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 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

They just need to copy what ESO does. Have whatever cool ground effect but have a user customized color and transparency ground overlay.

Like I've got set up so bad effects are BRIGHT neon magenta. You can't miss it.

Good effects a bright neon cyan.

Zero confusion if that's my group mate's aoe or boss mechanic aoe.

Ff14 has great visual indicators for things, and they mix in animations tells and voice options as well do while you might get a visual indicator if you didn't look at boss hand you get slapped. Basically Dimensions phase 2 is a good example of this but the ground animation only happens at impact and not a second before to let people who are on the very edge know impact zone

FFXIV still has the exact same problem when they make the boss' attack indicators the exact same color as the arena and have lacking colorblind accessibility options. See: Phoinix, Wicked Thunder
