Why does gamepad mode show loot on the left? (It covers chat)

MissBizz · March 2016

Maybe I'm crazy, but it feels weird seeing the loot on the left. It's also annoying to have to move my chat. Does anyone else feel this way? Is there an add-on to change it? Lol I never ever used controller but for some reason wanted to tonight.. And that really bugged me.

Yes, the chat box definitely interferes with this. Also the bounty window too. It's a pretty bad spot IMHO.

Yeah... I could have swore when I played the game on PlayStation it was on the right... But I haven't played on there for awhile. Ah well. Found me an add-on to show PlayStation icons instead... And going to see if azurahs add-on will work to move it... I really hope so

It was a real oversight I think - Obviously whoever suggested moving it to the other side didn't think about gamepad UI being used on PC as well as Console. As far as I can tell it wasn't even moved to make room for anything.

I LOVE playing with my controller when I'm questing, but it's so irritating to have the chat and the bounty/loot interfering with each other.

They really should move it back, especially if text chat is coming to console.

It's always been on the left on consoles....but yep it's an issue but consoles don't have text chat boxes {yet...} and no add-on options

Thanks @NewBlacksmurf I wasn't super sure it was on the right, so I definitely believe you. This is a big issue with PC, and if console chat is in the same spot I think it will be an issue too. I hope ZOS looks into this soon.

So much is going to be a huge problem when they add console text chat. This will be minor by comparison but...who knows, maybe they just don't have the talent. I stopped saying it was an oversight and start believing it was an intentional decision as it's the best they have to offer.
