Bacon-Wrapped Egg Muffins. Mmmmm. *gobbles down four and washes it down with strong coffee* *burps*
 
Whew. Okay. Now that that's settled, moving on.
 
Worked out of the house yesterday, and oddly, didn't play any video games until later in the day. Then, I probably should have tried to start recruiting, but I didn't. Instead, I pushed through toward the end of Auroria, made level 22 and called it a night.
 
Had a good friend I've known since junior high (we played the original Legend of Zelda together!) stop by with his laptop. He's just bought Wildstar and wanted to get some pointers. He's a big console guy, but I guess he'd heard me talk about Wildstar so much, he decided to get in on it.
 
One of the very first things I noticed was, he was doing the "tap and/or hold F" thing. He was also actually playing the Simon games.
 
"Bloody savage," I mutter and steer him toward TapThat and Curse.Com.
 
I won't play this game without that Add-On. In fact, that and the "JunkIt" add-on are the only two that I *have to have* in order to enjoy myself. I can live without all the other extras, but those two are MANDATORY for me.
 
So, what Add-Ons do you use, and which could you just not enjoy yourself without? Do you make Add-Ons? What kind of Add-Ons would you like to see that don't already exist?
 
Talk to me, Nexus!

Aw, sorry I missed you. I'll be around for a while this evening and all weekend, of course. No pressure. It's just me right now, like I said. Weekends are a better time to catch newbies anyway.
 
Here's another question:
 
Can I make text macros in this game or does that require an Add-On, too? I hate typing the recruitment messages over and over and end up making dumb typos. I just wanna click a button like in WoW and boom, it shows up in the appropriate chat window.

So, what Add-Ons do you use,

			You could write the text in word or something like that, then copy and paste it whenever you feel like recruiting :-p Personally I'm not too much a fan of recruiting like that though, the few guilds I had mainly recruited via forums threads. That's because I tend to prefer small guilds, though.

Morning  :)
 
I love addons. It's funny but in games without them people get all 'up in arms' over not having them and in games that you can use them people are all like 'but why should we need to use them??'  :P 
 
I use Tapthat, cheat simon, mission distance, perspective, kourna (spelling?) bags and Forge UI. Maybe more...or not this combination anymore.... I set my stuff up long ago and have been thoroughly happy with them and the game. To be real, I just don't think about it anymore. I do really like Perspective because of they way you can customize it.
 
I haven't logged on in a few days  :( my life is just too busy at the moment, mainly work related stuff  :angry: but I'm hopeful that I can squeeze some time in this weekend. I'm even thinking about ditching my brother on Friday night for our usual dinner  :ph34r: (Does that make me a bad sister??)

I'm not a big addon user, but there's a few I consider essential (for me):
 
Tap That - because my button mashing days are done.
Cheat Simon - I'm very proud of my Puzzle Master title!
Rune Master - any core game system that needs a third party addon to become usable is ... well that's another discussion.
Dye Dummy - so happy to find out recently this addon was active again.
Translator - because I need to know what those filthy Aurin are saying.

			Being a housing fanatic, anything that makes building easier or more efficient is a "must have", in my book. Katia's Builder Toolkit definitely fits that description. The clone tool, the difference function (stairs made easy!) the ability to save decor sets and even a built-in /visit <player name> function, with more improvements/additions likely to come. Can't say enough good things about this addon.	
----
			
Hoi hoi!
 
Forgeui (always): So light, such clean, much wow! 
Raidcore (during pug raids): run away little girl, run away!
 
Chatlinks (always) : no moar typing!
 
Perspective (during Malgrave) : Where the cupcake, did this caravan member go?
 
Ohmna helper (always) : hmm I guess it's safe to stand here
 
Vortexmeter (always) :  more pew,pew,pew,pew!
 
Katia builder (always) :  Fix,fix,fix!
 
