So, been reading about Era and Season of Discovery being on the same client now. Saw there was an extended maintenance yesterday. Other than some of my addons being broken, what exactly has changed in Era that has gotten so many upset?

The UI interface has changed, but there have been no other changes

I only played for a couple of hours last night and I saw a new GY in BRM and I couldnāt mount on boats. Someone else mentioned layers being back.
These āchangesā arenāt intentional, most of these are SoD updates breaking various aspects of Era.

Mouse look and mouse sensitivity was way off and I had to reenable the action bars for every single character I have.
Couple that with addons that once again needing to be updated and tweaked and its all annoying as hell. Some bugs (like mounting) present themselves with every SoD update.
Not changes per se but something Era players should never have to deal with.

Oh they changed something? Been playing whole day yesterday, didnāt notice any change lol
āCombatā is in the worst state Iāve seen it in my entire time ever playing WoW.
Also they broke [Ornate Spyglass]. It no longer works. At all.

Aside from about half of existing addons being broken until they get updates, lots of little random things are just āoffā.
Control settings, system settings, scales of tooltips, scale of chat UI, action bars, boats unmountable, the game window itself defaulted to some weird custom resolution for me that offset the positioning of several addons that were still working. Mob mechanics just feeling ādifferentāā¦ their pathing, leash distance, and distance before they meleeā¦ itās like everything is at a slightly different scaleā¦ for no reason.
Era players spent months (some years) fine-tuning UI positioning and control settings to optimize their gameplay in a version that is not supposed to be changing.
Simply put, the devs are just causing new headaches for Era players that want nothing more than to be left alone.

I have a variety of macro I found out yesterday that simply can no longer work, and that is ok but it was certainly a surprise.
Something feels off also if you play backstab combat, it almost feels like the backstab talent doesnāt work, tho it could be some really bad RNG but six non crits in a row should be possible @66% crit chance on backstab. Also felt like poisons were not procān much at all,
Let me know what your experience has been.
Also I noticed when trying to help a friendly rogue who over pulled; I could not sheep his extra for him because āTarget is tappedā; that is purely annoying and also cost the lil guy his life because I couldnāt peel the add.

They broke mounting on Boats/ Zeppelins, still broken
About every single addon was broken
Chronoboons and the sod mage charms were available breifly on reagent vendors
Some SoD specific NPCs were in areas of the game in Era
Class specific changes from SoD have been bleeding over to Era like Paladins being able to Judgement Twist (fun and welcome minor QoL for prot/ret) was removed in SoD and removed in Era
You can no longer use any macro with /click and it appears to no be restricted in the API due to the āYou canāt click Petri off anymoreā change in SoD which is just very sloppy coding.
Iām sure there are many more but those are the ones I saw personally

My BWL raid wiped and rezzed in the middle of BRM (near the ghost dwarf) instead of in the Searing Gorge.

Some functions that addons rely on have also been affected.
Weakauras icons seems to no longer be able to fetch whether or not an ability is in range of your target.
Also had a friend say it looks like enemy name plate range was increased, though I havenāt investigated that personally, iām not sure how youād really measure it.

I am running zero addons presently and it doesnāt appear to have changed, Iām trying to augment with cvar but no dice. Was sorta excited but oh wells
I did actually have the feeling that something was wrong with my backstab critical chance and now that you have said something about it too Iām thinking that my suspicions are confirmed and youāre probably right. I definitely noticed it wasnāt critting like it usually does.
Can you elaborate on this some? Im curious cause I havent played since the patch

Iām guessing we canāt cancel auras in macros if we are in combat now?
/cancelaura Bloodrage
The friend list can now display the location information of friendsā maps unilaterally. This is reversing
plug-in unit action bar The value of the medicine item will not change after consumption, and it will only decrease after restarting the game
You canāt ride horses on the airship anymore
I found a fun bug. I cast hurricane in AV. Iām hitting like 10+ targets, Iām very obviously in combat. Somehow I drop combat after 5 seconds of hurricaning (still damaging people) then just immediately drink afterwards. Happens every time, not a once off.

Im also experiencing weird things that just feel āoffā.
Had a mob (green) follow me like a quarter of the way across the zone before finally disengaging. Didnāt hit him once. Weak Auras not functioning like they used to. Graphical glitches. Mouse disappears from game sometimes when I alt-tab, forcing me to force-quit the game from the OS.
Bunch of other small things too.
Cāmon Blizzā¦
