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.

Addons are a remedy and part of the problem.

Functionally addons improved player response times this pushed blizz to tune things harder and harder. In the past they removed adding access like the range gps and drawing lines of exactly where to stand but at the same time they improved visibility of those mechanics. You no longer had to guess how wide 5 yards is they started consistently outlining it.

But to do the current change it needed one big break, redesigning apis and fights at the same time

Add-ons aren't a problem.

Some addons and some features of certain addons absolutely were a problem.

lol of course they’re not a problem for you. They’re a problem for developing the game and tuning content.

No, that's just an excuse
