I'm not 100% sure but I think I read zenimax will allow UI mods and nothing else like gear score and recount and the hundreds of them types of mods?

Just UI add-ons to best of my knowledge

There is a system for mods, but no one knows what will be allowed & what won't be allowed.

At the best guess, we can assume the mods will be for visual elements such as the UI etc.

Gear score just sounds terrifying to me. I assume it's to stop filthy casuals from playing unless they have the right gear?

Yeah I don't want gear score or recount or their other names here, brings out the worst in ppl. UI mods I don't mind, if the allow dmg meters t have them unlinkable to chat so only the user of the mod can see.

I'm honestly hoping for some kind of quest "helper" mostly for group questing.

Also a Ore and rune locator map would be nice. But that wouldn't be to bad if they didn't allow that, i did see after a certain lvl you get a Hiring to go around and mine for you whilst you're offline.

That is bad@$$!!!

mini-maps and points to runs and ore veins are just silly and takes away from the fun of exploring...

Ideas like that just makes me want to cry for the game

It would be nice, but i see what you mean. For me at least, TES and ESO is all about exploring and adventure, i guess im kinda on the fence about it.It kinda reminds me of WOW if we had mini maps with ore vines etc. Deep down, I'm hoping this game kills WOW and ends it for good.

blizzard killing it ATM with time travel

Recount was the reason I left the dps role. Not because I svcked. I was almost always one of the top three dps in 25 man raids in wow. The problem was that if I wasn't I almost wanted to punch my monitor. Nothing that stupid should make someone rage so hard. It does bring out the worst in people. It brought out the worst in me.

It does give people to focus on & to "perfect" their timings and rotations....

But it stops you having fun, and is one of those elements that takes you away from the immersion of the game and focuses all your attention to your keybinds.

ESO isn;t about 101 keys, keybinds, weaving or anything like that. Its a game for playing, adapting and anticipating.

There is a big difference in the gaming element that just makes all these typical MMO addons a bad idea.

You are describing a nightmare. I had no idea such programs existed. Reducing combat to numbers and ranks seems to be missing the whole point. Not for ESO. Please, never.

I can confirm that recount does indeed function in the API, and there are a few mods with this functionality already in beta. So far they ONLY show your own personal DPS/HPS, though, not those of your party or anyone else.

I don't think gearscore will exist (doesn't yet at any rate), but maybe later on. I don't see the point honestly, since I don't think their gear/stats system has a "score" system like some other MMOs use, aka Item Level.

Can you imagine?
