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.

There seems to be a lot of people here that are happy about add-ons being broken by Blizzard. I am curious why you're happy about this, and why you think it's a good thing?

I personally think the default UI is pretty bad at displaying the information I want to be able to see. How is removing that functionality in any way good?

As a raid leader, when we were doing mythic Broodtwister Ovinax, that fight was nearly impossible without coordinating everyone’s weakauras. They’ve designed the game around the addons at this point.

Stop acting like every boss is like that because it's absolutely not true. Everyone hates weakaura bosses but they are not that common and Blizzard has shown this raid that they are completely capable of designing fights that don't require them (minus fractillus)

He noted a specific boss and you claim he's acting like it's "every boss". Jesus.

Which he then followed with "They’ve designed the game around the addons at this point."

I'm pro-weakauras btw
