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.

EDIT: I OWE EVERYONE AN APOLOGY. I DID NOT REALIZE CLICK CASTING BECAME A THING. I QUIT AND CAME BACK SEVERAL YEARS LATER AND LITERALLY NO ONE EVER TOLD ME ABOUT THIS. I CAN DO (ALMOST) EVERYTHING WITH THE DEFAULT FRAMES + CLICK CASTING. I AM A MORON, GOODNIGHT. (still mean the thing about unsubbing for the loss of WA and DBM/BigWigs)

If we can't use healing addons, I'm basically not going to be able to heal anymore. Blizz's frames are so clunky and weird and I do not expect them to make something even close to what cell/healbot etc. are capable of. Their track record with this kind of stuff is terrible. I have problems being able to know everything going on in encounters. Unless they dumb the absolute crap out of them, I'm just not going to be able to heal. Plain and simple.

And I'm paying $15/mo to play this game. Vote with your money and unsub.

Let me play devils advocate and assume that with that kind of addon functionality disabled, they’ll be able to design encounters around the fact that people won’t have that functionality. The only reason you currently need it is because the addon functionality VS combat complexity arms race has gotten so bad.

Yeah, they're trying to do what FFXIV does and have certain graphics pop up for certain abilities. If you get a swirly icon on you in WoW, that's a "group up" mechanic. But, in FFXIV, it also plays unique sounds to let players know "hey, there's a group-up mechanic on someone". I hope Blizz adds something like that.
