Legion's Nameplate addons

[Layback_]

Hi all,

newbie learner is back here.

For about few months ago, I have been told that using nameplate type of addon won't be able to disable Blizzard's default nameplate, but runs on background at the same time so that it uses twice memory and cpu than usual.

Since Blizzard introduced a new nameplate from Legion, would it be hopeful to believe that such issue has been fixed(?)?

Thank you.

You can disable the blizzard nameplates completely by simply using DisableAddOn('Blizzard_NamePlates') and reloading your interface.

They can be re-enabled with EnableAddOn('Blizzard_NamePlates').

In 7.0 (Legion and pre-patch) it's true, but prior to that all that addons can do is skin the existing nameplates.

What semlar suggested won't work until then, but to be fair, let nameplate addons handle this themselves, and you should try out the new default nameplates before you opt for an addon to replace them, they are actually really good.

If an addon does disable the blizzard nameplates, and you disable that addon, it has no way of turning them back on, so you will need to do it manually if you want to get them back.

Which should be the addon's responsibility to inform their users on how to do so.
