Note: I use alot of mods.QuestHelper is a WoW AddOn that integrates a list of waypoints for quests listed in the quest log into the world map. For a start, it means I get to see info about new features and optional plugins that I might otherwise miss. It's a bit like trusting a piece of 3rd party software from someone you don't know (possibly called Nigel) to manage your bank account (ok, perhaps an extreme example). If I can't see the source code and compile it myself then (as far as MMO utils go) I don't trust them. I also agree that security implications of 3rd party updaters is reason enough to not use them. But even then, using the favourites options of WowInterface, WowUI and Curse make the job relatively straight forward. ![]() The exception is probably for a week or so after a major WoW patch. IMO There's no need to update more than once a week (or even monthly), unless theres a specific reason (e.g. Updater users probably get used to updating more regularly than those who manually update (because its convenient, fast and easy): It probably wasn't the manual updating folk that killed the original wowace. I'm not going to run a strange program on the machine when it might steal the password or something. Just check "yes" and any time any AddOn on your favourites list is updated, it will send out an email notification that it has been updated and give you a direct link to the download page for that AddOn.ĭon't speak for me. You will then see this:Įnable this feature to recive email notification when one of your favorites has been updated. Either one of those places you will see:Ĭlick on " Preferences". If you are on your Favourites list page you will see a little menu on the left, or if you are on any other page on the site (except the forums tab) you can click on "Options" on the top bar. To get email notifications of updates of your favourites, do this: As well, there is a link on the top bar of the site that says " favourites", that you can click at any time to go look at your list. Now every time you visit the site, you will see a notice on the front page (Community tab) saying whether any of your favourites have been updated. I've posted this elsewhere, but I'll copy it here too: On WoWInterface (I don't know about Curse, but I'm sure it's something similar, same with wowui.incgamers), when you go to the download page of an AddOn you use and like, you can click on the little heart underneath the big download button. It just isn't as nice as we want, so we're making a new one.Īlso, manually updating your addons doesn't have to be time consuming or difficult at all. ![]() I don't have a solution to this, doubt anyone does. I just saying that all the bickering between websites, add-on developers and client-side gatherers of addons is mainly hurting only one person: the player. Oh, and if you're on a Mac, forget about it.īut I guess no one really cares about all of that.and please understand I'm not saying that you should just bite the bullet and allow WoWMatrix access to your add-on again. I mean, it's going to be a pain to just even FIND them now, much less keep them updated. It's just now a pain in the ass for us, the end-users, to get to all your add-ons. So now since everyone is getting in a tizzy, we have to go back to the dark ages and go to each individual website for each add-on to check on the off-chance that maybe they updated something.įine, everyone hates WowMatrix, and people have posted good reasons as for the indignation, but that doesn't alleviate the problem for a lot of people. Using Curse's application doesn't download us it's buggy. You know what, us users just want a nice application to download our addons without any hassle.
