[REQUEST] Arena frames

[geekyadam]

I've already mentioned this before, and Gethe has answered, I just wanted to create a new thread in the new forums as a placeholder/reminder/project page for it.

Ideally have whatever options the boss frames have and in arenas they turn into arena frames. That could work out fine. Also don't forget to hide the Blizz arena frames. Thanks.

Keep up the great work guys!

arena frames would be awesome.

Arena Frames with a skinned DR counter would make Gladius etc redundant.
Moving and skinning the group frames the same (as an option) would be the next big step imo.

I agree, but Gethe might not complete the DR stuff [yet]. For now, I'd be super greatful for just arena frames to replace the built-in Blizzard ones. Once those are working well, maybe we could request added features such as tracking DR and the big class CDs like Gladius does.

To be honest, I'm not a die-hard arena player, so I don't use Gladius anymore. I just need to be able to see their healthbars at a quick glance, and when they pop trinks. *shrug*

I second this, make it happen please

Arena is pretty much all I do currently, but Gladius Bloat is killing me. :P

I somehow wish I had my WolTK Tukui Backed up and updated for MoP. But this UI is just soo much smoother.. :O

Yeah I was using ElvUI/TukUI for awhile, but I prefer RealUI for how minimal it is and now I can't play without the RealUI player/target health frames. I just do Arenas when my PvP friends are on. Still missing like 4 Prideful pieces and don't care.
I'm excited to see RealUI-matched Arena frames, but also more excited to not see the Blizz Arena frames and their ugly text/portraits. I just want a health bar, mana bar, and trink indicator. I'd also love to see big racial/class CDs like Every Man, pally bubble, Mass Dispel, etc. as well as DR for CCs, but I can live without those for now.

Keep at it Gethe!

Well, then try and do it. Code's all open etc. You'll probably have to ask before you openly release it, but if you need bugtesters, come to me.

(We could even test in wargames, i'm EU and can test shit out in A/H)

I'm actually doing a complete rewrite of the unit frames, so unless you have beta there wouldn't be much point. If you do have beta you can fork RealUI on GitHub and submit a pull request with your changes

I do have beta, but i'd probably have a ton of questions to get started. need some time to dig into the new frames.

[Gethe]

Just want to update here that the current Beta 8 for 6.0 has arena frames. If anyone is able to test these out on beta/PTR it would be very helpful. Please post feedback in the beta thread.

[geekyadam]

Nice work! I don't have beta or I'd help test. Guess I'll see how it looks once WoD is released. :/

[Gethe]

PTR is up, it should work there too.

[geekyadam]

OK I might give it a try here in the next couple days.
