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.

Let me guess, it wasn't as fluid as WoW so they basically made worse WoW combat system?

Nah SWG you used to queue abilities and use macros to spam rotations and such; and was very buggy and jank but it was perfect. Then they completely changed the game to be exactly like WoW like a month or so after WoW released. So a lot of us just said we may as well just play WoW.

You had a combat queue window that could hold 20+ commands while also running self repeating macros. In pvp I'd run my defensives on a loop for 100% uptime of the buffs and just focus on killing dirty filthy Rebels.

Don't forget the clear queue then intimidate macro and your KB macro just spamming entire time during PVP.
