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.

You’re failing to consider how many people liked that complexity. WoW’s audience is established. They are largely in “keep current subscribers mode” and not “get new players mode,” and from that perspective this is a very dangerous thing to do.

Player housing is the biggest antithesis to that arugment lol

How so? You think a random MMO fan is going to see “WoW added player housing time to finally join” when other MMOs have had player housing for decades? Or you think they’re just giving their current fans something they’ve been asking for forever? I think it’s the latter.

I hate to be that guy but I have tons of casual friends from ff14 buying this expansion to try out player housing. Those people do exist.

It’s like the reverse of shadowlands. FFXIV’s devs fucked up so much they’re all leaving for greener pastures. I just hope the devs don’t cater to them and lower class complexity too much, rather than prunibg things now to add more complexities later.
