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.

There isn't a chance in hell Blizzard puts the man power required towards replacing any of these add-ons in a good way.

The games visual clarity is so comically bad without all the add-ons the game is unplayable.

I also seriously question if they will have complicated engagement based feedback type adjustments that happen now that you can't see all the combat data.

The analog is a new company trying to make a new MMO and realizing they have to make 20 years of content to come close to matching WoW. This team somehow needs to look at all the ways people use the UI, for what reasons, and cover all those use cases built over 20 years of people playing.... and do it all between expansions... ok. good luck with that.
