Weak default UI is Mythic's oversight (+it is an ancient game). Tracking necessary information in combat and reacting adequately by deciding on the fly using your own brain what ability you should be using in that moment and manually pressing the button in your hotbar at your own reflex speed is not quite the same as machine gunning button X and having software rotate 15 or something abilities for you (even if there are no complicated checks involved).
Things like choppa/slayer backstab should be addressed in future, in my opinion, since on a global server where people casually parry with their backs to you NB removal becomes an obvious problem to manually land those backstab attacks in a tiny window of opportunity (if target is freely moving and not KD'd or ChCH'd).
IB/BG toolkit could also be condensed into something more meaningful (although you clearly do not need to press everything you have there; there are crucial things that aid the pursued goal and things that will just waste your GCDs without bringing any real impact).
I understand that many players have had false idea of their actual skill level in this game and now are feeling a little unhinged. I would suggest those who like to threaten devs and players by leaving RoR due to NB removal to go and play shooter games on console platforms. I have heard you get a legal aim helping technology built in there (basiacally, an aimbot).
actually whats the wrong with just using cast squencer? 4.times i write; im not talking about simple algorthms by nb conditios/effects... blocking nb but not blocking PlanB, Isn't it suspicious?

Re: Patch Notes 28/05/2021
Another route for addon developers to go down is to use the conditional checks (which can't be removed) in conjunction with hooking into the hotbar button UI code to make the button glow/be on fire/etc if the conditional checks indicate the ability should now be used. For examples of these effects see the glow around the ability buttons for a Shaman depending on Waaagh levels.
It won't automate which order to press them in but it would give you much clearer feedback on what might be a good button to press next. You would still then have to actually press the right button / shortcut rather than just mash 1.

It’s not hard to sequence abilities. Keyboard software able to set it up within minutes (i.e. iCue for Corsair keyboards). It’s impossible to stop sequence. Issue was doing both sequence and conditionals.Everdin wrote: ↑Sat May 29, 2021 6:49 pmso atleast the only punishment is for people using it to sequence the abilitys, people who want conditional checks it will work again without problems, because you do not need so much backups if the conditional not work?wargrimnir wrote: ↑Sat May 29, 2021 6:42 pmIf an enterprising addon developer wanted to re-write Nerfed Buttons to use hotbar switching instead of actively switching abilities on the fly, it could potentially still work.

This isn't about the good players. It's about the bad players being salty about the mediocre players.

I wonder if it could switch hotbars like plan B? e.g. slot 1 of bars 1, 2 and 3 contain different abilities, NB switches between bars 1, 2, 3 instead of changing the ability within slot 1 of bar 1.
Probably best to disable Plan B just in case?

This already exists, it's called Actionbarcolor.

The Plan B addon for Sword Masters & Black Orcs will still function.
We have never really liked the idea of an addon automating conditional checks for players. Now it is blocked.
