    I agree in theory, but part of the point here is that console players probably won't get the chance to have any add-ons, and some of them provide really useful functionality.

    That's a different subject altogether. It doesn't mean we need to have add-ons included in the PC UI, the facility for that already exists. The default UI is fine as it is for the PC, if it needs to be varied for the consoles then that's fine but no need for it to affect the PC version.

    Besides which, I don't find a need for any add-ons with the PC version and wouldn't therefore be needing any if were to play the console version, but that's just my personal preference which is all any of us is being asked to provide here.

    it's likely the console UI is going to have MORE features than the PC version.

    That would be pretty pathetic and the rage of PC users that awakens would never run out lol

    That rage may just be awoken...

      Has there been any improvements to the console UI that has adopted popular add-ons features? I.e. sorting/organizing features, permantly marking junk items, DPS meters (optional of course) or other quality of life features?

        There will absolutely be numerous useful updates to the console UI, and some of the updates are based on popular PC add-ons. For example, a lot of the functionality in the "Loot Drops" mod is a part of the console UI by default. There are others add-ons we have drawn inspiration from as well, but I'm calling this one out specifically because I really like it.

    So why the **** are PC players forced to sort it all out themselves with this piece of **** UI system? I give up lol.

    I guess it's true, PC players payed paid so console players can have a better game, all resources away from PC version.

    fixed it. :lol:

    Payed = simple past tense and past participle of pay, also used in old french and was in the english language way before paid was, it was also used in nautical terms.

    Also I am British so we don't have to spell english correctly. Paid is known to be correct nowdays but that's not our fault Americans butchered the english language and the whole world revolves around them. :P

    *facepalm* I read your sentence as "PLAYED" with an "L". I wasn't fixing your spelling... I thought it was a different word. lol.

    Ok... RE-RAIL.. lol. I'm actually really interested to see how the console will handle emotes. I know the ESO Theater is a pretty useful addon for "button-emote" type capabilities.

    It would be nice to have a sort of radial wheel or something for emotes.

    Maybe one day ZOS will add some of this much-needed functionality that we paid to beta test to our PC version as well.

    pretty much all my addons, 14-17 should be built into the game, I wouldn't even play without them,

    skyshards
    lorebooks
    Foundry tactical combat ui
    destinations
    minimap by fyrakin
    harvestmap with esohead merge lua files

    my list is large but I'll stop there, at the bare minimum, skyshards and lorebooks mandatory.

    All mmos are a work in progress, this statement is palm to face for me. No mmo is ever complete when there is money involved, competition, and demands from consumers.

    Were they going to hire an army of monkeys to test? or were they going to release their baby and learn from the experience.

    Not all MMOs claim to be subscription-based because such a model allows them to provide quality content to their subscribers, then out of nowhere switch to a B2P model just when the game is getting released on consoles--along with some desperately needed UI functionality that people have been begging for for almost a year now.
