Please make the raid visuals patch work on the minimum "Spell Detail Level" setting.

Crazy how twow devs always said they had no way of reproducing / fixing this and just blamed it on players mods / addons

Arena is in the next few weeks along with thorn gorge.
Guild banks are in.
Guild houses/tabard teleport will be added with a custom feature in the next month or two

Thank you so much for this!

Would it be possible to have a look at this issue with pet scaling https://octowow.st/bug-report?id=320 ?

I'd also like to suggest letting ammo stack to 400. We consume it at much faster speeds compared to normal Vanilla and our biggest quiver/ammo pouch has 18/16 slots.

I think it's great that you guys are adding support for Patch-O and going so far as to maintain it.

Watch that be the spark that makes all of the spaghetti code burst into flame and implode.
