aznthecapn Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Not planned, not scheduled, but a possibility down the road. There's minimal discussion about it. As long as they implement necessary features (combat log, UI editing, etc) mods aren't needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krisagi Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 No and never will be, thank you for time it took to post this. *sarcasm* i just love how you can make a definitive statement like this and have no proof to back it up. *end sarcasm* the only people that can say whether or not the users can make addons are not going to be in game is not the players but the development staff. there has only been 2 games that the developers did not release an API for the users to make addons with and that was EverCrack with ShowEQ, and Asheron's Call with Decal.

djcreature Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 I don't have the exact post, but they did say that they were not going to allow addons in the game. Will look when I have more time to see if I can find the post. Yes it was a yellow post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krisagi Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) Actually, I believe they stated at the guild summit that there were no plans to support add-ons. they stated that at launch there will be no addon support not that there wont be any at all. Quote from TOR Wars With that in mind, it’s not too surprising that BioWare has no plans for addons at the release of Star Wars: The Old Republic. Here are Georg Zoeller’s words on the subject: “What we’ve said is, regarding the question ‘Will there be addons at launch’ is “no, not at launch”. This statement indicates nothing more than that there will not be addons at launch. Nothing more, nothing less.” Edited April 27, 2012 by krisagi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terminova Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 they stated that at launch there will be no addon support not that there wont be any at all. Quote from TOR Wars I doubt they are going to give the players the ability to create in-game add-ons after launch, either. The devs have access to the actual game code which means they can create better integrated tools than the players ever could without the players having to constantly ensure all of the add-ons are compatible with the most recent client version. That's one thing from playing WoW I don't miss: having to ensure all of my add-ons were updated after the patch which sometimes was a couple days or so depending on how fast the add-on author was about updating their add-on (some were faster than others).

patchew Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 oh gods no, no addons or even macros ... total game killers, in my opinion. im still on the edge about key bindings. why people cant play a game based on the original design, i'll never understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devlonir Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Agree with earlier posters. As long as important functionalities are eventually added, I would prefer for them to be developed by the ingame Dev team, then to be created by addons. I despise having to update all my addons every other patch and how one's success depended more on the addon you use and the macros you programmed than your actual play skill.

Plus if i tried having these fancy programs running while playing it would lower my FPS to unacceptable levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapWinterz Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 While im not a fan of addons and its not essential for gameplay and i can play it just fine, i'm not gonna be like the others saying "I don't use them so i don't wont them added" If people want to use them they should, if they change there mind and add the ability to use them, i will not use them but everybody plays the game differently so why punish people that want it because people dont want to ignore and not use it.

The Devs have already stated that they WONT be available as it takes the focus away from the game in regards to people actually having to PLAY THE GAME to win other than relying on third party mods to give them the edge (paraphrasing but thats the gist of it).

Galbatorrix Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) Why do we need addons? Unlike Blizzard, Bioware is doing the work themselves as they have to. Blizzard chose the more lazy design of "put it out bare bones and let someone else do the work". This has lead to hacks on peoples computer, addons making the game crash, unfair advantages for the people that used them over the people that didn't (forcing everyone to download third party software) etc. I'd much rather Bioware keep doing what they're doing. We wanted a a better cool down system, UI customization tool, GTN options, and combat logs.... well, we got them. And we didn't have to worry about our accounts being hacked by 3rd party software at all. Edited April 27, 2012 by Galbatorrix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGinger Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 i honestly believe that the depth and availability of Addons in WoW has contributed to it's success. They allow people to play how they want to without giving themselves an unfair advantage and even give older players something fresh when they start to get bored. I'm in full support of Addons.

Exactly! WoW never requires any add-on since it workds well as shipped. However, I play with at least 9 add-ons at all times. I like them because they make my experience changeable as I wish. Add-ons will not break a game, only make it more versatile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cairenn Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I'm not sure where everyone has seen them say that they won't allow addons, as I've seen the exact opposite. /shrug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
