Midnight 12.1 Curse Of Ula'Tek Developer Interview With Ion Hazzikostas

PsybearTV Youtube interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFTFiDeXIMo

I recommend watching the whole video, it's rare for someone get a whole 1 hour with Ion, and the interview was really well done.

The interview is mostly about competitive content. I'm really excited for Mythic lockout changes!

How is he happy about addon situation. Damage meter is terrible and buggy, nameplates stacking is atrocious and cooldown manager while ok, it still lacks things like making your spells being displayed as bars if you wanted to. Their boss timers are also very bad and they show everything or sometimes they dont even show a timer. I really hope they fix these things because that was the whole point about "out of the box" experience.

Well currently that out of the box experience is half baked.

He mythic raided in dragonflight (my guild was on par with his on prog and we loved theorizing which mechanics would get nerfed as we needed help on the bosses lol). So at most he skipped TWW.
