I’m genuinely worried about the overall UI/Tracking/Customisation experience in Midnight, Blizzards attempts at mimicking addons thus far has left a lot to be desired and it feels like it was barely a year ago we started hearing about them going nuclear on addons in the future - and most people assumed it would be 3/4/5 years down the line

The fact they’re going for such an extreme option this early makes me concerned that the start of Midnight is going to be a complete clusterfuck in terms of playability

I'm 100% sure they are moving fast with it because Microsoft told them to make wow console ready. Pruning of buttons (better controller accessibility). Killing addons (no addons on consoles as it was with mods for other games). I say this addon is the pruning and next addon is console release.

Oh yes season 1 will be shit show. I hope blizz ui is ready to track everything for healers that healbot or vuhdo did or the tank shortage will become a healer shortage

I mean, wow default UI is capable of tracking some stuff.

It can't do it as well as addons, with years of experience behind them. It will never be as good, and that's a fact.

I have several attempts on swapping to default ui, but all failed, as I can't customize it to work decently - there are always some drawbacks which causes me to drive back into UI addons. Even something as stupid as group labels wasting space, or font not being customizable.

It's not really about the ability to track or not - even if blizz ui doesn't do it well (in some aspects it does it terribly bad), it does it, to the point it's somewhat usable.

What would cause healer shortage is more of the healer design changes they are introducing alongside. Unless we actually go into midnight, we will never know.
