This game badly needs mods and macros.

The problem isnt about makign one person happy vs one person upset. Its about game balancing. Part of the challenge of this game is having to pay attention to whats going on around you.... you have to see the red circles move out of red circles pay attention to debuffs and call out for cleanse.

these things already pop up a majority of the time in big red text across your screen "Dathomiri has been targeted for deletion", "Tallfat's mind has been clouded" ... these things already happen in game.

If they allow mods that make the debuffs and buffs more visible then they become REQUIRED for end game play. How many guilds do you know that REQUIRE mox parser atm for all end game HM raids? personally i know more that do then dont. I even know ones that suggest pugs do these things.

Voice chats are already required third party (which was there biggest mistake there should have been in game chat built into this game and ventrillo and mumble should have been optional alternatives.) Also it would be super easy using combat log alone to already detail these things on your own... the truth is no one wants to program them.

I am a software engineer myself .... if the debuff shows up in combat log i could easily create a program that puts text accross your screen in big bold letters that tells you that as an overlay program (a program that acts like a new skin on top of SWTOR like mox does). So all they have to do is want to create the program and include debuffs in the combat log ... then someone who wants to make it can. But it would still be up to you to download it and run it.

No to mods , No to macros...this game works fine w/o them.

I feel like the game is for the worse without having macros, especially near high level play. I've never seen so much hate for macros before, and I really don't understand it. It doesn't give you an unfair advantage, it just makes gameplay more comfortable.

If you're not comfortable, get a better deskchair.

You're so witty and clever

Badly needs mods and macros ? definedtly not

Needs them, not realy, not imo anyways, Not that i wouldn´t like some mods like a wardrobe mode and and atlasloot ex. but that´s nowhere near the main reason swtor is bleeding subs.

Random dc´s, loads of lag, minor bugs, ability delays, and bad bad CS. Those are major concerns. Mods and macros realy are way longer down the list in my book.

i just wanna spam mouse 1 and win... sign me up.

Combat mods would be nice, sure, But I would put time into developing a mod for the GTN myself if the API was available.

Maybe a middle ground would be nice. Access to simple things like Inventory management and stat tracking for instance.

This thread needs to be closed since the GUI Customization has already been released.

Yeah, Macros would be cool.
