Forever beta notes: interface changes
KaivaxBlizzard adds an interface and accessibility section to the previous development notes. It changes nameplates, bags, the swing timer, the spellbook and the PvP scoreboard.
Highlights
- The swing timer bar stays visible at range until the swing finishes
- Nameplates show Elite status again, and debuff icons on them can be clicked through
- With combined bags on, each slot’s art shows which bag it comes from
- Killing a player at the Honor cap no longer shows honor gained
- The PvP scoreboard display is updated
What this means for players
Nothing here changes a class, race or tier score. The changes are all interface work, from nameplates and bags to the swing timer, the spellbook and talents frames and the PvP scoreboard.
The build
A new section added to the previous development-notes post, with no build named. All of it is interface and accessibility work.
