Yeah, but there are a couple of things about the default UI that I just absolutely hate enough that if I couldn't get around them I wouldn't play the game. The big one is the default bar and the almost as big one is having access to class-specific spells/auras/stances in a pop-up menu button (the autobar class bar).

It's fine in the betas to be mucking about with the default UI, but I can't be productive with the default UI.

That, on the other hand, I've never seen the appeal of. I LIKE having separate bags. It's how I organize stuff. unequipped equipment in bag 5, quest items in bag 4, junk in the backpack and bag 2, misc overflow in bag 3. Normally I only open the backpack and maybe bag 2.

Fo9r a bar and All-In-One bags look in the McRun thread - I think Cogwheel wrote the whole macro-addon system to work in the alpha...

/run and /script is banned too, so no.

Seerah 07-15-10 03:10 PM

This last patch disabled the /run, /script, and /dump commands. Again, they would like you to test THEIR addons first. :p

OttoDeFe 07-15-10 03:15 PM

Ah... not in the beta (mebbe if they offer - not really a dev in any way so I figure it's more important for those that can be helpful to get in there). Thanx for the info!

AlleyKat 07-15-10 03:21 PM

lets make some addons via "/run"
:D:D
lol /run not working ^(

Ferous 07-15-10 03:21 PM

The only thing i need to play default is BindPad.... And MoveAnything :P

Kallieen 07-15-10 03:25 PM

Combuctor.

And OPie. So much more stuff I have to cram onto bars now. >.<

kasca 07-15-10 04:02 PM

Cartographer
There no other map mod like it...sigh. I had to use 3 differant ones to get anything like it :mad:

Tuller 07-15-10 04:17 PM

So far, I'm not missing anything except for /run :P

Yea there was no bug report about it so I made one in game as well as in the bug report forum,

Which is all very fine and well - but when you've replaced most of Blizz's interface with custom work, you put yourself in a "you don't know what you don't know" situation. That's my point. Not that it's good to use the default, but that it's good to get back in touch with the default every once in a while, to see if there are addons you're using that you CAN do without. It's not practical to do so on raid night, but beta's a nice opportunity.

All-in-ones will do that for you, automatically, except you can have more than five-subgroups. However, it's not for everyone, and it lacks the solid feeling of "this is in this bag". I'm like that with Windows 7 - libraries bug me, I want to work in a folder-based world.

Click casting

I have to agree on that - I also miss Clique/Click2Cast a whole lot. Using macros for now, but it's just not the same :(
While the new development group frames already provide a Grid-like display (even with buffs and debuffs on them, though in a weird space), they are quite buggy - not showing party pets, having oneself seperated (and unmovable >.<).
On the other hand, default party frames show party pets - but they don't seem to be mouseover enabled, so those macros don't work.

Second in list would be junk selling and all in one bags.

They have that this is the first pass on the new party/raid frames. They will be movable, and you will be able to change them to display horz. also.

Default unitframes suck so much, other than that everything is fine.
tho for proper damage in dungeons i'll need timers, but that is mostly unitframes fault again.

VincentSDSH 07-16-10 08:55 AM

Dominos -- hands down the thing I'm missing most. The standard layout for action buttons makes me feel like I'm in a straight-jacket.

BethinkWoW 07-16-10 09:35 AM

I am missing mostly Quartz, and a DoT/Cooldown timer.

Morsker 07-16-10 09:31 PM

ActionBarSaver. The mobs in Deepholm have piles of hp, and I kept respeccing trying to find a better soloing build; redoing keybinds is a real chore without this mod.

I also miss Quartz just because I spend so much time staring at it.

Naria 07-19-10 11:42 AM

tbag without a doubt.

for dungeons, recount would be nice... i am having really different numbers from live and would like to investigate where its coming from, if its my cast times that are different, is my dps really lower... i dont feel like doing a combat log parser :)

Oh absolutely. And I do that myself at times by disabling everything but Dominos and running around on a lowbie 70-79 toon. But even then, I can't use blizzards own bars for more than a few minutes. I won't be able to do instances in the beta until they enable addons, for example. I can level a worgen though, the starting levels don't need a bar manager.

And when I am testing my own addon, I load ONLY that addon. Then I load my full set. If it works fine in both cases, I'm ready to upload.
