Comment by KarthusTeemoThank god they chose to do this slowly overtime like originally promised so they don't have to rush in a super short window to get everything done including during a holiday season.

Oh wait......Comment by dmasterGosh, almost as if trying to re-create 20 years worth of addons in 6 months isn't the best plan.Comment by MmmmhashNameplates are in such a bad state. It really kind of bums me out to think they might not polish this up in time.Comment by ThorfisnsonWho would have thought?Comment by Awahuchmaybe if you would stop letting your addons play the game for you, you would be able to understand why the nameplates go where they go.Comment by DagothUr221Here's a thought: don't touch addons.

"On or before June 2026," indeed.Comment by frostfizzisSeason 1 is gonna be a &*!@show.... Midnight probably launches February 10th(feb 6th for early access), given the time left on remix and the tw event turbulent timeways. Which means prepatch is likely in january.... man s1 gonna be so rough... almost thinking of skipping ngl..Comment by LinaoriGive us nameplate colors! I don't care if blizzard decides how to color, but like this it's unplayable anyway because it takes an eternity to find the right one.Comment by ToxictimboGreat so all they have to do is fix everything and we will be where we were 20 years ago? Let's gooo!Comment by recnatoRelax people, everything will be perfect for the launch, right? ...Right?Comment by undaRelax people, everything will be perfect for the launch, right? ...Right?Comment by nastywafflesxxxlol blizzardComment by CorpselanceWhat about difficulty clicking them to target mobs, for those of us who refuse to use tab targeting?Comment by SinRDare I say it...

That's what the BETA is forComment by Tefelmidnight will be the greatest disaster in wow history. let that sink in. after tww, the most bugged ^&*! blizzard has ever created will be nothing compared to the nightmare midnight will be. the wanted to change everything, and the keep failing on everything. will go down as the worst expension in history.Comment by VitaemoraA function in a Beta version is not working 100%. Shocking :O
Come one. Blizzard has a gorgeous feedback button, use that instead of ragebaiting the community for clicksComment by xh0rrorxDare I say it...

That's what the BETA is forComment by PuupiThe nameplates issue should be Blizzard's #1 focus right now. This @#$% is not acceptable. We can get by with %^&*ty raidframes, sketchy cooldown tracking and boss timers, but the nameplates situation is not okay.Comment by BegroovedA function in a Beta version is not working 100%.
