This is not a solution, it's a work around.
I run Plater naturally so I haven't noticed it yet. I think I have it auto-disable friendly nameplates in dungeons and raids to begin with, and I only let them be on in outdoor content. I remember having click-through issues so it would end up very obnoxious for me to have those bars and stuff.Indeed, this change overall is somewhat baffling, but it all depends on how people were using it. Applying tons of weak-aura style customization to friendlies based on an infinite number of factors is definitely a bit... powerful. I often feel like Plater itself helps me a bit more than most people have easy access to, and I'm barely scratching the surface of customization.It would be nice if Blizzard instead looked at these addons and did their best to incorporate some of what they can do, but I also get why a streamlined universal UI would be an important goal.
Actually it has returned
Blizzard later this week: We have placed Plater on the list of disallowed Addons.Thanks Wowhead.
Something else removed from the UI in DF that players have to add back via addons. What was that about one of the goals of the UI overhaul was to reduce the amount of addons you'd need? All it's done is increased them for me.
It's good to see a work around even if it's fanmade. However, I have to second the person above me since that's one thing Blizzard assured us about.
Maybe blizzard should make friendly nameplates not horrible instead of breaking the ways to fix them. The names are quite literally unreadable by default, why even have them at all? They already allow you to rescale the minimum size of friendly names in the overworld, they should apply that to instanced content, lock it from being changed once combat starts if they really want to. They also need to allow us to put a border on the font, so that it's actually readable.At 1440p I genuinely cannot read a single name that isn't right next to me, and when my camera is zoomed in like 70% of the way. It should have been improved years ago, let alone with the UI revamp.
This is the most addons I've ever had to use just to get the game to function and work as did before DF. It's really frustrating having to download another for something that didn't need messing with.
Clearly a bug that nobody noticed and reported for fixing. This is a very good example of why using Mods when testing is a bad idea and that there should be periods of mod-less testing to ensure that basic functions are still there.I’m pretty sure they do have mods disabled at the start of some testing for Alpha/Beta but I’m not sure about PTR.I think they will probably release a Hotfix with some other stuff that needs tuning in the next few days and this will be included with it
It needed to be re-register. So it wasn't intentional? I feel like this is something Blizzard should have commented on somewhere. Did they never acknowledge this bug/issue players were having with friendly nameplates in instances on like forums/twitter/ ect? Some kind of communication.
