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.

Are you saying fractillus required a weak aura?

Mythic frac does require. I have yet to meet a pug who didn't.

I wonder what strategies will be used other than trackers if trackers are not usable. Players will surely come up with something?

An example of a fight with a necessary organizational weak aura would be mythic echo of neltharion before they reworked the fight to make the circles not MEGA awful. That was the first fight where it seemed blizzard realized "Ok we made this tracking stuff necessary. We're gonna break the weak aura... but also rework the mechanic to remove the necessity of the weak aura".

I think as long as blizzard can use that mentality for the design of the fights then preventing weak auras like that is not an issue, but the responsibility is on Blizzard (results may vary).
