Comment by RaithanOh please wowhead, dont make a separate post for every type of addon...
How about a consolidated post instead?Comment by SgtGrumblesNeed to know if Kuinameplates will work in Midnight.Comment by karajaedenFrom a gameplay perspective. I'm really dreading Midnight.Comment by AlexWaffI'll try to customize and use the default only at first, but if that fails, Platynator looks a lot like KUI Nameplates (which is what I use) so that'd be okay.Comment by SlacklusterFor those that don't know, Platynator is from the same author as Auctionator, Chattynator, and a few others. Big recommend.Comment by TOMRUSOfc they made it much worse for everyone. But that's new standard that Blizzard keeps delivering. Shame...Comment by JinokunI'm happy I switched to blizzard nameplates during the Legion rework so this will be an easy switch for meComment by eojsmadaOh please wowhead, dont make a separate post for every type of addon...

Like, a static value? And ideally abbreviated for larger numbers, like 1.5k, etc.?Comment by erro3I hope everyone has plenty of popcorn for pre-patch day.Comment by Trelani10I'm hoping there is a way to display the HP in terms of millions. I hate the way 3335k looks on nameplates. Kind of the only reason I use name plate addons.Comment by GabrijelCzI'll try to customize and use the default only at first, but if that fails, Platynator looks a lot like KUI Nameplates (which is what I use) so that'd be okay.Comment by RubyurekNeed to know if Kuinameplates will work in Midnight.Comment by FroschlampiNo one asked for them to break custom apis. What we wanted is to get rid of custom add-ons that manage raid encounters. Not listening and then creating whatever elseComment by PrimalcruxI just want classes color coded on their namesComment by aimohfrizbyNeed to know if Kuinameplates will work in Midnight.
