Hi I am curious, when I install addons via your zip file will I be able to update via CurseForge afterwards? Or will I need to manually update all of the addons within the zip?

[@AXLee27]

What addon do you guys use for enemy's minion nameplates? I don't think I caught it in the video.

[@bigbobam8857]

I use Nameplate CD instead of flyplate. Would you say that's as good too?

[@JoseAntonio-pb7nd]

This guide is what I truly needed to get me all set up for arenas this season 3, fantastic!

[@dolan5312]

This is amazingly well thought out and thorough. Ive been using plater nameplates and been having problems with it causing game lag and showing buffs and debuffs i don't need. Switched to flyplates, big debuffs, and WA, and its sooooo much better. love you guys

[@ItsBarnabyJones]

do you have to do any setup for flyplate buffs?

[@sileahcimmasrs6882]

Flyplatebuffs keeps bugging with me... to many errors

[@okayokayokayokayokayokayokay]

hey have you experienced that omnibar dosnt save? i spend ages setting it up and now its gone and back to fresh

[@Levelity]

I can't recommend downloading this addon pack. There is some conflict where your action bars will stop working. Specifically a bug where dragonriding won't cycle back to your normal action bar, action bar 5 won't display cooldowns or keybinds. I feel like Advanced Interface options might be the addon but I can't be sure. Anytime I've ever had that addon, my ui has never worked properly.

[@fabrizioirahola5047]

Amazing guide!, what's the name of that font?

[@Iqs-p]

great guide, however, you mentioned to untick minor and minion in nameplates and that it will be explained further on. Not sure this was explained. what addon is best to sort this out? i need this to take down totems and psyfiend etc.

[@wallEEE1337]

delete all of your current addons first, overwrite any duplicate addons when copying over the addons folder, or delete all your addons your addon manager of choice before installing the addon pack

[@SneakyTurtle228]

Hi, I copied the Edit move and Pasted into wow but when it popped up things where in Weird places? I am guessing that's because my monitor is to small?

[@shadowsift]

how to stop the gladius part frame getting greyed out all the time? I tried setting transparency to 0 and 1 but nothing helps!

[@ivogatovski2862]

the reason I dislike WoW as much as I love the game. You need to spend so much time setting up your UI/macros/skills/action bars to have a proper gameplay. I feel so overwhelmed by all of this, instead of just installing the game and play (like GW2). Thank you for the guide though, I will still follow it, despite my personal frustration with WoW's UI.

[@jcvm8915]

Guys plz i need help all my weakauras are having some issues with the Sound efects ingame like if im just turn down all weakauras work properly, but if i activate the Sound Efects again in game they all stop working , only the sounds is so weird

[@denounce9160]

my bars bugs out whenever i enter a arena combat like cds and everything just kinda bugs out

[@jamiec3808]

Can't seem to get my head around flyplatebuffs settings, it shows a mass of spells but they are not in order of class so the guide is pretty useless, the Omnibar was fairly easy to setup from the guide but flyplatebuffs without an import can't be simplified :( If there is an easier way please let me know!

[@WhiteChode101]

Does anyone know why the top action bar always disables and wont let me use any of those keybinds? been really throwing me off when I do anything.,

[@rickrollicking]

Hello, is the addon pack on Discord already set up with the correct settings as well as the addons? Or is it just the addons and we have to set them up ourselves? Thanks!

Im impressed with the volume of relevant info in this video. After watching this Im pretty much overwhelmed at how much more Id have to know than I can process with my mere human mind. Guess thats why Im still at 665 MMR after 150 rounds of solo shuffle on a DH with ilvl 419 PvP gear. lol. cry.

[@JRileyD]

and that will be your gaming experience for the rest of time on here swear to god. the learning curve on addon setup and getting everything optimum is killing the game for new players. As soon as someone tells them they suck at end game cause they need 3rd party addons, tons and you need to watch hours of how tos to set up optimumly and learn how to read all that at the end of it your game doesnt look like complete trash on the screen. New players will not come to play this.

Ok, then he looked at my ilvl399 i been accumulating for days and says "looks rough, what afdons you using" i trll him none he takes his time, tells me his and which solo shuffle and rbg to get conquest. After that convo i spent hours on those addons to yhe point i said this is NOT fun AT ALL. I am wasting time and i swear ill do worse trying to track all this garbage. I been playing without addons and i top the charts in most bgs. I dont understand it i know when i gey into rbg soloshiffle arena ima get face smashed probably but id rather play and enjoy the game and have fun doing it then it be a job. Ive been in this position with WoW over and over and over get max geared, stumble over addons. I say fuckem this time I dont even care. I got a damage meter thatd it.

[@JRileyD]

@@simeonbuchert1457 they need to get rid of addons and take the mentality of FF that is doing a lot better and get rid of this user inputted 3rd party addons. Watch the sweaty andys get so upset that your take their system built outside the game away from them. Addons are fucking trash.

[@sileahcimmasrs6882]

Hi, lately flyplatebuffs seems to be bugging out a lot including tons of LUI errors. Is there an addon that replaces flyplatebuffs that works without bugging out all the time?

[@leggie9565]

Does the discord link work. I get the accept invite but when discord opens its not there.

[@nikolabanovic4833]

When setting up player/enemy/focus frames, I find that the player frame is unecessary, as you can see your own health and personal resource on raid frames, and for maelstrom/energy/whatever else you might need just make a weakaura. That way you further reduce unecessary information on the screen

[@crioTimmy]

In his updated for Dragonflight WA class packs, Luxthos added an option for tracking health. A simple bar, right along with all the trackers, right in the middle of your screen. I fucking love it. Mind you, I for the time being I can only occacionally play WoW in internet cafe, so no hardcore content, but still, I love the idea.

they need to ban addons so egos like you describe born out of NOT helping the player base get taken out of the game.
