When do AddOns "break"?

Anyone know if Blizzard is killing “combat” AddOns for patch 11.2.7 on Dec 2, 2025?

Or will AddOns be “broken” in the midnight pre-patch, or when midnight drops in March 2026?

I’m hoping they don’t bust them for patch 11.2.7 as that is TOO SOON.

Probably whenever pre-patch hits for Midnight.

Well, enjoy your addons while you have em, I look forward to them going away and the advantage being taken away.

The API changes will most likely hit on the 12.0 patch.

12.0 any add on not updated for 12.0 will break whether combat related or not due to api changes.

So if you have an add on that works fine but hasn’t been ipdated since bfa well it’s going to break as well and will no longer be loadable.

And break every raid on heroic and mythic because we all know the Devs are not going to go back and adjust them.

I don’t believe that will happen… I believe the players who are competent will still be able to do all of the content. It’s all about adapting and knowing what you are doing.

I’m not concerned about Blizz changing how combat addons are being dealt with.

I’m not a fan of the potential collateral damage, like ElvUI, Bartender4, etc. I probably use a bunch of non-combat AddOns that’ll probably get busted.

Laughs in Ascension.

January 20th is 12.0 then give it a week.

Addons will break during pre-patch most likely

On the pre patch naturally.
Looking forward to all the inflated egos bursting when it drops.

For me I’m ok with the combat addons going. Only one that’s fully dying for me is instance achivment tracker. It’s going to be annoying doing pug glory runs. Luckly i have done most of them allready.

I also use handy notes, seems like it’s combat side is going but all the other tracking is staying

They still work on PTR for 11.2.7

No 12.0

Remember the 12.0 patch drops a month or so before midnight is activated and said patch. Our talents and whatnot are not changing in 11.2.7. Thats 12.0

12.0 will probably go live at the end of January

i’ll be there, having the biggest melt down ever

It’s not about doing the content it’s about not having to use a UI developed by underpaid interns that don’t even play the game.

I feel like a lot of y’all never used the UI… because it literally does most of what y’all are asking for, what is your gripe with the UI?
