I’ve been suffering from a problem where my resolution is getting reset to 66% every time I launch the game, and resampling is disabled. I tried removing Nvidia App, trying to change which config folder WoW launcher calls, etc etc. An no, my Config.wtf was NOT set to read only.
Finally I deleted all my addons and everything works now. Without lame addons to break the game this won’t happen any more.
I’m genuinely excited to see how it all plays out. I honestly think that a lot of “Good players” are going to struggle without addons telling them how to play. I’m predicting the average rating will plummet (by at least 100 pts., if not more) and the rating bell curve will shift to the lower end.
They need to make timers baseline though. Trying to play battlegrounds without something like Capping is going to be a miserable experience if they don’t update the base UI.
Timers on objective captures showing how long until a node is captured.
Health for walls and gates in WG and IoC.
Boss health for epic battlegrounds.
This information is either completely missing from the default UI (capture timers), or are really hard and hidden to actually check in-game (boss and wall/gate health).
Though I don’t know if Capping is going to be affected by the API changes or not, but if it is they absolutely need to add it to the default UI. It’s absurd that you don’t get any capture timers or objective tracking in a game in 2025.
I will miss DBM for pvp, just about the only pvp add-on that doesn’t kill my computer. It’s really basic info too. Like when something is getting capped.
Will be interesting, my only concern is for healers in general. Lot of us use Vuhdo and its very good that the wow ui cannot do. So far its staying but will be limited. Long as I can just click someone and heals im good.
AB and Deepwind have 5 bases.
IoC has 5 bases and 2 bosses.
AV has, if I count right, 15 towers and graveyards plus 4 bosses.
Ashran has 7 bosses.
Wintergrasp has 3 offense towers and like a dozen defensive structures, plus 4 workshops.
Are you really saying that people should remember the capture timers when almost every other game in 2025 has this information in the base UI?
What game hides objective progress? What a bad take.
If they would utilize the talking head that would be great. Imagine if a voice track said “your boss is under attack” “your boss is at %” “snowfall has been taken” “hangar is taken/lost” you would’nt need stupid data add-ons. Turn up down volume for bots who don’t care, ect.
Put data bars on the map when you open it, showing tower health percentage, boss percentage, ect.
