On classic, I’m experiencing the following bug with this, and all similar macros:
#showtooltip Charge
/cast Charge
/startattack
When logging in fresh, they will show the “?” icon on my bars until I do a /reload, this applies to all macros using #showtooltip, with and without addons enabled.
I’ve had the same problem with all my startattack macros, like you say when logging in sometimes they’ll show the ? icon and will take me messing around redragging them around to fix
was this an issue specific to vanilla – one of those bugs they’re keeping in on purpose? Or is this a classic issue? I’m still experiencing it, it’s very annoying on my Warrior as a lot of abilities are macroed for stance dancing.
Yes, macroses bugs. I have other macroses without /startattack which bugs as well. Not a big deal, they’ll work after you successfully used it first time, but a little bit annoying.
No need to be toxic about it. It’s a known bug, but it’s not really a big issue. They’ve got bigger issues, like important abilities not working properly. They’ll fix it at some time, don’t worry. Release was obviously rushed, just like any other WoW release.
I don’t think the release was that rushed. A bigger issue is that a lot of the beta test seems to be just abused by streamers who’d rather boost their viewer count rather than do any actual testing, hence why I so often saw them close the bug report box even when a bug was clearly present. Some did their job, though.
I don’t think I was being toxic either – a term which I believe is being tossed around far too casually these days. I simply made an innocuous observation that they’d gone quiet on a lot of issues. Stating a fact isn’t toxic.
There were thousands of testers and only few of them were streamers. Those streams were big, so you couldn’t see all those little people sending bug reports, but they were there. And streamers, well, they are here to entertain people, not to test, obviously. They got their free ticket not because they are good testers after all.
But yeah, it’s a shame that ground breaking bugs were released, like bugged demo shout or instance reset via layer switch. I don’t know who to blame.
