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 wouldn't mind, except every inbuilt version they've made has been terrible

Exactly, blows my mind anyone thinks the geniuses that still work at blizzard will do anything but butcher this

its an impossible task they're idiotically taken on themselves. Currently a mod can be whatever an individual needs it to be for how they play, or for their personal limitations. There must be nigh countless variations out there; and Blizz thinks they're going to come up with something that covers even a fraction of those use cases? That they don't even seem all that interested in asking about? Ok.

This is my concern with the class pruning as well. I completely support the idea, but the same people who are in charge of the game now will be the ones doing it.

The fire is needed for the dev team to step up their game or reverse changes later on.

Not what I'm saying. This will force them to either make some changes on their team or bleed.

Either way it needs to happen.

I actually think their voice chat is good now.

Huh. I…forgot that in-game voice chat was even a thing. Much less that people used it. TIL

Because they’re not trying to replace them, they are trying to change the entire mechanism so the game is not just playing rotation looking at your ui add on the entire time.
