Till now the list of console addons is kinda small
https://mods.bethesda.net/en/elderscrollsonline/all

Are there more addons planned ?
Are there incentives planned to encourage the addon dev´s to create some / make them aviable for consoles ?

I know quite a few addons which are super handy on PC, wich arent included in that list yet.
I get its new - but would still be nice if we could get the same as PC :smile:

    Well, I know in the past, some addon authors stated they weren't even going to make their PC addons controller compatible... some saying they weren't due to not owing a console and so wouldn't be able to test it. So that probably applies to direct console addons themselves. I don't know how the development works, but I imagine if you don't own a console, it would be very hard to make a console addon if you couldn't even test it yourself.

    There was addon developer in another thread, he said they are ll waiting on something called "libaddon 3.0" or whatever its called, without it, they have to make their own UI, with it, they dont have to, apparabtly there is a massive difference in how much they have to work.

    Once that one is out, they can make every addon that is also available on PC including Combat metrix (dps tracker of everyone) right now there is a personal dps tracker out on console i see.

    I for one cant wait for DPS meter, ive had far to many runs in pug vets these last days, with dps using resto staffs, dps having more HP then me, who is the tank with 36k hp, themed subclass builds that deals 0 dmg, (i can tell because boss HP is barely moving) dps doing nothing but light attacking, and worse, there are even those, who we hsve to rez so many times thst its easier to kill the boss when they are dead, because the other dps have to stop dpsing 24/7 to rez the one who cant stay alive for 5 seconds. For too long console dps players have been getting away with beeing 100% carried.

    So you're just going to do what? Harass them in chat while they're trying to enjoy the game because their dps isn't at 130k? If anything will hurt the population and increase queue times even more, it's players who utilize these tools to inflate their ego over those who may not be as educated and/or as skilled by months or years of practice.

    Not going to harass them at all, i help players finish vets all the time, probably far more then you do, but u probably dont know when you join group content, you are working together as a team, i respect my teammembers enough to not que as a dps with resto staffs and light attack builds, turning a 20 min dungeon into a 3 hour prog becsuse they just want to have fun.

    But i can let them know, yo, u just did less damage then the tank, if you plan on joining lep seclusa vet, maybe not come in here heavy attacking with a resto staff (happenened today, completely wasting my time dragging them to the 2nd boss, where they died 24/7 in addition to 0 dmg, and THEY left the group because they where bored of wiping.

    All i need is 1 player able to pull 100k dps and i can do every single vet no healer on my tank, me and my friend have no problem duo pugging together and hlp poeple with vet clears they dont have, but we meet some people who put so little effort into a group activity, even though we are there to help, it borders to just straight out disrespect towards the team they need to be slapped by hard evidence of their lack of effort. Xbox EU is not that big of a server and i see the same players destroying vet runs for several years now

    The circular minimap add-on apparently doesn't work on console. See this thread: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/679489/console-xbox-addons-release

    Language packs also seem to be an issue.

    Sounds like you need to find 2 more friends who play like you to pug with instead of with randoms who you think are "being disrespectful" by not playing your way. Usually I don't have issues with pugs, even with light attackers, especially if we have a good tank with buffs...

    Also, "than" is the word you're looking for when you're making comparisons.

    There are no incentives right now, although a few months ago ZOS did say they'll look into it. But you can also donate to those who do ;)

    There is a way for PC devs to test console compatibility on PC, although it's not perfect.

    Some devs are not going to convert - we all do this in our free time, so some just won't have the time. Or it might be too much work to convert or not make sense on console.

    Gamepad isnt used by a ton of people on PC, so before there wasn't strong reasons for addons to support controller UI. But with console add-ons there are now many more people, so some who wouldn't do a controller UI before might do so now.

    LibAddonMenu is used by 90% of PC addons to do a settungs menu, and it currently does not support console. However there is another settings menu library which does, and a basic auto conversion for it. So that add-on dev waiting for LibAddinMenu 3 might still do console, just with the other settings library.

    Ah yes, internet gaming forums, the place where perfect grammar is the gold standard in long rants done on the phone. lmao, u know what they say about people who attack the grammar right?

    I have plenty of friends to play with, but i also like to pug vets every now and then, when i do, i dont expect amazing dps, but i expect dps enough to finish the dungeon they qued for, i go in there as a tank with full buff sets

    Im shure you never have any issues in ur base game vets, but i have legit been stuck in LoM 4th boss, because the dps was so low, they could not kill stranglers in a normal tempo, if you cant kill stranglers, the dragon will never land, and you can end up fighting stranglers for eternity. I ran in circles draging hoarvors away from selene for 20 mins while the 2 dps was fighting stranglers, the dragon did not land even 1 time. I did not leave, tbey did becuse they where bored, the 2 "play their own way for fun" dps left mid fight because they where bored, leaving me and the healer who dragged them through the longest LoM i have ever had to eat crap

    This has nothing with me wanting them to "play my way" why do i have to explain the difference for you? This should not be difficult to understand, they where doing such a bad job, it was game mechanicly impossible for me to progress the dungeon. It was a dps check, u know some dungeons have them yes?

    Nope, the BASIC auto conversion is way too BASIC and doesn't work for my addons so I'll wait for LAM 3.

    Since consoles have limitations, add-on devs can't just copy paste the code from the PC version.
    The code needs to be adapted/re-written according to console specs.
    It takes time.

    Give it time, I'm sure devs will start putting out more now that they can actually test their work on console.

    Simple Skyshards and Zone Map Icons work well and don't require any lib's installed.

    The biggest issue I have, currently, is that the Market Trader add-on is messing up somehow. I tell it to install, and it just does the circling symbol thing like it is downloading, then it goes back to nada. However, when backing out, it wants to reload UI even though nothing changed.

    There's something glitchy about it right now. Needs to be fixed.

    Great. Combat metrics could come to console.

    Not looking forward to that increasing toxicity & ego maniacs who think the only thing that matters is dps.

    Can you still opt out of sharing your data? Because otherwise is a privacy violation.

    There is no privacy violation if you hit "Agree" to the TOS, which is what you have to do before you can even play.
    I agree, the dps tracker is not something that should be allowed, personal dps tracker is fine, but the toxicity in the game is already bad enough. Thankfully, we have the auto chat banning thingy (AI or not) so that could filter out the toxicity if these types feel the need to express their feelings about other player's deeps.

    ToS for ESO is not the same as for an add on not supported by Zos.

    I don’t particularly my game play being put on Youtube just because I’m in a group with someone, but I have to accept that apparently.

    But why do I have to allow an add on I haven’t chosen to use to have access to my game?

    You dont need to be in the group tbf. If the people require it, they require it. I require discord using for my guild. If people dont want that, they can not join. There are other guilds then (thought not for what we are doing in pvp lol)

    Actually it's not a violation of your privacy since the base game provides for that information to begin with. If you whisper someone in game, the AI chatbot reads that, so there is no "privacy" in the game.
