The thing that really tips the balance are literal cheat mods like Health Bars, Chest Markers and Danger Zone.

Because when mods start to substantially change player behavior to the point that it dramatically alters the gameplay experience it's too much.

League used to run by this argument but it just became a pointless skill diff between new players and old so they added timers for everything. There used to be a whole chat etiquette essentially implementing the missing features.

[@cactrot83]

Healthbar is a bridge too far for me, personally. It lets you see which enemies are dead versus merely knocked down. You can see wounded enemies through walls and in the dark. And even setting stuff like that aside, just knowing how close each enemy is to being dead completely changes your priorities at virtually all times you're in combat. It's a large advantage over players not using the mod plain and simple, more often and to a degree far greater than anything else discussed in this video. Off the top of my head, only Spidey Sense and the mods that bypass the hacking minigames are more egregious. I don't begruge players using health bar mod, but I absolutely think it's something that should either be on for everyone or be unavailable because of how severely it impacts the gameplay.

[@Ebb0Productions]

Having played the game for 1900 hours, farmed auric since it came out, beaten h40 multiple times... Not Once have I ever needed to know exactly how many bullets or points of HP/T my teammates have. Nor do I need to see their steam username (clutter) or true level (it's easy to see how good a player is by how they play). But that's just my silly personal opinion. I think you make good arguments, and most of this information should be optional in the base game for those who want it. Same with the scoreboard. But I have to draw a line at health bars. I have a problem with the slippery slope of cheating in this game. So many mods that seem like QOL, are giving players information they're supposed to either look for or remember. That's part of the challenge. Health bars mean I don't have to keep track of which enemies have been hit by something. It's also a soft-wallhack when enemies are hit by AoE effects. Collectible finder means I don't have to risk exploring the map looking for items that may not exist. Spawn feed, spider sense, dog pounce/crusher overhead warnings, AoE markers on the ground, the list goes on. Every mod removes a part of the challenge. If every mod is a small amount of cheat, then where do you draw the line? Aimbot? This is the problem with Fatshark being lazy and outsourcing QOL to modders. We end up with cheat creep.

[@J.B.1982]

Display health/toughness however you want. The more things are near your crosshair, the less effort/distance your eyes will need to check them. Other must have in your vision are stamina (good by default), dodge count (VERY important), ult cooldown and grenade amount/ammo. Having your buff list more centered can also help awareness for buffs/stacks (precog/piety...) Of course, don't clutter things too much, you also want to see enemies (so too much on the sides of your crosshair is a no-no, unless you make it small)

i can imagine when fatshark adds a scoreboard, they just let you see your own stats. tbh i would prefer that over a lobby wide scoreboard

[@joshwongwai3532]

I’d be fine with either of them, I just don’t like being left wondering if I performed well or poorly at the end of each mission.

[@michaellee4276]

Maybe let you compare yourself to the average of the other players. So you know how you are doing relatively without being able to target someone for being "bad"

[@WraithOfMan]

If people want to be pearl-clutchers about "toxicity" in the game, then simply show the scoreboard *AFTER* the round. People can tell when you've been a handicap during a game anyway and are likely to treat you the same way regardless, so it's not a valid reason to deny players from seeing the stats by which they can see their performance and learn where they're doing well or not.

Numeric UI has the no skull option already, just scroll to the bottom.

Wish there was something to fix the goddamn latency

[@thunder2434]

If you haven't already you can try some or all of the following: Turn off all raytracing, including turning off portrait generation, unless you got a 4090 graphics card which can actually benefit from raytracing. Set Thread count to max for the i7 core and if you're playing with an i5 perhaps this is part of the problem but try setting threads to 6 or so. Restart computer, restart game, check performance. Adjust thread count up or down a little to see if it improves or performance drops off. If you run 16 GB RAM memory, try closíng down all background non-essential programs before you start the game (or get more RAM...) Is it still bad latency? Turn off V-sync Lower general graphics settings to medium but compensate by increasing sharpness to 70-80%. It won't look as good but it's still playable. Check your internet connection speed, you may need to pay extra for a higher bandwidth Hope that helps

Heya, I love your UI and it would really help if you shared. I'm not regular daily player and never got to modding UI properly, but I know it could help me a lot

[@Kubca25]

Its even worst that we can't use those QoL UE mods when there is crossplay and what is pissing me as well is that I can't map controller, I can only use some stupid preset configs or I didn't find it and I'm stupid...

