  • Your timing still sucked, but...

    Curse, when you chose a Monday to post your comments in the WoW forums, giving notice that you were cutting off WoWMatrix from accessing your site, you were using poor judgement. Your post hit the wire just 15 hours before the scheduled maintenance (nightmare) that was Patch 3.1. You've said you didn't know it was going to be patch day, and

  • A Request for Simplicity

    Dear Curse: One of the features that I really, really liked about WoWMatrix was its simplicity. The application, while not the prettiest in the world, executed easily, required no installation at all, found the addons easily and updated all of them with a single click. It did not support any other game, did not stay resident in the process table, did

  • Full UI downloads

    Is there a place here at Curse that houses full UI's available for download? If not, does anyone know a site that does?

  • Knowing When to Quit

    So on Patch Day, we who were using WoWMatrix for updates got nailed by a collective action undertaken by Curse and WoWInterface. It's already been explained to death, argued to death, protested to death. Why it was done has been offered as a defense of how it was done, and that logic has been challenged, and it too was argued to death. There does

  • Curiouser and curiouser...

    I have to say, it is puzzling in the extreme to me that, for a few days now, Curse and WoWI have been blocking access to addon updates by WowMatrix, and WM has not so much as posted a comment on their website acknowledging it. Odd.

  • Sometimes, a direct approach works best

    Since I'm now a regular at Curse's Mac Support forum, I noticed that the posts were conspicuously devoid of any Curse employees' responses to the recent influx of user posts. Since pulling the plug on WoWMatrix just before patch 3.1 hit, a lot of us former WM users were... well, corraled into the Curse Client. That's not an unfair representation

  • A Rush Test: Curse Client for Mac

    As I said I would yesterday in comments made on Curse's site, I did a bit of "emergency maintenance" of my own by giving the Curse Client for Mac beta a trial-by-fire after Curse and WoWI abruptly killed WoWMatrix. For the record, I am still angry with Curse over the fact that they did not have the common courtesy to issue an advance warning

  • Insufficient support links

    When on curse.com at my Curse, there is no link to Support. It requires that the user move to the home page and click Support from there. You should add a link that would permit direct movement. From the support page, clicking the Client support link takes the user directly to the Windows version. It is not obvious how to get to the Mac client support

  • Forum timestamps not in my timezone

    Support forum timestamps appear to be in GMT, where as I am in GMT-6. There is no intuitively obvious place where I can cause the display to match my timezone. If there is one, where is it? If there isn't, please implement one.

  • Patch 3.1, Macs, Curse Client: Round 2

    It's done shaking out: a total of 8 addons simply won't be handled by the Curse client, due to the fact that the addons aren't hosted on Curse, and likely won't be. They are over at WoWI, which means I'll be updating some of my addons by hand, an inconvenience considering I have to update multiple machines. But since the Curse client
