As others have put it, not just hot, steaming take.
Then donât, thatâs completely optional for the most part.
If your own UI, doesnât make sense to you when you return after a break. Thatâs called an user error, not the fault of the addons.
Also WoWUp is great for solving the issue of Out of date addons since Curseforge got bought by Wolf.
No.
Whenever an addon overstepped what your referring too and made a mechanic âtoo easyâ Blizzard stepped in and updated their policies against such a thing. I believe the last instance of this was back in Legion.
Otherwise, while addons make player life easier⊠itâs not to the extent of which your speaking of.
Nothing personal, but they would lose more money from banning a QoL thing like Addons which have been around for majority of WoWâs life. Then anything, you or anyone for that matter could suggest to increase revenue in compensation.
Also addons are completely optional, if you donât like them. Donât use them, I still have friends that use Default they are far too lazy to set that up. They arenât for everyone. Granted that also depends on the content that you want to do, but stillâŠ
Are you suggesting iâm blind with all those addons? What kind of point is that?
Obviously, no, the addons doesnât hamper my vision, nor immersion in any way. In some cases it might even increase the immersion if i wanted to. Like LeatrixPlus to turn off those darn annoying talking heads. Or. Or⊠WeakAuras and Bartender4 combo where i can make the Healthbarâs disappear completely and make it like a shooter game from an Xbox 360. You know the ones, the ones where you hide in brownish realistic looking cover wall for 80% of the game, and you heal 0 to 100 2 seconds flat after 2 seconds of waiting after getting shot that is practically godmode and get that gameplay broken up with QTEs every single time you blink? You remember those?..
I mean have you even seen my UI? Itâs not that bad. Actually, lemme find that image iâve took.
âŠWell yeah. It is my choice. Itâs my choice to pick the addons i want, for whatever i want and whenever i want, and sometimes it comes at a sacrifice of immersion or might even enhance it depending on what i want or set it up as.
Whatâs your point? I mean i fail to see how this is bad?
Whilst I certainly would like Blizzard to offer more up to date UIs and something more like weakaura as a part of the basic package, I canât imagine a cold ban on all addons would do anything but nuke what little good will there is.
Been too much of a part of the game, for too long to go back now.
How about nuke the problematic addons and leave the vast majority of the other ones alone.
Weakauras is the worst of the worst here. Anything players use WA for the devs should be giving you themselves. DBM is riding the line too. Stop making fights have 10 bajillion mechanics and classes/specs tracking umpteen megajillion things that basically necessitate a computer doing the bulk of the mental work the player themselves should be doing.
Addons should be strictly quality of life with any that the overall playerbase as seeing as useful and âmandatoryâ being incorporated into the game after fighting out why and what the initial design is lacking that made it so.
Might be a fun challenge without addons. Would be less fun if only a few played without addons and others had addons.
I like addons. But I would like the choice to be on an add-off realm server. Before War Mode, there were PvP realms where everyone was always flagged for PvP combat. Itâs different, to say the least, but it was a choice that did not prevent other players from playing PvE on Normal realms.
Yea fair enough. It would be interesting to see what it was like but Iâm not sure how many players you would get. It would have to be separated from sharing and crz etc too so getting players for groups etc might be hard.
Addons are great. When I started playing again with shadowlands it didnât take long for me to find the same or similar 50+ addons I used to have in wrath. I love information at my fingertips and the qol improvements.
Do you know how much you can use WeakAuras for? Forget all the dungeon and raid stuff youâre thinking of thereâs a mountain of other stuff you can use WeakAuras for, you want Blizz to offer 100% of that?
I do wish I could have the friendly names in dungeons as their class colours without hp bars just names. It would make it so much easier to see who is where. But I guess me having that allows too much other stuff probably. Itâs a bummer though.
Ideally, yes. Weakauras - or something like it - should have been part of the game from the outset. However, that ship sailed long ago, so it is largely unfair to expect A: Blizz to ban it now and B: expect Blizz to replace it now.
take.