Still mad that we dont have weapons customization. But its ok theres a mod for that.

[@J.B.1982]

It’s for lore purposes. Games Workshop keeps it tight and I 100% agree.

[@WraithOfMan]

@@J.B.1982 Utter nonsense, since most of it consists of literally parts from the weapons already in the game, plus the ability to put the sights on weapons that actually can benefit from them. Taking out the customisation options was done to push the "micro"transaction apparel store and because the dev team are LAZY.

[@Mr.Hun13r]

@@J.B.1982 how does this have anything to do with lore? do lasguns not have scopes?

[@J.B.1982]

@@Mr.Hun13r I’m basing this on some gun customization I’ve seen that looks cursed. Adding sights is not what I’m talking about. I’m also basing this on what I know about Games Workshop.

[@Mr.Hun13r]

@J.B.1982 yeah the mod has some cursed combinations I will give you that. Honestly I just use it to put a reflex and a light on everything. As far as GW I have not seen anything implying they don't like weapon customization. The only one who seems opposed is fatshark. Which is hilarious considering they made a first person shooter.

[@fries4450]

I started playing a couple of days ago and I don't understand why they left so many qol features and the great UI they had in Vermintide 2 behind.

[@horonomoro]

Mods never nessecary, only nice to have. But if you need all kind of mods to clear games, then its a lack of skill... skill issues.. and the game is not for you. Some mods look good, but its not nessecary but that is my opinion. Your video is nice and good explained

[@Rosensand]

I think no skull is not big deal as when tagging sniper far is useful, what i hate is the scoreboard covering my weekly mission

[@OmegaUberDeathbot]

Mods are mostly made by normal people at home on their PC. Since the coding is different on consoles it isn’t very easy to push it to them. They probably don’t want to put in that much work. I do wish you could customize the hud placement though. The descriptions of armor covers the clothing you are looking at, or the mission progress is dead center in the screen when trying to aim.

[@Dsaberz]

Thanks to you I got to mod my game.

[@dlodortyjobs5618]

they really should give us the og weapon customization they promised us on release.

[@MisterEtide]

Blocked by games workshop owning the warhammer license apparently. No modifications because lore

[@A_Tusami]

@@MisterEtide which is dumb, because in lore the guard do modify their weapons. Really all they need to keep stock is the bolter, but even then artisans make bolters for specific users.

[@J.B.1982]

True Level and a good thorough scoreboard are important, also Creature Spawner. Beyond that it’s very questionable and understandable why they don’t have the other features implemented. As a big time modder myself, if you let modders have their way, a lot of the time you’ll get an erosion of artistic design for the sake of end game min/max meta gaming, which I personally don’t like. You’re not suppose to know exactly how much cooldown is left or how much health enemies have. That’s the point.

[@sakuraokami25]

Qol mods would be nice if the could be added to the base game for console, if the game was actually stable that is. I swear i cant even go a game without crashes. Atleast for me medicare priority is whoever has the least wounds left and i use a boltgun so i only take as much ammo as i need so for me the numeric ui and such is a nice addition but i couldnt care for not having it. Elite healthbars would be nice specifically for the armored ones/ crushers, bulwarks, maulers ect. But then again if im surrounded by hordes and a pack of maulers or something those healthbars likely would be in the way. However one thing id like was something i saw from another game being custom messages. So i could send "dont worry about me" or something like "i am a zealot and i do run off" rather than having to spend like a minute typing it out. Which if i was dead sure id have the time to type. But its rare for that to happen. Though some people would likely use that system to be trolls. (Or everyone could use a mic, apart from some dont have one and others dont like to talk)

[@samanthasoares4806]

I understand not wanting a scoreboard to encourage team mindset and people not running off alone to kill farm and abandon their team... But fuck that lemme see how good I did 🥺

[@mikesmart3786]

Another huge one you didnt mention is modded sights for weapons, being an xbox player some weapon sights just straight up suck and are only good for single shots

[@MisterEtide]

I left it out because i know Fatshark can’t implement it. It has to do with games workshop not allowing modifications to their weapons because “lore” or some shit.

@@MisterEtide Yet the las pistols and guns get holo sights, while the game's DMRs get some of the sh*tiest iron sights in the game... They're talking out of their backside; it's laziness and the desire to push the paid-for apparel store.

It's even funnier when you realize that some sights are bugged on console. Like the Infantry lasgun doesn't even hit where the red dot is set to. Absolutely ridiculous
