Overwolf is a cancer we cannot allow in Wow

Oh, thanks, i mean you didn’t need to but thanks. :slight_smile:

So i’m looking over the list and … i feel like this list could’ve been better optimized here, like some addons like hide talking heads aren’t needed since Leatrix Plus has that option, and a few others that can be done in either Weak Auras and/or Leatrix Plus. :confused:

Again, you do you. That’s what i would personally do if i were in your shoes. If you do well with 112 addons, then that’s good. I’m just curious, what exactly you need all of them for.

Oh yeah, there’s no denying that what Overwolf has done is pretty silly. The only thing sillier then that is to restrict manual downloading at this point. That’s pretty much a death sentence for them.

Considering Overwolf’s horrid rep and them wanting to slap this restriction onto addons… makes me want to use their service less, not more. Thankfully I have found a streamlined way to update addons for now, that is not Overwolf.

I have roughly 20 addons (most of which are just basic quality of life things Blizzard has not added yet) so finding a new addon updater was needed for me! Yes I used to do manual but that was when I had 5 addons.

You play the game how you want. You do not get to choose how someone else plays the game, let alone which addons they get to use. Opinions are like buttholes. Everyone has them.

Fair enough. I am simply offering a recommendation that he can take or leave it.

Meh, it’s like 3 clicks to make a gif

Got HTT during legion like the first week before LTP, I wonder when LTP added that option.

Well that would be quite a long post lol Everything has its reason for being there.

I certainly won’t be making any addons into weakauras :rofl: Who will maintain it? Me? No. I’d rather have someone else do the work and I just update it :man_shrugging:

I honestly never maintain much of my Weak Aura addons. Well i say addons very loosely, their just import strings that creates an addon ingame for you when you copy and paste it in.

Ehh, Fair enough i suppose. :man_shrugging:

I think it’s like a year ago or something, but yea, i was in the same place as you were in.

I seriously wish Blizzard just put in an option to hide dialogue boxes in the interface options already. :neutral_face:

I’m pretty sure Israel would be willing to enforce something on them if Blizzard said “They’re violating our international IP”

Hopefully WoWup can get around this.
Else I guess I’ll have to majorly thin out my mod list and updoot it all manually… man thats gunna suck.

Bottom line is I for one won’t be inviting the wolves in :confused:

Yep I ain’t gonna support that overwolf, gotta go back to Wotlk and Cata days.

I have at least 1 character for every spec so I use premade weakauras that I adjust to suit my needs, usually just removing some stuff that I don’t need and making other things bigger or smaller and adding in some things that are missing.

If you go onto https://wago.io/weakauras you can find weakauras for every spec :open_mouth:

And if you open a spec and sort by “stars” you’ll find the top weakaura setups are made by the same people. I tend to stick with those as they will update them as needed. If there’s a new tier set ability (:rofl:) or BiS azerite trait to track it’ll get added in and you can use the WeakAuras companion to keep them updated

all of this is just showing how deep the cancer is in gaming. overwolf micro$oft and others are out to screw gaming and gaming over.

support the good guys folks companies like sony, square and others who care about you the gamer. companies who don’t force spyware on us or microtransaction everything. companies who don’t put force politics in games and hear out those of us who care about vidya.

No problemo :slight_smile: Wago also has plater modules, elvui profiles, and vuhdo profiles to make setting up addons quick and easy :slight_smile:

or you can play ffxiv that doesn’t allow bs like this to happen

MAYBE THATS THE RIGHT IDEA

Well, that’ll never happen. I am a permanent fixture in wow and I’ll never leave. Also I’m told that FF doesn’t have addon support and there’s only really one thing people use (some combat logger) so it’s understandable why it could never happen lol.

Thats a big maybe. If it were affecting international trade relation status? perhaps. But as long as what they are doing doesn’t violate Israeli law (and those laws (Israel’s not their access laws) have pretty stiff punishments so getting caught crossing those lines might be a little rough on the clothes legally speaking) or endanger trade negotiations with one of Israel’s trade partners then meh they aren’t likely to come down on them.

Because it is something a person with very basic knowledge of web development can make in very little time. And because it is so simple, there are probably many alternatives already done. It is just a basic file system with an api.

No, I think that the people who develops them can upload them very easily to somewhere else.

Well, not any more, there seems to be a big demand for curse client competitors.

So why would a company chill attack said company in almost every political stance they take?

Yes, I’m sure you would think that, but I’m very skeptical that you are capable to debunk an entire school of economics.

Except the add-ons themselves will not be uploaded there, the developers have no incentive to upload anywhere else.
