Addons that read the combat log

Anyway to not broadcast my combat log.

As in if someone has a find player addon or show cast bar. Anyway to keep from not showing to enemy faction? For classic

Like a stealth addon against addons.

Don’t believe so, don’t really see the point of it given the fact that one’s toon plays the spell casting movement. Along with the fact the those actions happen on the server and shown to other players.

Classic with out an addon. You can’t detect players unless a hunter.

You cannot see caster bar without an addon.

So, why would be an issue if I created one or someone else or Blizzard had an options where didn’t broadcast.

Something like combat log inactive make it go both ways I wouldn’t be able to use addons while it’s active and someone couldn’t use said addons against me.

If you’d like to suggest such a change, you’ll want to post in the Classic General forums. CS isn’t visited by the developers for in-game suggestions unfortunately.

Really it’s not a change.
Addon/mod is a change. I would like something against them in PvP that give additional abilities.

Oh didn’t know they don’t come here. It’s customer support forums.

If you’re referring to an add-on, Blizzard doesn’t make any add-ons. Those are all third parties.

And no, CS has never been a feedback forum.

THere’s a few things to know:

  1. If you’re going to be in battlegrounds, there isn’t a way to really ghost in them.

  2. Any and all data is sent to the server and to every player in the battleground. Things like the leaderboerd in there tracks who’s healing, doing damage or what have you.

  3. There’s no way to really hide yourself, as I said in 2, because there isn’t a way to send your info to the server and the other folks won’t know. They’re going to wonder who damage/healed/killed them.

What about WPvP?

More referring to it tells enemy casting time now. So it starts a timer which allows them to see a bar.
Like to disrupt that part and if I killed a boar no where near player but a warning comes up over enemy players screen.

Again, it sounds like you’re looking for the game to work differently than it currently does.

I was talking to other op that gave information about it. Which I can see addon that would say who is what or damage received.

Something that doesn’t broadcast enemy player begins casting is now casting blank. Then addon detects it in combat log gives eta from the caster cast time. Which gives enemy player additional ability to see casting bar. Sorry on phone.

If I don’t attack player but cast a spell on PVE target. Detects player in ur area.

Not really addon just to be able de-active certain things in combat log in settings. It would effect me as well. So, turn it off in PVE and turn it on for PvP.

Currently looking at UI codes. Thinking of trying.

I’d be extremely surprised if you could make that work. It doesn’t make sense from a technical design viewpoint for players to be broadcasting actions in text directly to other players in the way you’re describing; that’d introduce an additional layer of overhead without benefit. It’s far more likely the server is communicating your actions and the client is itself generating the log.

A benefit would be to players that don’t use addons. To put it back to regular how it was created to be.

As a player that use addon to get an advantage and other person using a setting/addon to make said addon void.

The caster addon would still work against other ppl with addon or other ppl that wouldn’t get said addon/settling.

It would make PvP a little more interesting
