Author's NOT in Beta yet!

ricks322 · 09-02-10, 01:55 AM

Now that addons have been enabled maybe those of us in the Beta could test some of the addons of authors that aren't in yet? Maybe just try and run them, see it they work, and maybe report back what if any errors we get.

It would help any authors who aren't in yet get a heads up at least. I know there is a list of working / not working addon's building on the Cata forums and a wiki page, but those are from users not authors.

So maybe if an author wants someone to test their addon they can post here.

p.s. on a side note take a look at the thread on Add-ons you hope never come back.

Interesting that the thread you linked comes down to a handful of addons.

Gearscore, PallyPower, RankWatch being the main ones, with occasional dislike tossed at other addons, and several comments saying "Blizzard should roll a version of this into the default UI" (mostly bartender/dominos, a better threat implementation, movable frames, it seems like).

Weird Hate list. Cant understand the hate against PP, but funny to read some of the comments nevertheless.

Good suggestion to test addons for authors not in beta, but I would guess most are getting in if they apply.

Just saw we are up to 727 keys now, so maybe this idea will not be needed. But I will leave this open just in case anyone needs the help.

Instant, being a paladin, my hate for PP is that it's plug-ugly and nearly unskinnable. There's a reason I use ZOMGBuffs instead.

(other than it works for all of my 80s and my alts, and communicates with PP users in the raid for proper buff setup).

Never understood the need for pally power in todays raiding world. This isn't nilla, this isn't BC.

Cata, has two pally buffs, Kings, or Might. They go out on everyone when you buff once. Might takes care of 10% AP and Wisdom/Mana Spring, Kings is shared with Mark.

That was pretty much why people were saying they hope PallyPower stays away - because in Cata, it won't be a big deal anymore. Paladin Buffs are actually going to be SANE.
