for a guy who went from 0 to 100 on the mad scale over the course of a page or two, i think my picture was appropriate. a rational person would wait to see zenimax's reaction to the outcry before declaring hes going full Utnayan on the game.More like:
and after your little show, turns out you pretty much agree with me anyway. well done sir.

Short-term buff and debuff information is no longer available, regardless of where it is or came from.
Probably the dumbest one.

that i can agree with you on. I should be able to see my buffs/debuffs as well as my cast bars(but not an enemies).

Not just your own, but if I cast one on a enemy or a friendly I should be able to see it. I did the casting. If I put a 30 second disorient on someone I want to see it ticking down on them. If I put a HoT on someone, I want to see it ticking down on them.
What's funny in their AmA the line they are using is "we don't want players to miss out on information if they dont use a addon". Yet they had all this in the default UI but removed it. IMO put it all in the default UI like you had it originally and give the option for the purist to turn it off, then they have no excuse as its a in-game, non 3rd party option they turned off. Then just let addons do cosmetic stuff.

Nope, everyone's a purist now. Get canabalized.
FWIW: They're making a huge mistake with these decisions.

If you go by the history of this industry, it always ends up being them trying to hide something broken.
Not even the most ridiculous shill can defend the timing of them taking them out.
Letting it fly until one week before launch gives me such great confidence in their future decision making.

FUTURE?! Not with this game. They really in all honesty bit off more than they could chew. Sometimes good ideas are just not so good.
I think they should have expanded more on the PVE which they are good at in single player. PvP is a whole new animal I don't think they were qualified to handle.
Firor slipped in a doozy today: They failed to finish adventure zones and there will be none in for launch.
I have a perverse fondness for when people do this sort of.. "oh wait were you expecting that to be in for release" bullshit drop. It cracked me up. The best part is how the tards at reddit were all like "no speech bubbles? NO SPEECH BUBBLES!" Um doofusses how about "No PVE ENGAME? NO PVE ENDGAME????"

All I know is I will be expecting to log in and play smoothly and lag free at 6am cst next Sunday morning.
Firor has promised it will be , thus it will be true............

LMAO. I love that movie.
They went too far. Like really too far.
I can understand the removal of some things. It can be argued that targeting someone and knowing everything about them before combat is too much info gained too easily. I can understand that, though I am not 100% sure I agree with it.
I can not understand taking away information about buffs and debuffs on you by other players or buffs and debuffs you put on someone else. That makes no sense. None at all. I also can't understand taking away the ability to see what type of damage is hitting you.
If the argument is that they want everyone to be on a level playing field and not have to downloads mods, then they really need to build this into the base UI. Yes, I get that it is an Elder Scrolls game but its also a MMO. Some of this information is desired and, in fact, needed by players.
So, their plan is to keep the PTS up after launch and use all the valuable feedback from the PTS testers that they have completely ignored to date to balance the Adventure Zones. All without Add-ons!!!!

I was a tad bit reluctant to cancel me pre-order awhile back but after following the AMA and testing things, I think the decision to see how things play out after launch is a much smarter move.
Good competition in this genre is desperately needed and playing a game because there is nothing else out there just doesn't feel right. I'm hopeful that in the next few months one of two things will happen, either Zenimax will finally listen to their testers and make some necessary changes or something else will be available to play and this can quietly sink off my radar.
Quite a shame considering the potential that AvA had, not to mention the Elder Scrolls series itself.
