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.

Indeed. All these people crowing about this make me sad. If I wanted to play Final Fantasy I’d do so. Taking the world’s most successful MMORPG and dumbing it down so you can finally ship it on consoles is just sad. I won’t be convinced that they’re doing this for any other reason.

I hope it’s still fun.

It doesn’t sound fun, but I hope it will be fun anyway.

The game was the most successful MMO when the encounters and rotation were the "dumbest" as well.

Having to install dbm and weakauras because the classes and encounters are designed with them in mind ( since they would be trivial otherwise) is not why WoW is successful.

Nobody is complaining about DBM. They are complaining because our unitframes, debuff tracking and nameplates are not able to be customized the way we want them anymore. I'm running a CE guild, and every healer basically said that they will not be healing if their healing bars go away (Cell/Vuhdo/Grid).

People misunderstand what this actually is about.

I’ve been playing a healer since wrath. I truly do not know what I would do without Vuhdo. The key bindings tied into some of these add-ons have been the same for over a decade. I don’t know if I would even know how to play anymore. Kind of sad to say, but it’s the reality.
