Wholly Crap.. Addons

[the_real_seebs]

I just want threat meter, healing frames and combat log parser.
I also miss Chatterbox

*blush*

Well, I can tell you this much: If the addon API allows it, I will make Chatterbox for RIFT. Oh, man do I want that. I want it soooo much. I miss my funny warlock!

(Trivia point: Chatterbox evolved from an addon that existed entirely so that I could have a warlock do a summoning ritual which was properly interrupted if I aborted the spell cast.)

Give me a dps meter and some addons to make the interface cleaner.

I still play daily.

All I want is proper name plates, a tab target that works how I want it to, and a buff filter.

The one that jumps to mind first would be EVE. Still the second most successful MMORPG on the market behind WOW.

FFXI, Eve .. games that require skill and don't have addons that play for you?

FFXI, Eve .. games that require skill and don't have addons that play for you?

what about having macro's play for you? warriors, clerics, rogues? no addon would make it any easier for them, trust me

the thing about most addons is that it provides the same information as the game, but in a better format. With the exception for bossmods, that is.

Okay, I just have to know:

Everyone has been over this a bazillion times. WoW's addons haven't automated play since Vanilla, and there is no way Trion's addons will automate play. This has been shown in detail with references and citations.

So.

When you keep hammering on this "addons that play for you" thing... Either it means you are not smart enough to comprehend simple English sentences, or that you are saying a thing you know not to be true. Which is it?

>< for the love of god allow us to turn off that damn sticky frames in the ui editor.


all we need is

- spawnable frames
- spawnable bars( regular/ timer)
-what ever Eventharizon would need
-basic combat log parseing
-basic chat parseing (ie boss emotes)
- access to the buff/debuff list
- access to item stats
- access to player stats
- access to talent trees
-access to the invasion events on the map
-access to threat
-draw to the map the world map



basicly the warnings from dbm, cartographer, omen, the less unsavery untilities of gear score, elk buff bars, tellmewhen, cooldowntimers, xpearl, baud manifest, Eventhorizon.

[Karsazilla]

nameplate addon would be nice as well.

Just cancelled my account over this! enjoy WOW guys and Gals cause thats what ya got now!

OMG NEED A HUG??????

Anything that improves the interface is awesome news.
I for one have some visual defects and custom interfaces help me play. I can struggle through but why not give players a way to mold the game to their own play style? It doesn't effect you in a bad way if they enjoy the game more unless your a griefer or you simply enjoy the advantage you might have against players who need something different in the design.

Your quitting over this?
I have so many things I'd like to say but I don't want to get my nuggets spanked for being mean.

API for addons development are not released yet. So let see if Trion holds his word about what they wanted concerning addons and just hope there won't be too many addons to simplify the work of player in-game.

API to be able to get a threatmeter will be welcome.
Parser already allow players to get their kikimeter and i won't be surprised some API to make them part of addons.

I just don't want to see API allowing addons to play for you.
