Please tell me, with a clear single word answer, yes or no nothing else, whether the use of this addon is sanctioned by ToC:

http://www.esoui.com/downloads/info295-CancelCast.html

That is all. Please do not elaborate or explain anything. Just "Yes" or "No", definitive answer, no backdoors.

    Wow, you have some very specific demands... I'm sure all the ZoS devs will jump to answer your question!

    Sheesh. Did you even bother to try the add-on yourself to see if it works? Did you even bother to read the comments on ESOUI asking for the add-on to be updated... way back in JULY of 2014?

    I bet you're one of these guys who whips out the rulebook whenever you play Scrabble!

    Yes.

    Not official but ZOS said in a 'live' some time ago they ENCOURAGE cast cancelling.

    BTW, the word is sanctioned, sanctified means something entirely different. Just so you know. :)

    No. There is some sort of warning during installation that talks about how if you use addons and something goes south - it's on you.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.

    I do not really care for comments like yours, @Emma_Eunjung. Think whatever you like. At least you satisfied enough criteria in my personal rule book to have my signature apply to you.

    Thanks for the reply, @fromtesonlineb16_ESO but it's the simple yes or no from a official capacity that I would like to have.

    It's not something in relation to game performance, @newtinmpls and I am not satisfied with the ambiguous wording from the ToC. I want an easy, simple, dependable answer.

    Then perhaps I need to better understand your question.

    In part, my answer (my understanding) is slightly different if you:

    1-want to know if X addon is worthwhile in terms of "will this enhance my game experience"

    2-is 'safe' in terms of "will this harm or interfere with any other part of the ESO programming"

    3-is used and enjoyed/disliked by any of the ESO devs or peeps

    4-some other thing/combination that I haven't hit (or have only hit tangentially).

    What is it that you would like to 'depend on'?

    I'm still laughing, to be honest.

    The answer on my question. I will not elaborate further. The only thing that I want to know is that. Everything else I am quite clear on.

    heh heh. Backdoor.

    Also, why an addon when you can just hit block to cancel any cast that's not instant?

    Umm.. Why use an addon when pressing block button works the same?
    I'm done with this game because of ZOS pushing us into Vengeance, because they don't know how to fix Cyrodiil.

    Yes, I am aware of that.The reason for not further elaborating should be clear. Sadly, it is apparently considered a bannable offense to repeat the @ZOS-tags and the question, so I can't again state my humble request for an official statement.

    Usually, I would consider the absence of an official answer as silent approval. Maybe that is the bottom line. In a thread in the German forums, a player claimed that a game master upon being questioned on a possible exploit answered "it is not as long as you are not caught". I respectfully asked for clarification from ZOS, but that thread is similarly blessed with responses as this one.

    Silent approval as well?

    You can cancel casting spells by pressing the spell again or blocking for certain spells..

    Thanks for your participation, but as stated above I am mostly aware of the game mechanics like block cancelling. My request was put up just out of desire to know about the definitive and official stance on this add-on by ZOS.

    This is another thing I hate about this game. Every other game exploiting a mechanic by animation canceling would be a ban-able offense for good reason. Zenimax? Game on!

    Did you try blocking? Seriously.
    Using a specific key to cancel spells is less convenient and just as dependable as right-clicking.
    However, if you are using this add-on in conjunction with a macro or an exploit, it is most definitely a no-no.
