Addons

The Midnight pre-patch marks the removal or sunsetting of many addons from World of Warcraft.

The Midnight pre-patch is almost upon us, and with it will come the long discussed "addon apocalypse," where changes to the back end have either made it impossible to maintain certain addons, or made the task of updating them too daunting for some developers to want to continue.

Blizzard told us when the trilogy of expansions comprising The War Within, Midnight, and The Last Titan, that they would be over time replacing and blocking third party addons that perform computational actions as combat helpers.

In patch 11.1.5, WoW introduced a new UI element called the Cooldown Manager, intended to mimic popular WeakAura packs that display key class cooldowns and ability procs to help players stay on top of their abilities.

World of Warcraft has had addons available since the original beta in 2004, and some of the addons available today have been around since launch.

The World of Warcraft pre-patch is extremely nigh, and no doubt a lot of you are raring to jump into your first taste of The War Within.

Addons in World of Warcraft have been a hot-button topic for a long time.

Last week, World of Warcraft Classic brought a new challenge to players with the launch of official Hardcore realms.

I was in the Deadly Boss Mods Discord server recently, and the channel was talking about bugs and how they are often ‘in the wild’ for multiple versions of an addon before being reported.

The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and we are all playing the Dragonflight pre-patch, which went live on October 25.
