Th Block Icon

So when are we going to have a toggle to hide the ugly non-min UI icon for blocking? Better yet, just remove it out of the game completely...

I don't think it can be made toggle able soon. It is a 3D model and part of the 3D space of the game, not the 2D UI. It can be made toggle able but will require time and effort more than ZoS can spare now.

I found this thread while trying to discover how to turn this feature off. Glad to see others would like to be able to turn it off as well. For the record, I am commenting to state that I too would love to see this option added.

I've owned ESO for less than a month so far, and I dearly love it! It's a gorgeous MMO with all the tools to really "live" in it as a role-playable, virtual world. Whenever possible, I turn off the HUD and nametags and fight from close, over-the-shoulder POV. It's very dramatic! However, the 3D block "icon" actually gets in the way of my view of the enemy and always lessens my feeling of immersion.

Everywhere in this game, I see so much attention to detail that I am in awe of the people who made and maintain it. I feel a particular amount of goodwill towards Zenimax/Bethesda and fully believe they take this kind of feedback seriously and will continue to refine everything they reasonably can. Thank you ESO!

I came to this thread also looking for a way to disable the silly block icon. For a Sorcerer class, it maybe makes sense... although it doesn't look very Sorcerer'y.

Why does it disappear in First-Person view, then? That would seem to imply that it can be (quite easily) hidden since exiting and entering FPV appears to toggle it on and off.

Probably because in FPV the icon blocks most of what you can see.

Heheh, see what I did there?
