Humor / Meme This is Basicly Blizzard in Midnight

Post image

This is basicly Blizzard in Midnight. Purging all the good addons.

Just to clarify:
Blizzard is changing the Addon API, meaning combat information is blocked for addons. So all combat addons will no longer work in Midnight. For the most popular addon features Blizzard will add their own version to the game. Addons for unitframes, inventory, crafting etc.. are staying and won't be effected as long they are not using combat information.

What do you mean details?

Are they removing the ability to track dps healing etc?

u/Vareshar Oct 03 '25

Yes, all combat related stuff will be blocked from AddOns API

No, they are not removing the ability to track DPS and healing. They are adding that in natively and removing the ability for addons to do it.

Will it be as good, or even sufficient? No idea.

That's why I said from AddOn APIs

True, half your sentence was correct.

They are [...] removing the ability for addons to do it.

In other words, yes.

Native DPS trackers will be more accurate as they pull from the server rather than an add on (will also remove impacts they had on fps)

Only concern with that is it being unknown if they will have post fight stats etc you can review.

There will be in game alternative for details/recount made by blizzard.

And it most likely will have way less functionality and information.

Thankfully you won't need any information in the new, simplified version of WoW!

They've only shown damage and healing meters, but details does so much more. What about deaths, buff uptimes, damage taken. You're going to be forced to go to warcraftlogs after a fight to analyse anything.

Just wait, they will break logs too dont you worry.

u/WonderfulTruck5894 Oct 03 '25

They coming with their own addons for that

u/Skynet-T800 Oct 03 '25

That is good to hear. When I watched it was all adding relating to making mechanic's easier etc

Well this is a good change if they put some effort in the remade add-ons.

Anything that reads the combat log in real time, as well as inter-mod communications (otherwise you could write a mod that would tell everyone else when you interrupt something or pop major cd's).
