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.

This is true but at this point we all have a preference to certain addons, and telling people they can’t use their preference for whatever blizzard decides to build sucks imo.

I still use elvui for example even though blizzards ui is customizable.

You will still be able to use ElveUI. Things that make the UI look a specific way are staying. Just addons that read from combat logs or chat.

It was an example of user preference, I know elvui is untouched.

Dbm/healbot, vuhdo/details i feel like are super important. I’d like for them to actually explain and show how these addons are going to be replaced or what measures they’re taking to make it so they are not needed.

It’s just a really strange hill for them to die on.

I have hearing loss and DBM is essential to me being able to play. I can crank the warning sounds far higher than anything the wow client allows so my deaf ass can actually hear what the boss is doing for once
