Does anyone know if the addon called GTFO will also break when Midnight releases?

I hope not. I’m color blind and I rely on it heavily. But seeing how many things are going to be broken /removed, I don’t think I’ll be playing anymore.

Sounds like it tells you to get out of the fire during combat encounters.

If so, yes, it’s probably going to be nuked from orbit.

Exactly! I have depth perception issues, this combined with all the spell visuals going on, I cannot always tell if I left a toe standing in something, or if that puddle is starting to slowly expand. I don’t know if I can play well without this addon.

This is the type of response that lets people know you don’t think about anyone else’s needs past your own experiences. It’s not always about, “being bad.” It’s about accessibility options for differently-abled people. GTFO is a great example of this. People with vision disabilities and neurological disorders can’t see a blue puddle on a slightly different blue floor, or even a red puddle on a green floor. Even the Blizzard color blind options are extremely limited. Blizzard incorporates 3 types, but there are numerous sub-categories that aren’t accounted for. If Blizzard doesn’t create their own GTFO that anyone can use, the elimination of that addon will make it so tons of people can’t play.

That’s not counting the nearly infinite accessibility options that WeakAuras provides.

Thank You! Well said!
I don’t get mad at posts like that, though, because, at the very least, help bump the thread so that someone with real knowledge (like you) might see it and respond. :smile:

Yes. My friend, they won’t even allow raid notes. The lulz have won out, it’s joever.

I use GTFO and the annoying ‘beep beep beep’ tells me to move, even if I don’t immediately know why I’m moving, so there’s that.

In the video I watched yesterday, the game is adding ‘combat warnings,’ so I hope blaring audio comes as a setting with that. 'Move, dummy" is appreciated.

I watched a vid this morning from the maker of DBM, he said bliz is trying to work it so that they don’t break raid notes and such.

Blizzard Posts Midnight Addon Update & WeakAuras Dead

Unfortunately, yes. Unless more changes to the addon APIs are rolled back, Blizzard has completely broken it in Midnight.

If it helps you do combat, it’s on the chopping block.

It’s pretty much that simple. If the addon needs to actively be watching and looking at things happening in real time combat situations to do its job, it’s going to be DOA since it is being cutoff from their ability to do that.

What does GTFO do? Oh it tells you when you’re in something ouchy which is a combat thing meaning it’s not gonna know or be able to tell you.

Changes to allow raid notes to remain have already been announced.
