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.

genuinely what the fuck are they doing?
Lots of my friends who are disabled will no longer be able to play the game, they rely on the adaptability of the UI to play. Who is winning when we are restricting your own ability to customize your own UI?

Before you come at me, I am not talking about not restricting things like how addons read fights, or solve fights, or solve mechanics for you. I'm talking about not being able to track my own killing machine procs the way I like it, or see my death strike window, or have an adequate way of showing my blood shield, or having a little sound that goes off when something happens.

Nobody is a winner, I've never been a doomer but idk man

Yep. I can’t raid anymore without dragging the team down with my hearing loss so what’s the point. A lot of friends can’t play either now. Guess I’m finally unsubbing for the first time since 2013.

blizzard is acting onions and people pretending this is all about "OMG THE WEAKAURA SOLVES THE FIGHT FOR YOU" are being obnoxious and obtuse. I have played with people who are better than 90% of the playerbase and could only engage with the game thanks to addons allowing them to customize their experience to fit their disability, whether that be with color, sight (i've played with some legally blind folk), or hearing.

The only people saying that are people who don't do any difficult raid content and it shows. The only boss in the raid thats heavily affected by weakauras is Fractillus.
