Stoltverd✭✭✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!Wut??? What do you mean "a bump"????0 -
MarrazzMist✭✭✭✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!I don't think it's ugly, but I don't know why it's there. Expecially for non-magical melee characters it's unwanted.0 -
Stoltverd✭✭✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!Such persistance, so bumpy0

No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!
Just want to say thank you ZOS for removing this from first-person. Good enough for me!
Long-term, toggles for all of these glowing feet and bows and shields would still be nice.2 -
BenLocoDete✭✭✭My wishes have been granted as well, thanks ZOS for the removal of the shield, although a toggle would be welcome, I don't like it for 3rd person either

Stoltverd✭✭✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!What are you guys talking about? it's still there. In third person AND in first person. You seem to be experiencing a bug... ONE I WANT!!! T-T0
-
Stoltverd✭✭✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!i envy you so much...
Really... You have no idea...
it's a shame however that both of you seem to be an isolated case and its just for first person (tho i would NEVER leave first person in that case)0 -
No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!They answered in ESO Live today that they would be removing it from first-person view. Presumably coming in a future patch.1

Stoltverd✭✭✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!I just don't get why don't they make it a toggle in both views...0

Stoltverd✭✭✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!Also... Does that mean that we'll see everyone else using it?

They need to make it a toggle for both views. Removing it from one mode and keeping it in the other, is just inconsisent and basically forcing people into 1st person if they don't like the shield.Edited by Kendaric on July 9, 2016 8:53AM1 -
slumber_sandb16_ESO✭✭✭✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!Add a toggle to disable it.0 -
Stoltverd✭✭✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!And a toggle for others!!!
Other people may keep it...
But seeing it on others is also immersion breaking.0 -
No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!If I had to guess, they're just disabling it in first-person because it's easy to implement. Having different animations for first & third person view are already coded into the game, and 2.4.0 originally had no indicator in first-person view, so the coding work is done. AFAIK nowhere in the game are combat animations toggleable-by-person; for instance, you can toggle your helmet or mount upgrades off, but those are universal, everyone sees that change. I imagine implement a person-specific toggle for a combat animation would require a good chunk of new coding. All the other toggles in-game are all GUI-based, not combat animations.
So I'm happy with this compromise for now, and it's good to know they're listening, but I still think it would be worthwhile long-term to add options to disable ALL these combat indicator animations. This game has a lot of roleplayers and immersion-focused players, and it would be great if ZOS showed them some love on the UI customization front by redirecting some of the resources that had worked on other UI elements like SCT, nameplates, etc.1 -
Stoltverd✭✭✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!I agree this is better than nothing...
But I won't settle for the scraps!
If it's oh so hard to make it a toggle... Remove it completely.
It was already in in PvP. Where its actually useful. In PvE it serves no purpose except when you are doing a dungeon, and then it just allows you to call *** on those that say they are blocking when not...
A *** totally useless feature that no one asked for and no one wanted!!!! And to add to that... Why call *** on those guys? Probably they really though they were blocking. But OK. Let's say they are all trolls and you are *** so you can't use the report button so the indicator is really needed a n dungeons... Did they have to ruin the rest of the PvE experience because of dungeons????
Also we can't settle for this scrap!!!! As you said, the coding was already done so they don't have to do *** to remove it from first person...
If we settle for this, we will never see a toggle for the bow heavy attack indicator, or the stamina glow on rolls, or this!!!! They'll go "we listen to the community. We did what you asked. Stop complaining"
My country is *** up because my people settle for scraps thrown by the government. I won't. This is a halfassed solution, a lazy one and a bad one. If you can't make the toggle everyone is asking for... Remove it completely.
No one asked for it, no one wanted it. And those few that like it now won't really miss it later because it wasn't needed!!!!
If it was needed, people would have asked for it in the time the game has been out!!!!

Stoltverd✭✭✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!That patch had the potential to be the best... Poison, DB, Kvatch... Etc.
But they had to ruin it with unnecessary, unwanted and untoggleable "features".
Bow heavy attack indicator, blocking indicator, account name at the side of character name (why have *** character names at all then?).
Are you really happy with this " compromise"?
It's like if you were aa starving peasant, ask for food for 2 months, the king throws you a half eaten chicken leg (while he continues feasting) and you *** worship him.0 -
Stoltverd✭✭✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!
@ZOS_JessicaFolsom please. A word?0 -
No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!I think it should stay. We should also get a personal AI installed into our armour that says "you are blocking" because lets be honest, we're all too stupid to know when we're blocking.
We should also receive a confirmation in the mail that we are blocking, much like the one that reminds us we are cp160 because we always forget.1 -
Niastissa✭✭✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!If you have played on the PTS you must have seen the new visual clue for blocking. It looks like this:
(picture posted by @Aleraon )
Do you want this thing to go live? Or do you also find it terribly ugly and immersion-breaking to have this weird shield thing come up whenever you block, no matter which weapon you are using? Feel free to explain your reasons.
The shield being raised or my swords being crossed is all that is required.1 -
Stoltverd✭✭✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!Something I just realized (because I never use shields in any game). What's the point of designing cool shields or using them if you are going to get them covered by this thing?

ContraTempo✭✭✭✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!IMO every time they add a new feature or take away an old one they should first stop and think, "Wait...should we make this a toggle?" Assume the answer is always YES unless there is a compelling reason not to.

✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!I would like if they completely disabled it, making the game more visually appealing and realistic. A toggle would be good at the very least, however.With cold regards,

SEE?????????
@ZOS_JessicaFolsom please!!! Disabling it only in first person mode is not the answer!2 -
Kendaric✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!@ZOS_GinaBruno: Now that you've removed it from 1st person mode, can we please get a toggle for it and the other "christmas tree" effects (dodge roll, glowing arms/weapons from buffs) in 3rd person mode?
It's really annoying and immersion-breaking.0 -
Kendaric✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!@Kendaric it hasn't been removed yet. We were promised that... Ok not even promised.
but it hasn't happened yet. And tbh... it's a halfassed solution as i stated before.
Are you sure? The patch notes hint at it, though I've not tested it yet as I refuse to play in 1st person mode.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭No, I don't want it. At least make it an optional setting, please!So many comments and nothing. Looks like another crap change is here to stay.0
