ETA On Buff Timers for Console?

Paneross · January 2017

@ZOS_GinaBruno a few months ago you said sooner that later. Can we please get an update?

That was just something they said to get us to be quiet.

But but it was in Green text so it must be true!

Im guessing summer 2017

PurifedBladez · January 2017

Summer 2017.. gtfo. Pvp will be even worse off then. Probably have to poke it with a stick to see if it's still kickin.

If this game doesn't give Pvp some love and fast it'll be rip for me. The constant lag, procs, ridiculous abilities are starting to do a number.

For everyone. Id love to be able to stop running some of the addons i have. I was glad to take out the Scrolling Combat TexT. Id love to take out the biff tracker. Oh and the one that makes the guild trader interface decent. I can dream!

Prob best to ask specifically what they're adding instead of when it's coming.

This is really the only thing I'm missing on consoles. Buff / Debuff / DoT timers on me and my enemies.

That and a specific search function for guild traders.

How are you missing what you've never had?

They'll add it the same day world peace is achieved.

DRXHarbinger · January 2017

Dot timers can *** off as well. You are plain noob if you need dot timers.

Lambert said his goal was to bring the lower end players closer in the line to the middle.
Guess what, this falls right in with that. If you dont need it, then no change for you!
If it helps less skilled players become accustomed to their rotation, perform better, even if only marginally, that keeps them playing which mean the game sticks around.
I'm all for that.

Would buff timers fall into the " Raise the floor " category?

I had those things on the PC version and want them for consoles now. There is absolutely no point in having the buff / debuff timer in your character display tab but not on screen when you're fighting.

If you cannot see when your LL or woe is ending then you've got issues. People need to stop making excuses for sucking plain and simple. It's not "skill" it's just paying attention. Turn the stupid dubstep crap / YT cat videos off and look at what you're doing. How do you think the dro m'artha destroyer guild got the title a very long time ago? They just plain paid attention and focused and practiced again and again. Having poxy little icons isn't going to make you any better.

Glitches like we had on the weekend turn up as work gets rushed when noobs cry out for stupid crap like that.

Seraphayel · January 2017

You can't pay attention to HoTs ticking on every group member (especially not when you need to manage 2 or 3 of them), when you're proccing skills or when you need to rebuff / debuff your group or the enemy. Some things don't even have effects anymore so it's impossible to track them without going into your character screen and checking for them.

Buff timers would be amazing, well overdue. I know I definitely overcast certain abilities where the visual effects are not overly clear, a problem I didn't have when I was playing on PC.

I think the damage numbers they built into the game could use some tweaking as well, or at least tweaking it with the option for the individual to customise what they do/don't see. It would be nice to have a description of the damage/healing as well as the number.

I would love this on ps4. As a mag sorc, it is hard to see cfrags proc and hear curse go off, especially when the other 4-5sorcs are doing the same. I don't even care if it has a timer just give me an icon when it active or not

Well I know most of the PS4 players who beat Vet Maw the first time, and all of them I have talked to all agree they want trackers added to ESO's HUD options. They get by with using the spammable of their rotations to help know when effects are roughly about to fall off, since not all DOTs, Buffs, Debuffs, and so on have visible indicators.

Also note that if you want to get the most out of a rotation, it needs to be done in a way that effects are not clipped, and re-upped right as there are falling off, not after they have. DPS is damage per second, so letting a DOT for example slip for even a second is a DPS loss, and doing it multiple time in a fight is a considerable DPS loss. The best way to manage this optimally is to have a timer or tracker that shows how much time is left on an effect.

The majority population wants this. Just make it so you can turn it off and on for all the elites. (We all know they will use it, but will deny doing so.)
