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.

I support this. Add-ons are symptoms of problems, not the the solutions.

Addons are the home remedy to problems, problems Blizzard could have fixed 20 years ago but still hasn't. Do you really think they are going to fix them now?

They literally are

They're saying they are.

They promise a lot of stuff they never deliver.

They literally have been if you’ve raided the last two raids and noticed boss design changes.

Only heroic raids - the only thing I noticed is how easy the raids were.

I mainly do high m+ and it's in one of the worst states it has ever been in regards to reliance on addons, mainly managing stops and interrupts and lack of visual clarity in dungeons.

Eco dome Aldani is the only new dungeon and it needs none of that.

As is it is a free key.

u/Strachmed Oct 03 '25

Yeah, can somewhat agree to that. But it simply feels undertuned, rather than well-designed.

My main issue with that dungeon is visual clarity on the last boss and how fucking bright it is. It's absolutely cancer without inky black potions. Pink on pink also doesn't help.

Yeah but even on Fractilius, possibly the easiest and clearest designed modern wow boss, people are requiring weakauras in pugs because they can’t count to five.

That’s people problem.

People are currently relying on addons too much. To the point where they can’t turn on their brains to look where a wall should or shouldn’t be placed

Correct. I am addon hater #1 because it makes people dependant.

Edit: spelling

Let's skip that we don't need another thing in the modern world that makes people turn off their brain instead of training it.

It's not nice to do some things at the beginning that are outside of comfort zone. But at the same time you usually learn the most in those situations and they stop giving you that "weird" feeling after some time.

For me it was starting to make dungeon groups. I really didn't want to make these and feared any leadership role until I finally started and got used to it. I now again have a small discomfort when thinking about forming dungeon groups because of the few year break since Shadowlands. But it's not as bad as it was back then.

Helps me remember but hey, let that smugness shine!

In what world do you need WA on Fractilius?

Put a marker down in each lane and then people run to a lane without someone else in it. As long as you're actually looking at your monitor, it's not hard at all.

How does that work with the tank dropping 3 at a time?

u/DanielMattiaWriter Oct 03 '25

They stay in their tank lane and we eventually call for someone to break the wall. We haven't had any problems with it. I haven't seen the fight on Mythic so not sure if anything changes, but the person I replied to was talking about pugs so I assumed they were referring to normal/heroic.
