Not sure if youâre joking or serious or somewhere in between (sarcasm doesnât transfer well on the internets), but that could still be facilitated by third-party meter addons so long as everybody is using the same addon.
Because there is no need for Blizzard to improve the UI, since most players use 3rd party UI addons.
Over the years, Blizzard has added toy/mount tabs, in-game voice chat, mouse over macro, improved AH UI, etc. But it is not enough. A lot more functions shall be added into default UI.
Only banning addons can make Blizzard to work on its only UI, instead of let players relying on 3rd party.
Iâm serious. We literally make a game out of having ridiculous nicknames.
But if all addons were banned like the level 10 character who doesnât even play the game wants we wouldnât have that freedom.
You are definitely trolling.
Theyâve had opportunities to fix the UI for years and havenât done the bare minimum. They literally recorded the text box in late Legion but they didnât add the basic accessibility feature of larger than 18 point font or even a serif font option.
if you say so I guess Iâm not losing much sleep over it though. I do agree in that it would be nice, if they added some of the more used addons into the default ui. Like they did with the quest helper thing.
Yeah Iâm not into full-on banning, just integration of âessentialsâ so that the game is somewhat adequately equipped for group content play expectations from players out of the box and so addon authors have less legwork to do. Ideally, addons should have very little âbrainsâ in their code and should be mostly about user customization, with the game itself filling the majority of the âbrainsâ role.
How is item level compared to gearscore? In-game quest tracking compared to QuestHelper?
Integerated functions will only works faster and smoother than 3rd party addon, not slower.
And we only need to open battle.net to update the game itself, instead of openning curse/twitch/overwolf/wowup or whatever to watch their drama and ads.
The last time Blizzard tried to integrate a popular addon into their game they did such a poor job of it that most people still just use the addon. Pass.
I actually wanted this at one point. I hate the whole parsing thing. Even if your doing good damage players donât take into account when you are dodging mechanics, so your still seen as bad if you lose DPS for 5 seconds. I had this issue with my last guild.
