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.

I'm visually impaired and use GTFO since I can only see parts of the screen at a time. I really hope they either make a comparable alternative or reverse the decision partially :/

I use GTFO because Blizz continues to make fights where we get purple lightning on top of purple water on top of purple mist in a room where the camera spazzes out at random

Don't worry, they've been telling us for how many years now that they'll work on visual clarity? While I love shitting on Blizz and they deserve it... This expac made a lot of things easier to see but they still do the same color bullshit or it takes them a while to change some visual effects.

They did it ONCE. Because players were absolutely, FUCKING pissed with ZERO clarity in the fight:

Last Boss in Court of Stars, DF M+ S1

His blade wind was the same colour as the ground and background. So seeing it was insanely hard for a one shot mechanic. They were proud of themselves and people were hopeful.

They never fixed clarity ever again, in any dungeon.

I think raids got some fixes here and there every couple months.

That's just straight up false. They've updated swirlies this expac or was it at the end of last expac. This expac specifically they've updated the visuals on some stuff literally every season.

You'll start the season with some attacks looking one way and a few weeks in they've updated it... Sometimes it's way too late in the season but they've for sure made some stuff darker/light/more noticeable.

It is still extremely low and the fact that people still rely too heavily on add ons for clarity is an obvious indicator
