February 27, 2024 at 4:00 p.m. – In WoW: Dragonflight, Druid tanks are falling over like flies, macros and interface are suddenly out of date. We show what this strange error is all about.
There is currently a very strange phenomenon in WoW: Dragonflight in which parts of the interface are reset to the status of eight years ago (WoD). Players are reporting that macros that they last used several years ago are suddenly appearing in the action bar. Apparently the CVar settings (Console Variables) is no longer synchronized.
The first to notice this were druid tanks, who used a very specific macro for self-healing. Resetting the macro settings resulted in many bear deaths because without the macro they no longer automatically switched from humanoid form to bear form and therefore received harder hits.
Interface settings like in WoD times

If you don't use macros for skills or other interface settings, you probably won't notice this. Busy macro users like the Redditor in the post above noticed macros with old trinkets suddenly appearing in their action bar.
For some players, not only macro settings, but also chat settings and action bars have been reset. As mentioned, this is apparently due to the console settings of the WoW servers, which have been reset for some reason and are no longer synchronized with the current data. However, thanks to WoW: Dragonflight's new editing mode, you can easily reload your interface settings – if you have saved profiles.
If your edit mode profile has disappeared, there are also solutions to restore it.
By the way, the druid macro for guardians in question looks like this:
#showtooltip Regrowth
/run SetCVar(“autoUnshift”,0)
/cast [@mouseover,nodead,help][@player] Regrowth
/run SetCVar(“autoUnshift”,1)
According to players, their interface has been partially reset to Shadowlands levels. For some, this is said to have even happened IN FIGHT, which is of course particularly sensitive. Have you already had experience with this and is your interface and macros up to date or still out of date? Feel free to write to us in the comments.
