UI Update And Customization Needed

MeridianKnight
I enjoy the look of the UI features, for the most part, but they are locked in placed and in an annoying fashion. There is also a lack of basic features for an MMO.

Needed Changes:
  • Complete Movable UI and individual scaling on each piece
  • Health, Stamina and Magicka bar always visible (I have an OCD concerning this and it bothers me that it fades away. Thankfully I can set my toolbar to not do that)
  • Minimap added (Even a basic one is better than none)
  • XP Tracker (Something I can put on the screen for looking at XP per point or showing %)
  • Multi-quest tracker
  • Buff and Debuff Tracker (These should be separate and moveable)
  • Target Buff Tracker
  • Combat Numbers flying text (Even if off by default, this would be convenient to see during combat)
  • Optional Toggle for any of the above features that people don't want to use


Most of this is standard in an MMO, like movable UI, and some go beyond the standard, like individual scaling of each UI piece. However, the UI needs an overhall and having more optional features is better.

I get that player made add-ons do a lot for this. I know since I use a few that do these things. Unfortunately they are clunky and make the game run horrible depending on the one you use - or combination of them to get basic features.

Please create a proprietary interface that functions properly with the game and incorporates mmo standards that people enjoy using. For anyone who doesn't want them, they should be able to deactivate, but for the rest its not even there without having to have an add-on that makes the game run sub-par.

    Guess you are console player like me. And YES, I completely support your needs. And these arent even special UI needs, I think these should be basic.

    PC player, but our games are mostly the same with the exception of us being able to do add-ons (Not sure if console can use add-ons), and they make the game run/load slower. Lot of the add-ons like the map don't update properly at times and I have to reload the UI. It works when we have nothing else, but its still irritating that we have to rely on 3rd party stuff.

    I also hate that our mouse toggle does nothing except resize chat window and add chat tabs :-1: You can't mouse over enemies in the distance or click on abilities in your window. There are basic PC features that aren't there concerning the mouse, but I'll overlook that a bit since it was intended as a console port as well. However a lot of these features mentioned above can be added to console as well so there isn't much of an excuse to not have them :(
