so the vu 16 - what seem to be the key idea's so far behind it?
besides UI improvements (https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/...-Camera-amp-Control-System-Preview-and-Guides) imho motivation best summarized by
imho this "undesired side effects" and "unintended issues" translates quite directly to preventing hunting / healing by using hp bars + fixing related issues in pvp, and seeing that messi & co is quite active for the cause seems to make "along with frustration and unnecessary limitations for many current and veteran participants" part clearer
don't get me wrong, the bots including runners for evade skills that work on this basis are annoying - but since this / any hunting post loot 2.0 does not seem to be a profit generator, it would be economically unfeasible and they would realize this with time?
also there are surely some improvements with the UI and it likely fixes pvp, but does that justify removing usable functionality like hp bars?
some questions

and then these:the MindArk team has felt that the existing camera and control system results in confusion for many new participants, along with frustration and unnecessary limitations for many current and veteran participants
features (for example, Next Target and switching between camera modes) have issues with consistency and undesired side effects
Removed the ability to drag out status bars. This feature caused many unintended issues and problems, and is no longer needed.
Lock Target does not target avatars

some questions
- isn't this just looking for an "external enemy" to explain why the players are not happy and why the retention rate is crap?
- is basing game development on advise of egomaniacs like messi the reasonable choice (sure he is a great player but also a great douche)
- how is semi-afk hunting/healing worse than crafting all night afk while watching netflix?
- was UI improvements the best way to spend resources?
- weren't those semi-afk hunters/healers generating more turnover (and with loot 2.0 likely losing peds) which will now stop?
- aren't other things (just to name a few) causing way more "frustration and unnecessary limitations for many current and veteran participants"?
- ** loot system flaws that allow 30% of the fen items to be looted by 3 avatars
- ** tier system being complete clusterfuck with pricing still of 2008 and critical components not available?
- ** ten event armor sets still not completed 5 years later when fen event has ended
- ** inability to sell bulk skills for frustrated players who spill their poison in the community
- ** the tax system on LAs being the clusterfuck it is

Players may not use 3rd party Add-ons.

YOU DON'T NEED BARS to perform any hunting or healing jobs.You need them just because you are used with it.
I can easily fap 6 people hunting the same mob without drag their hp and none of them will die because I miss a heal on them.That will require my full focus and game mechanic understanding and how the mob position and attack certain people on different area around me.This job will prevent me scratching my balls while doing so or use auto clicker on a hp bar or perhaps any other whatever 3rd party software or any other shit I don't know , just saying.
indeed ... the new system require full focus and full attention, understanding of game mechanics and a big amount of adaptability. I never hunt with mobs hp bar dragged. I think this update is a good one because prevent players from doing things in entropia while semi afk or watching movies in the background.
If I become one I will probably become the best healer ingame.
...
I know hit mechanics on all mobs ingame, mob collision etc, no hp bars drag ofc.
You are too busy to check my attitude and you don't focus on what I'm saying.This is how I check what's your main focus in this game.Improving is not one.
...
You simply don't need hp bars.Yeah you got used with it but its not needed, make the difference.
I suspect they removed this feature because many bots and 3rd party software was based on click to move and drag bars and do stuff.Now you know that 99% of the actions are done manually by a fucking human person.
Healing service might be harder for some but at least now people that can do it don't use auto clicker and 3rd party software and based on that fact you can step up and charge more (guess what this is a competitive field too)
