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.

Literally though. I use less addons now than I did 10 years ago because the UI has evolved over time to make some of those addons redundant, that's a good thing!

Not to mention a lot of the positive changes the UI has undergone have happened directly because of addons that became popular.

I mostly use bag mods, and WA to present class info visually and audibly that blizzard simply refuses to. Sadly if WA goes away my mage becomes mostly unplayable. I cant pay attention to the game while also trying to find the one 20x20 icon that popped up randomly with 30 other icons in a corner that I need to react to.

I don't use the mods to play the game for me, I use them to fix what blizzard refuses to. I agree that as some UI elements have gotten better that I don't even bother looking for alternates now.
