Addon for extended info in the group frames wanted

Hello all,

I have a somewhat specific question.

I like the standard group display with the 4 slim red life bars, but I would like to be able to see the class symbol (not so important) and especially the (CP) level of my teammates in the line where the char name is. So I'm not interested in changing the appearance, but just to have 1 or 2 information more in view.

Not more - not less. No bells and whistles, no colored life bars, numbers in absolute or percent, nor anything else. This confuses me, after I learned in Stadia to get along almost completely without addons. The more streamlined and original the UI is, the more relaxed I can play with it. :)

Does anyone know a suitable addon? (alternative Group Frames and Co. I have already been through, but I find them too bulky, because they do not only add info, but change the whole look of the Group Frames).

    Votan provides some Group addons changing the vanilla Ui group frames. Dunno the name anymore but if your search for votan you should find it.

    Or search for Group, at Minion or www.esoui.com addon search.
    I think there was something with group frame in the name too.

    Thanks for trying to help me. I already looked through all group and unit frames addons on ESOUI. Anything, that only changes the text of the existing (vanilla) group frames, seems not to exist.

    However I have been thinking about my request myself and found out, that the info I wanted does not help me in the way I thought it would do. The idea was to be able to predict, if the group finder matched me with noCP, (probably beginners) lowCP (maybe not much experienced) or highCP (experienced but probably "runners").

    Meanwhile I found out, that this does not make any difference while playing with PUGs. Even a noCP-Char can be an alt of a highCP Player, who may start rushing through the dungeon. On the other hand there are highCP player, that will help and/or wait patiently, too (e.g. doing quest oder struggling with an unknown mechanic).

    Exactly. In normal dungeons, you can have experienced players on a low level char that absolutely pull their weight and you can have 2000cp bow light attack spamming "tanks". Still, I like some additional information and a yet clean UI. I have a (probably very) outdated version of FTC which still does it for me. But it changs the UI a bit more than what you are asking for.

    Haha you wouldn't believe me how many cp1000+ chars I played with who did not see red fields, didn't know what interrupt is or even had any idea ESO uses boss mechanics...so many simple and idiotic dmg raise players who grinded dolmens for CPs,and cannot play in group at all.they somehow do not know how to,or that it's even possible to,port on group m8s :-)
