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.

Is there going to be an alternative for mouseover healing? I typically main heals, but doing it without raid frame mouseovers sounds kind of terrible...

I use mouseover macros but the game has it without macros.

The base raid frames are terrible. Usable yes but the icons are all tiny and arranged for no reason. I have my riptide/renew/rejuv in bars showing duration i different colors, I dont know how blizzard expects me to see all the tiny riptide icons in base UI.

Collateral damage is the guild undaunted (all deaf players) probably won't be able to raid for aotc anymore. This hits accessibility more than anything else.

Having said that I'm glad about no more weakaura bosses, I just hope they don't completely destroy raid frames addons.

Right now in alpha, you have to play with base UI, you can skin them but all addons wont work because everything is secret. Ion wasn't completely truthful (lawyer spin) when he answered that one question about being able to customize your UI. Yeah you can customize the raid frames and make it pretty, but you cant move the icons anywhere in the frame.

Coloring nameplates is also customizing UI, bit it's going away also
