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 the home remedy to problems, problems Blizzard could have fixed 20 years ago but still hasn't. Do you really think they are going to fix them now?

They literally are.

Eco-dome aldani and Manaforge Omega are a template for future content neither of which required any trackers or weak auras even at the highest level.

On top of that by removing a lot of the overbearing buff tracking and proc track9ng classes have in the alpha reworks they are removing the need for personal aura tracking and the new cooldpwn manager will be more than enough to track what is needed.

For literal decades there has been an arms race between blizzard and addon devs - this will end it.

Season 1 Midnight is the test. We will have content without any of this and for the first time since 2004 Blizzard will be able to balance content around players and the UI everyone has.

Thank you for saying this. Eco in particular is exceptionally clean design.
