QDMcGraw Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 There is a problem with 3rd Party UI's, and that's simply 'player created content'. At first this doesn't seem to bad, but there are major problems with this. Let me use a different word for player: 'hacker created content'. For all those that have been hacked, the first thing you are told to do is delete all 3rd party UI's. There's a reason for this, they sneak keystroke sniffers into their code and get into your account this way. That is the ONLY reason I am against them. I think some are remarkable and others are downright genius. The problem is, anyone can download them, change the code a tad and upload them back to the provider of UI's and whammo! Hacks gone wild!

JustTed Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) Then the game will remain unplayable for people with eyefinity or nivida surround. Now try to think like a corporation. I don't know the numbers, but I'll hazard a guess that "people with eyefinity or nvidia surround" is like twelve guys.

Cytheria Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I just want to be able to re-size and re-position every single UI element. I'd rather have this a feature of the game rather than a 3rd party modification. this tbh.... Plus in all honesty I'd prefer they paid devs to work on bugs and features that benefit the whole community (ie content, expacs, etc) rather than implementing and supporting a half dozen modders and a few hundred users that can't follow a walkthrough guide and install said mod without knackering their client.

I have never had an issue with any mod for any game. I have downloaded many gigs of user created content of various types. If you can't handle figuring out what websites to avoid, what not to download and how to make sure that files are safe. Someone needs to turn off your internet.

At least tell us which ones we should avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Warcraft, it is IMPOSSIBLE for a UI modification to "steal" keystrokes from your log in box. It's not that it may be improbable or unlikely, it is not possible in any reality you or any one else can imagine. The game simply does not function in that manner and NEVER HAS, even when you could use Glue.XML to change your log in screen. If you think clicking an EXE file is a UI mod, then you shouldn't be using your computer. Take out a knife and stab it in your throat and cut off your hand.

The only place you should ever download UI modifications from is either Curse.com or wowinterface.com (wow only, obviously). Curse.com, if you haven't heard of them, you shouldn't be playing MMO's I personally refuse to use addons that are not available on Curse or wi, even if you can download them from the developers own site.

_Verja_ Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Ah, more clueless rabble. It's ok, you keep believing you know exactly how these things work. No he's right. It really is impossible for LUA coded AddOns to steal your info. You have to be unaware of your download and just smash keys on a website called "GOLD4U/HAKKEYS.COM" Then again I'm not really all that surprised that people don't know that LUA code can't keylog. There are a lot of people who think that UI addons are the same ones that people use to bot or hack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of people who think that UI addons are the same ones that people use to bot or hack. I wrote a few addons myself for original wow that thousands of people used. it's amazing how retarded they can be. One addon I wrote was a modified roll tracker (forgot the original name). I modified it to work as a loot tracker with rolling capability for pugs. People claimed that i hacked wow with the addon and caused people to roll 100 at will. fantastic stuff.

Amiracle Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I know there will be a mod that lets you move all your bars around that is the most important mod for me to actually get this game playable. After that I would not care that much what mods pops up. But I would like something similar to GRID and Perl Classic unit frames from WoW. You cannot play the game? Really? I would demand my money back if I had bought a product that doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Official Update Regarding Virus Spread Through Rotating Ads Recently Curse became aware of users receiving a virus from an advertisement Curse sites had in rotation. Read on for details regarding the steps we have taken to resolve this matter. And you think the user mods wil be virus free? Its all use at your own risk.

Crazier Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) In EQ2 most players used 3rd party UI's such a profit or fetish nightfall all available through one site EQ2interfce.comTheses are not add ons but replaced the default UI completely and because the Ui's where made by the comunity they pretty much had what the players wanted and need to make the UI a help and not a hindrance.Also i would like to see the maintained buff window separate from debuff window and target window.it would also be good if we could hit targets through another player and indirect heal so that healers can target the mob but heal the group member the mob is targeting rather than themselves.

Valkirus Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Well....I would never use any addon mod for the UI in this game. I donot use one in WoW and never have.

Khoryphos Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Download pitbull for wow and check it out. It makes BW's attempt at ui customizaton a joke. Or X-Perl:) The point is that mods add a ton of options and function to the UI, The Dev team doesn't have to burden themselves with those types of projects nearly as much, and other MMOs have proven that the community is more than willing to write the mods to get the features they want. Why not support mods in the UI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
