments and hopefully ZOS gets it straightened out soon.0 -

The logic to not have all that is based on providing a TES experience and not a traditional MMO experience.
It's sorted out they way they intend on offering such a presentation.
If you prefer other experiences the PC platform offers addons
Console will be different but largely the PC feel minus mouse, addons and keyboard-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf

Every game is nothing but number at its core. Everything from Mario to Skyrim is nothing but numbers at heart. Hardly do I see it as a good enough reason on its own to implement anything because of that all-encompassing logic.
That being said, I would not be adverse for the option of floating numbers to be implemented in-game so long as it is toggle able and unable to be linked to others. Preferably it would be off by default but that is a minor detail.0 -

If we do that, can we get some more basic TES elements in the game?
