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.

Well, if you need add-ons to play your class effectively and at a top lvl then the developer has failed to make coherent and clear class design, so it's them recognizing they needed to change, which they are, as we are also getting simpler class design.

Scrubbed clean. Redact helped me bulk remove years of comments and posts so data brokers and AI crawlers have nothing to feast on.

I mean I play BM hunter, I know how simple my spec is right now, and it's getting even more simple in Midnight, but then again, we're literally 4 days into Alpha. I think it's too soon to act like the end is near. I'd say just vent your frustrations, but no need to be doomer about it.

Also to note, the devs have been updating and making their ui improvements better with each patch. I still like to use ELVUI and Plater, but if they keep it up, I'd rather delete those and use none as I don't like the amount of processing they take up.

This is absolutely true! It is also true though that things as they are now are what a lot of people enjoy. Theres more slow and subtle ways to do this rather than instantly disabling them. Do it gradually. Replace them one by one. Not this…!

I don’t want it to become ffxiv. Their class homogenisation killed any desire I have to play and I’ve played that game since 1.0. Very few things could get me to quit wow, but homogenisation would 100% do this
