honestly the more patches I see from blizz in midnight with turbo broken shit, the more I swing from angry bewilderment to grudging admiration that these wild motherfuckers imagined they could do 8 week content releases AND overhaul addons simultaneously
shit goes crazy π«‘
this is fundamentally where a lot of addon discourse is breaking down: I hate the default frames, ft is talking about combat addons. these are not the same thing
I spend MORE time staring at the default ui bc and less time watching the game bc of how long it takes to parse info
If Beta UI isn't MASSIVELY overhauled by the time the game releases it can actually single handedly kill wow pvp for good.
You have acess to no information and stuff like nameplates and partyframes are cluttered beyond belief with random stuff you don't care about.
me in october: little weird the state-sponsored dmg meters aren't in the game yet
apologists: so what, it's still alpha
me in november: ah I see that we did the ilvl squish bc they're going to make us calculate our dps manually with an abacus
@jdotb big fan of ion saying he doesn't expect blind faith to pull it off, then the engineering team immediately sending a message to the addon dev discord saying they aren't going to have time to address all the problems before launch.
ion said he's confident the ui team can navigate the addon apocalypse before midnight but the last time blizz made a hasty game-altering change was augvoker. this bricked wow for like a year and a half until blizz nerfed aug into irrelevance, pretending like it never happened

ion isn't wrong that influencers dominate the discourse around wow, but also the last time blizzard responded to anything in the community council forums (you know, the group chosen by blizzard to be the voice of the common man) was Sept 2024
Moving to Germany was the single biggest mistake I ever made in 12 years of running a business.
I genuinely have no idea how this country even runs.
My advice for people thinking of running a business from Germany? Run and never look back.
(I know this is a bit weird) Thanks to Blizzard we have a Dreadlord Regalia Pack to give away!

we're 4 (?) months away from midnight where by all accounts we will be entirely reliant on blizzard's new ui, and they don't even have a working damage meter to show us on alpha yet
this addon change is happening way too fast
