Built-in Edit Mode

The built-in Edit Mode in BCC Anniversary realms is sadly dissapointing.

Existing AddOns (e.g. Dragonflight UI) have done a much much better job, and now the Built-in is messing that up.

The new Built-in Edit Mode doesnt allow to move your primary action bar, micro menu and bags or remove the artwork/gryphons.

Why do BCC Anniversary servers get a radically shortened Edit Mode compared to the Retail one?

And why isn’t there an option to just turn off Edit Mode?

I’m sure addons will be updated soon to counteract it.

So basically there is no point of having it at first place. When they said will enable edit mode into game was expecting retail version of it. Now im back again Elvui even if did not wanted to use it again .

U dont need to use it , dont affect u at all is there option its pretty much useless tho

It is crap like this why we had 27h maintenance in the 1st place. New crap no one asked for in a 20 years old game.
I might be blinded by rage so I ask, how do you even make XP bar smaller or remove it altogether? It’s bothering me wherever I put it at this size once I set my bars in desirable position.

Yay, we get the extra-inconsistent chat/combat log windows from retail with their infuriating restrictions on positioning/scaling, where the main chat window is only movable in edit mode and can’t be put at the edge of the screen, but secondary chat/combat log windows are still moved the old way…

Yeah, there’s addons to solve it, but without it’s just bad.

… and we STILL cannot remove those stupid carets from the mini-map! It’s not an option. If Blizz put things from later xpacs in, an option to remove those things should automatically follow!

Hahaha u cant I have looked into it aswell all what u can do is put it above or move xD Thats why I said edit mode is useless if we will not get same ui as on retail, was no point to making it.

But even if u move that exp bar still leaves u huge empty space in main bar thats just sits there basically for nothing but u can remove micro and bag bar but without any common sense why u doing it xD

Imagine working at Blizzard and looking at the peak product ever released, the wow triology, and thinking hey, lets try and “fix” that! Nothing we have done since wotlk have been better but this time surely we can improve it. The hubris… Or they just want to destroy vanilla, tbc and wotlk so people have no option left but to turn to the retail one-button no soul game.

One button is classic mode isnt? U do have one button on retail but will do -30% less dps and less heal, tanking dont want to even think about it is not very good for progressing serious gameplay. U can quest as 1button option while classic it has for every content situation and while u doing it dont feel actually that much good about it.

Nothing were balanced in classic or even tbc until kinda lets say wotlk but even there u would not choose frost mage into your raid right?

I agree, there was absolutely no point adding this very restrictive “edit” mode .

The original UI was absolutely fine and you could just get a much better add-on to change it if you so desired.

Now I’m stuck with raid frames that don’t stack (groups 1-8 in AV just take up half the screen unless you go horizontal), and are bugged in highlighting who is in range and who isn’t.

As a healer this is just needless crap.

Yupp, as a healer the way the raid frames look now is abysmal.

Now I have to get addons to work around it.

WHY ARE YOU ADDING THINGS NOBODY WANT BLIZZARD?!??!?!?

Atleast let us toggle edit mode thingy on or off, because as it is now, it’s pretty bad.

Moveanything has done whatever you were trying to do better, for almost 20 years. How is it even possible?

That’s not correct.

Even if I choose Classic mode I have 3 extra Action bars in the middle of my screen and the bags cover the lower half of Action bars 4 and 5 (those to the right along the edge of the screen).
This is stupid.

As a #NoChanges Andy I’d like the old standard UI back.

The default UI is so bugged. Even with addons shut off the party frames show people out of range even though they are in range. Chatwindow is f-ed up as well, the tabs and write-window overlap in the text-frame and we arent allowed to move it to the edge with MoveAny. Looks like garbage.

Typical Blizzard to poke at things they didnt need to and f everything up… There is a reason the triology was the most popular and retail isnt.

you can remove the blizzard artwork with edit mode.
