Too many Lua errors will slow down your game. However, once you've done that, having repeated Lua error windows popping up can be very annoying. Please copy any errors you are having with a mod and post them to a place where the addon author can see and act on them. Lua error messages give important feedback to what's going wrong with an addon. Where possible, I will try to link to the source of the latest information for that addon. It may be the addon's website or Discord, or on Github. This isn't always going to be Curseforge or one of the other repositories. Part of managing this is knowing where to get the latest release of the addon. Give addon authors a little time to adjust, as they will need to be implementing big changes to many mods shortly after release. A mod that handles mail won't be much affected by the transition, but one that needs to show you the locations of mining node will be. This is particularly true of any addons that will pull specific data from Outlands, including information about quests, mob or item locations, or gear. Mods that are working fine in Burning Crusade Pre-Patch (and even in BCC Beta) may not end up working in Burning Crusade Classic right away. Managing Addon Transition to Burning Crusade Classic They put in very long hours and a lot of work to make your experience more enjoyable. There are some notable players missing in action at this point, but for the most part, Burning Crusade Classic will not mean losing too many of your favorite addons.ĭon't forget to donate to addon authors whose products you use regularly. Overall, the addon scene is in much, much better shape going into Burning Crusade than it was going into Classic for the first time - likely because it's less of a stretch just going from Classic to Burning Crusade Classic. Thankfully, the dedicated addon writers of WoW have been hard at work, modifying and updating and changing their code to make many of your favorite addons usable in Burning Crusade Classic. So whenever I have to go through betas or other periods when addons aren't working, I feel adrift without my constant stream of addons feeding me all kinds of data from a variety of sources. And then there are others (like me) who love experimenting with all kinds of addons and gizmos to make their lives easier in WoW. Some people just load a few they consider essential, or only those addons their raid team is using. Some people don't use them at all, which certainly makes life easier after new content patches. We've compiled an initial list of the best and essential addons for TBC Classic, including UI, Questing, Auction House, Raids, and Bags.Īddons can be a very personal thing.
