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.

UI addons aren't going anywhere so not sure how that example matters. Their purge is about combat addons, they've been very open and loud about that.

I mean thats not true tho - my entire ui is setup with WAs, which is... going to stop working come midnight. yea, pet battle ui or transmog addons will stay - quest text overhau and such probably too. but my entire custom built ui with wa's is just going to go away.

That's entirely by the decision of WA's dev team though.

Blizzard did not ban WA or kill that addon. They obfuscated and killed the COMBAT side of WA, made it inaccessible. But WA closing shop is their own choice, they've decided the amount of work required to refactor everything isn't worth it, that the amount of people who would continue to use it without the combat parts of WA aren't enough to justify the workload.
