Your Magicka, Health, and Stamina bars will now remain visible - Do you like it?

SilentRaven1972✭✭✭✭NoIt really should be optional. Bad enough they made the enemy health bars narrower and harder to see (the ones above their heads), but now I have giant stat bars taking up my visual space. DO NOT WANT!"Such is the nature of evil. Out there in the vast ignorance of the world, it festers and spreads. A shadow that grows in the dark. A sleepless malice as black as the oncoming wall of night. So it ever was, so will it always be. In time all foul things come forth." -Thranduil1 -

Oh the irony of you asking for options.
Anyway, this does need to be optional. This particular problem does not bother me. That being said, I need to ensure most, if not all, UI configurations are optional so I can have my buff timers and damage numbers on console without interrupting the play of those who do not like them. ZOS listen to the people. We want information, communication and option...ation.

Thanks @J2JMC I am actually a supporter of a more robust UI so long as those are options, and not forced upon anyone. I maybe should have been a bit clearer, but I'm not asking for the change to be reversed at all, as this thread has pointed out - many people like it, I would just like to have the option of when this happens. Seems silly to now have an option to turn your health bars off that doesn't actually work
I'll be quite happy when ZOS adds things such as an on screen buff tracker, means one more add-on can go, and I can just switch it on when I head to dungeons Lone Wolf HelpFor the solo players who know, sometimes you just need a hand.PC | NA | AD-DC-EP | Discord0 -
Morimizo✭✭✭✭✭NoI really don't like this at all; there was no need to have them permanently clutter up the immersive HUD; food/drink effects always were clearly signaled when they ended, by the bars appearing, shrinking, then going away.
Not only that, if for some reason I didn't notice the visual, I could just tell from the difference in combat (one extra hit to eradicate a standard mob, i.e.).
PLEASE give us the option to disable this.2 -

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.
It would probably be possible to disable them with an addon. Though that won't help console players much.

Araxleon✭✭✭✭✭YesOptions are nice.
I do think it should START with this turned on when you make a character as this is VERY useful for a new player, and if they want it off they can have it in the options to turn it off. (but keeping it on has many benefits)
after all the UI is extremely minimal alreadyEdited by Araxleon on September 1, 2015 11:20PM0 -

I actually think the same @Araxleon . I saw someone mentioned they didn't care if it was off by default, but I think on by default would be much better. Many people don't read patch notes (or do and miss a couple) so having it on lets people know its available. If they don't like it, I bet they will look for a way to turn it off (like I did)Lone Wolf HelpFor the solo players who know, sometimes you just need a hand.PC | NA | AD-DC-EP | Discord0 -

@MissBizz. Exactly the reasoning I have for most options. If you don't like them, they can always be toggled on or off, dependent on if you do of course ! -First-Wave Closed Beta Tester of the Psijic Order, aka the 0.016 percent.
