Thank the titans addons are being removed

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 think it’ll be really interesting to see how people cope without addons telling them what do and when to do it.

You mean people having airhorns go off every time a player pops a CD, because they don’t have eyes?

Personally I think it is good for the game. Feels like most of the PvP community is on that side of things.

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.

I’m glad I never got used to most of this junk. All I use (for pvp) is BGE.

I actually agree with snowbrest on this.
Simple ui grid and key binds …gg

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.

Not sure what you mean? Timer caps like in non rated eots? Or the 3 seconds it takes to cap a node? What addons help with that?

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.

Ah yes. Even though I don’t play av anymore I agree. When a boss is pulled there should be a health bar. Same with gates. Agree!

Casters going to love it far less being interrupted or spell reflected by a player not even looking in your general direction.

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.

Hope this is integrated into the base UI.

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.

Well, there’s a clock in the top corner if you have working eyes.

What kind of a reply is this?

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.

A “bad take” is when people who don’t play at all drop their name in every thread regardless.

A “bad take” is following someone around the forums and claiming they don’t play the game LOL just uninstall wow Snow.

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.

Hell i wouldnt mind for BGE to go away as well.

I abuse the hell out of it, always clicking on enemy healers and constantly pinging them. Moving to wherever they do

I think it has too much value to simply remove it without baking it into the default ui.
