NoxiousAlby Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I dont know about the rest of the community, but i'm an extremely competitive gamer I agree SW is a change from the usual dwarves and elves but the difficulty level in this game probably wont satisy you. BTW addons arent necessary for Swtor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delonyer Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 It's funny, vanisle is so vehemently opposed to addons, but his arguments for not having them are the worst in the thread.. And most are strawmen anyway. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoxiousAlby Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Bottomline - people who are against macros are scared they'll be at a disadvantage against players who have experience using macros. Kinda selfish. Or you could say that "people who in favour of macros want an advantage over players inexperienced in using macros." Kinda pathetic Works either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkulous Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I would love a few addons or in-game additions. One like most a damage meter would be nice and second is an auctioneer type addon. Other Addons would be nice, but those two would be the first and foremost in my book. My first two would be a unit frame addon and a action-bar addon. I just want the ability to fully customize my UI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda selfish. Of course, being scared to experience something they've never experienced before is perfectly natural. But barriers must be broken one day. Don't be those old bitter grandparents that tell us we have to walk in the snow to school everyday just because they had too. The very bottom line is that people who need macros fail without them against people who do not need macros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denpic Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) I want a damage meter similar to recount Because currently I have no way of knowing if I'm doing Decent damage with my gear I can't breakdown my attacks And see how I can improve my dps I want to look aty damage after a fight In graphs and pie charts Also macros please ASAP I currently macro my keyboard which the system Allows for yet other games that have macros don't allow hardware macros Also open the game to addon programmers this will only Add more to the game as great as it is it could Be so much better Edited February 24, 2012 by denpic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I'm vehemently opposed to unicorns ingame as well - wait'll you see my reasons why Listening to lackluster players cry about needing macro's to do the dirty work for them is getting repititive I'm going back to the future See you later; or is that before?

By efficient you mean have the ability to beat a good player; yes perhaps you NEED macros - you're right Any eta on Unicorns ingame?

_Rammie_ Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 No thanks to addons. I prefer winning through skill and experience. There's more fun in getting the right feel of your class and beating the content than staring at a stupid thread and damage meter, having an addon telling you what skills to use and another one healing for you. There was a time you got banned from games using crap third party stuff.. Aimbots, wallhacks... they all "made the game easier" and are nothing different to addons. It's not hard to play this game. Dumb things down even more and you'll have to start playing with a bib. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terminova Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Well, I guess you're not old enough to understand what I meant. I'll explain.. Before Online Billing, we did the following: 1. Pick up mail. 2. Open Mail. 3. Write check 4. Put in envelope. 5. Put stamp on 6. Walk to mail box. 7. Drop mail off. You see these steps^? There's a lot more steps involved if I really wanted to go into details. Now, we have Online billing. Fewer steps, less time. The ultimate RL Macro. Paying a bill online is not a macro, just a different method of delivery. When I lived in Italy I just walked to the Post Office and paid my electric bill. One step, not a macro. Bottomline - people who are against macros are scared they'll be at a disadvantage against players who have experience using macros. Kinda selfish. Of course, being scared to experience something they've never experienced before is perfectly natural. But barriers must be broken one day. Don't be those old bitter grandparents that tell us we have to walk in the snow to school everyday just because they had too. Why are you telling me this?

vanisle Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 But.....I like them! Well I'm putting in a work order for unicorns next patch. I think we've shown enough support here for them and tbh I can't imagine a Star Wars universe without them. You guys can head on over to my Gabbing About the Game forum page and see what sort of colours and coats will be available, and horns - it's all about the horns. Coffee Break, I'll ask some of the guys over in programming if they think macro's are viable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
