they can make these bars visible all the time , but we dam if they put NUMBERS in them.....
Wait they didn't already have bars on PC? On Ps4 we always had big honking bars taking up the screen. The worse is if you use a purple food and now have 3 big honking bars cluttering your screen.
Which sucks, cause I took some nice screenshots and those damn bars blocking the view. Oh no text chat because immersion but freakin huge ass bars is acceptable
My screen:Game Stuff here================================ =============================== ==========================BARS OF LETTING YOU KNOW BUFFS ARE ACTIVE
Wow, I had no ideal. Whenever we eat/drink a buff item on console the bars are up the entire duration in or out of combat. Looks like Zos is trying to have a uniform UI across console and pc. You PC players better get use to no addons, no text and using voice chat next...I kid I kid, well maybe.

I read the patch notes.. twice. Yet I didn't seem to catch this.
I was online today when a guildmate mentioned their stamina and health bar never going away.. I also noticed my magicka and health never going away. I disabled all addons, removed the folder, all that jazz. Just to be told that this was an INTENDED change. (I must have missed it) Now, if you have an active effect (such as food buff) the stat (mag,stam or health) that it effects - the bar will NEVER go away. To the point of turning all healthbars in the game "OFF" it still will not go away.
It was mentioned upcoming changes to the UI will be completely optional. I would have REALLY enjoyed this to be optional. I never noticed in the PTS as I was in IC and always seemed to be in battle - not peacefully questing. As someone who plays certain characters with minimal UI (no quest tracker, no quest markers on some) I would really prefer that this be an option.
Do you like the new change?Your Magicka, Health, and Stamina bars will now remain visible while under an active effect, such as food buffs.
I am not too concerned since I am sure you will be able to change your settings through add-ons.
