I don't understand...isn't this the sort of thing Mythic is encouraging? I thought they wanted player addons.

Ugh, I don't like this stuff. WoW was such a script /mod fest and you were really at a disadvantage if you did not have them. They finally realized that 3 years later and started curtailing them.

I don't mind a few player designed mods as long as it does not get in the way of pure skill.

...might as well have the game play itself for you. we'll see how it goes though...although letting the carebear training wheels mod community have this much freedom is a bad idea, just as it was in wow.

thank you, thats my entire point I am making on VN and other places

Skinning the UI (colors, Icons, information that does not help with DIRECT combat) is one thing

a bloody "script mod" that auto targets players so people can heal them is something that cannot be allowed

[LeMieux]

Are you saying that you want them to take away the ability for people to script? Which by virtue of being there, they are allowing?

Anyway, I don't think it'll be all that big of a deal honestly. RVR is entirely too massive. Individual actions weigh far less than group actions, so scripts will play a far smaller role than in a game like WoW.

yes, I think it is a Royal screw up on their part. we are not even live yet and this crap is starting. this is the icing on the cake tonight for me with the server list that was published today.

and what of us that are going to run 6v6s? hell.. if they get these hooks working with Warbands? what about sernerios? tactical advantage there for sure

[Llyweln]

Even for non 6'ers, its sad....would be afk hot bots...cant see much fun in that at all.

I guess so, I can't really bring myself to care all that much. If it comes to a point where I need a script for an edge, I don't mind using it. Maybe it's because I'm not all that great a player.

I'll get you a screenie of my daoc UI in a sec.. forgot my hosting site PW :P

and I'll start showing my WAR ui right now


edit:

here is my UI from Daoc ... i would consider it a massive reskin, the extra buttons in the upper left gave info (RR points, crafting data, etc), the only reason the lower right bars are there was that was the bear minium I could get with that UI. Icons are old school.. not those barfbag ones they made later on. main bar 1 -sub bars 2 and 3 had timer abilities I needed hotkeyed, the two bars under the main bar were for long timers and a few clickable things I needed. hell.. there was an option with that UI I had to feed a Windows Media player window into the UI to watch movies while playing


here is the start of my WAR UI Skin

notice the clean up of the targeting windows, etc?


these kinda things I got no issue with.. they are just a reskin.. but self aware targeting mods.. BAD
