Ban the third party apps then, it's essentially cheating.
All these years later and people still want to try to remake AVR
i fully see what Ion ment with it being an arms race. this is getting ridiculous
Tbh they shouldn't have removed a lot of these features, instead designed raid fights that don't need them. The takeaway they should have gotten from AVR isn't that the UI API is too powerful it should have been that their mechanics clarity absolutely sucks its literally one of the worst in the industry. To this day wow has some of the worst mechanics readability and its what i would consider the number one issue with wow's accessibility for the visually impaired.
remember that wotlk addon that'd give u telegraphs and tell u where to goits time to bring it back brothers
The solution to this is simple: Stop designing content for the cutting edge. They will always do stuff like this. Tune down raiding and focus on the more casual playerbase instead rather than eternally try to stamp out stuff like this.
This sounds literally horrible. It sounds like a world in which you wont be able to pug into early aotc or post hall of fame mythic groups if you dont have some 3rd party software. Likely won't be able to raid with guilds either. PLEASE remove this blizzard. Make it giga bannable.
look up "RDX WoW" or "AVR WoW"both from ICCboth got called cheating and caused permabansboth caused patches till they did not workhow would a similar mod not be called cheating, cause permabans, and cause patches to break it?
Maybe they can get the advanced log to split between realtime player interactions (for things like aug damage), and a delayed update for negative things like boss events and debuffs. Or just update the advanced combat log on a 2 second interval or on a 2 second delay. Even a small delay would likely be detrimental to “relying” on it for the purposes of auras.
Its easy, stop making an overloading amount of mechanics with an absolutely horrible tells. FFXIV managed to do it.We dont need the game being developed around 0.1% of top players.
Its inevitable for people to come up with ideas how to bypass restrictions. There will be an endless game of "cat and mouse" between Blizzard and the playerbase , which might escalate out of control at some point.
I think the biggest positive point may be to reduce lag and increase FPS since you are not using 1 million weak auras
A suggested fix I've seen in comments is to delay the writing to the log by some interval so that once it's available in the log, it would be too late to get useful real-time info out of it. The question is how long should that interval be, the longer delay, the larger the buffer gets and more resources (memory) will have to be used but too short and you could still potential glean some useful information out of it for any hypothetical overlays.
What if we could get an addon that would move our character and use their abilities to optimize dps. Like how smart cars can drive? Then we could just turn it on when it's time to raid and go make a snack in the kitchen if we wanted. Efficiency!
Please for the love of god, no. Neltharion is such an awfully designed fight.
Blizzard should keep it and embrace it. Game is so much better with it. This must be done ASAP:- restore addons access player positions in instances once again.- restore friendly nameplaces customization in instances- add draw hooks for addons so that addon authors can improve existing or add missing visuals for mechanics- delete private aurasThey also should also start adding proper visuals to mechanics themselves and don't require instant reaction to said mechanics to begin with, as most of them currently don't have any (frontals, cleaves etc in M+ this season are good examples, breath on Morchie in new dungeon is horrible and so on).
They'll just have to nerf Combat Logs, I guess.
blizzard makes mechanics that you need to use those features to do the mech, then they see we doing it and say: "daaaamnn"
