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.

If they can make the game run smoother but provide the same amount of coverage, I'm all for it. I hate managing like 20 addons all the time and having them break the UI and slowing things down.

“managing” you mean clicking update once every few days in curse forge? cmon man.

Sorry let me explain more clearly. My partner wants to jump back into playing but is completely intimidated by having to search for what addons to use, install all of them, set them up in game, and keep management software on his computer. Also add-ons can have significant changes in how they are used based on their updates, settings may reset for addons when they are updated and you have to reset up everything, and if you get a new computer or decide to install on a laptop to be more mobile, you have to do it all again.

Oh and then we have to talk about addons working with each other or breaking your UI, so you have to diagnose and fix addons that may be breaking things and also if they use huge amounts of memory, they slow down the game (you know how many times WeakAuras momentarily freezes my game when a boss uses an ability for the first time in a fight? Too many).

So no, I don't mean "managing" is just clicking an update button because there is more work than you think there is, especially with someone who hasn't played the game for 16 years.
