    I can't confirm it, but yes, I also remember a statement that they were thinking about maybe adding some of the addon features that the PC has into the console UI (buff durations, etc...). Haven't heard anything about it since.

    Addons will never happen, but some of the most desirable features of addon's may be added into future UI upgrades.
    Everyone knows the phenomenon of trying to hold your breath underwater - how at first it's alright and you can handle it, and then as it gets closer and closer to the time when you must breathe, how urgent the need becomes, the lust and the hunger to breathe. And then the panic sets in when you begin to think that you won't be able to breathe - and finally, when you take in air and the anxiety subsides...that's what it's like to be a vampire and need blood.

    Which they will also have to add to the default PC UI because we have been asking for these basic features for over a year.

    Honestly, I love that the console doesn't get add-ons. People rely too much on them. The only thing I really want is damage numbers, exp gain numbers and healing numbers.

    So, you know, certain features from addons that are useful to you, but screw everyone else, because that's unnecessary. Right?

    What I'm talking about isn't add on stuff, it should be in the base game

    Like Research assist, achievement tracker, multiquest tracking, current HP/Magicka/Stamina pool values, buff trackers, advanced inventory filters, awesomeguildstore...

    I agree that a lot of the quality of life stuff from FTC and some of the other addons should be part of the base game. At the same time, I don't think any of us are in a position to say, "no you need to play the game exactly how I do."

    Except for AwesomeGuildStore... you need to try that. :P

    Not sure about what is on PC or not, just on console. I was thinking more add-on stuff like wow with their healbots and other stuff.

    Addons are just duct tape, PC or Console

    The features should be in the game to be turned off/on player's discretion

    If options weren't necessary, and everyone played the same way, no one would use addons. Fix the UI!

    Yeah, no, the addons are UI functionality. We're not talking about bots.

    I would hope at some point Zeni would do their own version of add ons and build them into the console UI with options. I think it would help the game in the end.

    After a couple characters I dont want to search for skyshards anymore or memorize where lorebooks are.. I did that enough on PC already.

    Certainly agree. Most of the combat based addons are features which rightly would pair with existing elements. Buffs and Dots with timers, then executes with visible target health percentages displayed for example.

    Supposedly addons were coming for the consoles... though that could be like how they were going to be able to play on XB1 without an XBL Gold sub.

    Search me. I don't know any more than you do... well, that's probably not true, but on this topic, at least.
