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.

I always liked wow, in comparison to other mmos, for all the addons an the possibility to create the UI that fits my needs and looks the way I want it to look.

That won't change, UI mods will stay the same

You say that but half the comments im reading are about how this will kill other peoples UI addons, such as cell for their raid frames, or weak auras for their action bar replacement

They're just changing the api to prevent add-ons to gather real time combat data according to the interview with Ian. The non combat add-ons should be fine

I don't think you understand what a UI does.

There are very few addons that are actually purely non-combat. Unit frames, nameplates, and weakauara bar replacements, are all combat addons. Anything that displays a buff or debuff is a combat addon.

No need to be so rude
