![]() They are free to accept my advice or not. Even though there have been recent problems with WoWMatrix, it still beats the crappy Curse client. WowMatrix is a FREE World of Warcraft AddOn Installer and Updater that is completely safe to use and contains no keyloggers or spyware. ![]() I try to never steer a person in one direction when I try to help them. I am not steering anyone else to use the program, only offering options they may consider. You are welcome to your opinions, but I will have to disagree with your statements regarding wowmatrix. In TukUI and ElvUI's cases, the authors decided to stop uploading to Curse, and wanted the direct ad revenue of their own site instead. Since you asked, the reason why ElvUI (or any AddOn) is or is not on Curse or Wowinterface is 100% up to the author. You can download the zip file from the site manually if you wish. They have a good client as well, but you have to sign up for free in order to download the client. ElvUI can only be downloaded from TukUI's site, linked above. If you want clean updating programs, you need either the Curse Client or Wowinterface's Minion. While it may have been true that WowMatrix was a better addon installer/updater than the Curse Client 5 years ago, I just dont think thats true anymore - the Curse Client is certainly not a thing of beauty, but it does what it says on the tin, and is so simple to install and use a toddler could do it - and WM/SI users are certainly at a. We authors almost universally despise Wowmatix, and at one point were forced to take legal action. On top of that, I don't know any AddOn authors that will provide support to AddOns installed by Wowmatrix. ![]() Any AddOns that are All Rights Reserved or other copyright they don't have. Also, their database of AddOns is limited by legally-defined AddOns as being part of the public realm, ie: open source, public domain, etc. Is there a client like wowmatrix or curse for 3.3.5a I play on Dalaran, which is 3.3. I don't know if the author of WoWMatrix found away around that but I still recommend the Curse Client if you want to download from Curse. Thanks 2 8 8 comments Best Add a Comment Exystredofar 8 yr. Because not only does it take time, it acts as if it never was installed so all settings are reset to defaults. It also notes the addons that it doesn't support.Wowmatrix is a great way to get hacked, install viruses, and other things you probably don't want on your computer. I should also mention that WowMatrix is a tool similar to Curse Client (for WoW only) and it works on Linux, but it uses its own database, which lacks many addons (in my test, only one of the 5 addons I use was available via WowMatrix), thats why I searched for Curse-compatible alternatives. Curse blocked WoWMatrix a while ago as it was stealing bandwidth from Curse for downloads while not giving anything back to them (they even made money off of ads in the program). But having to reinstall it every day just to use it takes away all of the convenience. Once I started using it I checked on the "supporting" site for the addons I run and found that in all cases for supported addons that I use WowMatrix always correctly identified and grabbed the latest version. I was leery of running an executable but when I checked up on it I found that its recommended by Apple as an add on for gaming on Macs. Having to manually update the few non-WowAce addons I run from various sites isn't a big hassle anyway. It may only cover addons hosted at WowAce, but that guarantees that I've got the latest, safest, official version of every addon it updates, given how regulated WowAce is. I use the WowAceUpdater and it works well for me. And you certainly can't guarantee that it's a safe version, because in reality anyone has access to upload at sites like WoWi and Curse. If youre downloading an addon thats hosted on WoWInterface, through WoWMatrix, the file is sent to your computer from WoWInterfaces servers. WoWMatrix doesnt pay the storage bills or the bandwidth bills for the addons you download through its program. You can't guarantee that the version WowMatrix is grabbing from Curse of WoWi is actually the most up-to-date and not just a random fan upload. WoWMatrix makes money off of providing access to addons it doesnt host. We and our partners store and/or access information on a device. I can't vouch that it's otherwise safe, but I dislike that part alone. Granted I also use wowmatrix to dl/update my addons. curse client vs wowmatrix 1 ForgeUser272466 ForgeUser272466. ![]() I haven't used WowMatrix, but from what I gather it tries to update from all the available addon sites at once. ![]()
