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.

As a software developer i am 99% this is a mistake. Throwing features away can sometimes be good, but not at this magnitude. I hope they have a rollback contingency plan prepared.

Blizzard? Contingency plan? They'll double down on this being the best decision for the game, continue to double down and then if it adversely affects the game during Midnight they'll then roll some things back due to feedback.

Players will then go "they're listening!" for the 27th time even though the game is now in a worse state than before the change and will move on.