 
I wanna see an addon that will be able to move/destroy/add decor based on your commands [e.g in 3 min add 2 small campfires (size 5) coordinates:1(x,y,z) , 2 (x,y,z)]. Something like minecraft command blocks. Afaik katia is working on something like that. :rolleyes:	
----
			I have never even heard of Katia's Tool Kit until this morning. Looks like I'm going to be doing some Housing after all!	
----
			
Katia's Builder Toolkit 
 
That's the only one I use at the moment. :) 	
----
			I only use Galaxy library and Speedy QT, Unfortunately GL is not upto date(No longer allows me to preview all items) and SpeedyQT  is there because Quest tracker is still not fixed

I like to read the Morning Coffee's, this time I decided I want to share.  This is 11 recipe hacks every lazy gamer should know.

I know it's off topic, but it's tasty.

Addons, oh man do I.  Many of the ones already mentioned of course (TapThat ftw). 
 
KuronaBags simply because unlike the stock addon it doesn't scan for other players :blink:.  WHY does a personal inventory addon care about anybody but my character?  I also use KuronaFrames because the stock frames have similar performance killing features.  Apologies for ragging on CRB but the sense I get from their scripting team is that a lot of this work was done by an Art stuckee instead of somebody that was trained as a programmer.
 
Since Kael's Housing Tour and The Visitor fell out of maintenance I wrote Revisit.  I have some more improvements in mind just need to find some time to get them added.
 
Another one that's been broken too long is PDA which was very useful to the RP community.  There's a replacement called Cozmotronic in progress but it's not ready yet and people are getting anxious for even the base functionality before F2P arrives.  Might take a crack at writing a placeholder.	
----
			
Wait, wait ... so you mean one of the reasons I bog down in Thayd/Illium is because MY TOON IS SCANNING THE INVENTORY OF EVERYONE AROUND ME?!?!?!
 
 
What. The. Ever-Loving. Cupcake?
 
Okay, adding KuronaBags to my list tonight. That's ridonkulous!

Morning, folks!
 
Woke up tired after about 4 hours of sleep. Had a long night of working on projects and watching JoJo's. Luckily a shower and a cup of coffee helped a bit. Now I have to go into society and do adult stuff. Augh! (Or I could put it off till tomorrow, but probably shouldn't).
 
EDIT, because I completely forgot to answer: I don't really use addons that much. I think addons that make aspects of the games easier take away some of the game for myself, even if it's just plying simon. I DO use some less active addons like Galaxy Library because I can actually see in-game models without having them. That helps with finding project builds AND having references for them. Although, reading these comments, I may recommend some of these mods for a friend of mine with a less sturdy computer.

Tons.
 
VinceBuilds is a huge one for me though. Being able to switch builds/gear on the fly is just completely necessary.
KurnoaBags, RaidCore, Vortex, Perspective (really only use it to draw a line to my focus and MT finding), AuraMastery, ViragsSoical (wonder if this one's gonna last :( ), ChatLinks, LinkEquipped, JunkIt, RuneMaster, WildstarLogger
 
Probably more, but that's what I can think of at the moment.
 
Oh, and my own add on ExportRoster, but it's only useful for me and my guildies. I use it to upload the current party to my website for assignments, and to export gear to update our armory. But for anyone who ever wanted to export a list of people in your party, with our without their gear, it's simple and easy to use :)  (However, for anyone wanting to build their own armory using this, it doesn't export runes, because that's not something I care about too much for our own armory).	
----
			
I don't use any addoons right now, but after reading this thread I'm seriously considering a few of them tonight. :P   Especially these ones that seem to enhance performance...
 
Will probably also check out Katia's housing addon, since I seem to do a lot of that. <_<
 
Generally though, I don't bother with addons because I'm not a fan of having to update them when patches come out. I know... lazy. :rolleyes:

Curse makes this so much easier than updating addons of days gone by. I really don't mind it any more.

I was just thinking ... We're going to end up re-hashing all these topics once the Freebots get involved.
 
I mean, that's going to be cool, right? There are only so many topical discussion we can have without coming full circle, especially to the more popular subjects.

And a whackload of custom ones I've hacked together to suit my specific needs (mostly centering around AH and PvP stuff) that may or may not eventually get cleaned up and released publically:)
