Will PS4 ever display damage done like on the PC?

Flyersfan314 · September 2015

I would like to know how much damage I am doing as a tweak my build. Thanks.

Winterpsy · September 2015

I asked the same question.
The answer was: on PC they use add-ons to get that info.

Other than that? Possible, there's talk about more informative UI.

Groggpuffar · September 2015

They should also add the active buffs/debuffs to the game screen above the healthbar or something.
There is a active effects in the character screen but that's pointless: put it above the healthbar please!

the lack of combat information is so bad.
I just made a thread wondering how to even know when to cleanse/purge in pvp on console...IDK.
We'd never even know if something was broken, lol. I really wish i could see even when i Crit!

There is so much misinformation amoungst console players about combat mechanics b/c it is almost impossible to know what's what.
Testing is pointless, and i really think the only players that really have a clue what theyre doing are just the ones that have either played on PC or have watched and mimicked pc players videos as best they can.

It really does feel like playing a MMO blindfolded at times.

They need this and said its planned for the future

...but it definitely is better than endless discussions in every group or raid after or prior to every boss encounter that your DPSMeter stats are 2% off of the best DPS in the group and bla bla bla.

While I personally hate that we can't see buffs or debuffs that we have (which is absolutely stupid and shows that ZOS didn't give a s**t about console UI when they ported the game), I absolutely don't care about my dmg numbers, as long as we win the fight.
BTW: I know when I crit

With addons.

Remember, PC is the testbed for console. PC Add-ons are just ZoS crowd sourcing UI enhancements.

DezKoth87 · September 2015

They should also have a countdown above or on an active skill or buff so u know how much time is left and also to see that ur not over using an ability. Absolutely no reason it shouldn't be on there already.

Flyersfan314 · September 2015

Yes buffs and crits should be there too. Can those add ons be brought to PC?

NewBlacksmurf · September 2015

the PC version pretty much shows what console does.

You're referring to third party add-ons not ZOS add-ons that allow customers to see additional and other info.
Not sure if ZOS intends on providing changes to the UI like this but I've seen where they are considering some changes around this idea.

MissBizz · September 2015

ZOS has stated they are looking into/working on UI enhancements such as buff timers etc. Unfortunately it's not a clear cut list, nor has it been given a timeframe/release date. Seeing as some recent changes to PC were made to apparently match the console counterpart, I imagine that when these UI enhancements are added, they will be added to both platforms.

I would settle for ANY indication of actual XP numbers. On the PS4 it never tells you how much XP you've earned when you complete a mission, and there is no way you can see exactly how much XP your character has. the only indication of XP in the game is a tiny blue bar at the bottom right hand corner of the menu screen.

Doubtful. PC doesn't have Damage/healing meters either. We have to use an Addon for some of the best QoL features for the game. DPS meters, mail details on what's sold, item prices, guild store saved searches and what not.

Techlisp · September 2015

It is all a guessing game. Just makes it feel like a lightweight experience to me.

Dahkoht · September 2015

God I hope so , just to see the rage on the anti-text chat crowd on consoles when they want the option to not have them because of "mursion" , but don't want other people to have options of their own they desire.

mrdankles · September 2015

We need damage/healing numbers and buss/debuffs. Option to turn it on/off would be fantastic

OGLezard · September 2015

Those are addons we got on pc. ZoS didn't make it happen. They probably regret letting us have that addon because it revealed how broke everything was/is.....God I can only imagine what people on console will discover if they ever get numbers on screen. Heads would roll when they find out things aren't what they seem

Regarding cleansing, I guess they would say look at the heath bars. There are different appearances based on different buffs/debuffs.

Yeah, it is crazy that sale emails don't tell you what sold and from which guild store. Ridiculous. Must be painful selling on consoles.

Flyersfan314 · September 2015

Wow. i am pleasantly surprised with the amount of replies this post got. I really like this game, ZOS did a very good job and I hope they decide to make this game much better with add on like damage, XP, buffs, ect. Good to hear they have talked about it,

Groggpuffar · September 2015

I also want to see amount of health,magicka and stamina in %.

phillyproduct · September 2015

Agreed and i have about 50guild mates on ps4 who want this too

Asherons_Call · September 2015

I don't really care about damage numbers as that just turns into an e-peen competition at times. What I'd like is to see is XP numbers

phillyproduct · September 2015

everyone needs to see their own numbers so u can atleast see how your doing, a scorecard like dc universe would be nice
