@potent fog Talking about mobile and on def screen bright settings it can be hard to read text with a dark background π
@tawny blade went to the link, wondered what happened to the daily stuff xD you linked the article lol. Looks good!
cool
I added in hotfixes to the current content section in today in broken isles for you π
Looks fine to me.
I can see it but I expect that to be hard to see for some users
Fair enough.
Yep white and dark always work on all settings
Honestly Mobile is a huge pain in the butt for most developers like there are so many def. phones out there and lots of outdated as well π¦
Wowhead runs amazing in mobile tho. You can even hover database items!
and yeah it has been a pain to convert over to mobile - we chipped away at making all tools functional over several years
But everything looks good on my crapy LG g4 (not got money for a iPhone lol)
You're better off without it. π <-- clearly biased android user.
π
lol
I don't like the look on desktop or mobile π
What is it you don't like?
i still wish those golden rings around the class icons could be made into the class colors
but otherwise it looks great
We did gold rings to make it more obvious that the icons themselves are links, the color matches the color of links around the site. Previously this wasn't apparent to some.
It looks like it's parroting the icy-veins site design tbh
It looks very "app"-like
Yar, I understand the reasoning! I just still get confused by icons and the colors would remind me which one is which XD
And there's so much empty space at 1440p
But definitely making sure people know they're links, that's more important
We based it off of http://www.lolking.net/ (a ZAM site redesigned last year) - I don't believe any other wow sites have a 'fixed sidebar' that's just an ad, and when we added that in, it started to make the layout look funny
It's still functional, no complaints on that end, but there's a lot of empty black space on the margins
At 1440p I can't say that's unexpected.
If I crank it up to 130% zoom it's actually a lot better
yeah personally for me, logged in as premium under the old layout, I had so much wasted space it was irritating
On the 4k screen I have to crank it up to over 200%
Well they can't design for a 4k screen though
They have to design for normal screens XD
Actually yeah, the 130% zoomed version looks fine at 1440, I can live with that
Honestly it may sound like butt kissing, maybe (sorry no interest in that) but Wowhead is the best WoW site even better than the WoW site it self and you can see Perculia's passion for the game still after working so hard for years to keep the site running!
aw thanks π the whole wowhead team worked really hard on it, especially @river hound doing the redesign
Yeah you are all great!
Maybe I'm mistaken, I thought previously there was a place where it showed the current week's M+ affixes? not seeing it now
((Also, I like the gold around the class icons? I think it does exactly what you want it to- it makes it clear they're links))
(( I never said it wasn't functioning properly or that it didn't serve the exact purpose they made it do, just for ME I have mentioned before that I mistake the clas sicons frequently and that names in class colors or circles in class colors would better allow my autistic brain to find the thing I need clearly and quickly)
(TL;DR she prefers the border class colored)
For reasons that have to do with my brain wiring. Yes. Not just because I'm that picky. XD
And I also recognize that this change won't happen just because I want it, but I have to keep asking when the opinion is requested.
Mythic+ affixes aren't updating yet because people are scared and not running Mythic+ and submitting data via the client
If we still don't have data when EU has their weekly reset, I can now add the info manually to today in broken isles though
Mythic+ info is included in the 'weekly events' post now though
How many reports do you need from M+'s?
Oh, so it's just waiting on data, cool, didn't know it was dependant on that!
So it's only in the weekly events post, or in both the events post and the today in broken isles section?
it will end up in both places. right now it's in the weekly events post
that usually goes up within 10 min of the reset so it's the fastest way to find it
Thanks for the info. Usually the first thing I look for before I get home on Tuesday :)
just for my feedback, i kind of like the new frontpage, but im definitley not used to it. if i have any further feedback, ill be sure to let you know π
it changes every day, all of today in broken isles is powered by wowhead client data
ooh random?
@plucky fractal its the same for everyone per day
i know but i mean like isnt it random 1 item on the vendor
or are the items in rotation.
I'm not sure honestly
Everyone asking about affixes - some brave souls have finally completed a mythic+ and uploaded some data to wowhead, so they're starting to show up on the front page
Wowhead homepage. I still miss the classic Google homepage look!
but I do love how powerful the client has become
If I'm not mistaken, that page still technically exists, doesn't it?
https://www.wowhead.com/database if you want more classic style
Speak of Sargeras
new front page looks great
One message removed from a suspended account.
You have it just 3 message above.
hey
Hey. Can we help you with anything? @cyan vortex
No thanks.
And please don't use this channel for offtopic.
ok
Where is the best place to offer feedback on a Wowhead Client problem?
This channel or the Wowhead Feedback forums would be best @clever sedge
anyone know why I get [{"email":"No email provided"}] when I click to buy premium?
are you logged in?
on wowhead yes
yeah tried logging in to zam as well, changed password, logged into both again, still doesn't work, opened a support ticket
rhypo
May you try again ?
Am I wrong or did the Violet Hold bosses used to be listed on homepage? Has that gone away?
@woeful bobcat in a raid atm, will try as soon as we are done
No rush, raid well
@covert bough After reset each week it takes a bit for those to get readded because people using our Wowhead Client aren't very frequently running Violet Hold. It, usually, takes a day or two for Violet Hold to get added.
Ah great thank you
you can help by running it yourself and telling us!
So I went to download the wowhead client as I didn't have it on this machine, and the google hit and link from the menu to www.wowhead.com/client just gives a directory listing
Hi @covert bough that's weird, thank you. looking into it.
π
@covert bough You'll need to clear cache but the /client page should be functioning properly again. Thank you for letting us know!
@teal dragon Yep all good and downloaded, thanks
not just you, I am too
Ok thanks.
The front page is really, really better.
Yep, good for me. Thanks!
Thanks much π
We updated a bunch of urls to list the class instead of spec name, but some artifact pages broke for an obscure reason. working on getting that back up
Artifacts are now fixed, now with classes mentioned in the url to be clearer at a glance https://www.wowhead.com/havoc-demon-hunter-artifact-guide
fixed
Thanks for the feature, @tawny blade ! We've been followers of Wowhead since people were still using Thottbot, so we are pretty excited to get a mention by you π
We thank you for being so loyal π
glad we could highlight it!

Are client uploads working for anyone? I've tried a few times throughout the day with Upload failed: Server timeout. being the only result.
@stoic acorn Can you try again?
@teal dragon No change, any debugging information I can provide?
First attempt was around 10:20 PST, will try restarting the computer in a bit.
Yea I think you need to restart. I just downloaded the client on my laptop (since I'm not at home) and verified it's working properly. I also had some other staff in differnet locations check. No problems. Can you try restarting when you can and let me know? I'll be in a long commute soon but you can continue to PM me like you did. Thanks!
@stoic acorn My uploads have been broken for a couple weeks now I think, haven't bothered looking into it.
Just checked the site, say my last data upload was 11 days ago
Sas told me to do this and mine started working again
Delete the +Wowhead_Looter.lua (and +Wowhead_Looter.lua.bak) file in your World of Warcraft/WTF/Account/<Account Name>/SavedVariables folder. Then, go relaunch World of Warcraft. Give it a minute, close it and try the upload again.
β€ the new home page layout
@floral dust exactly what @Alfa said: my issue turned out to be a corrupted +Wowhead_Looter.lua file, deleting it cleared up uploads. I sent it over to @teal dragon so maybe a future update can handle ones broken in the same manner.
It's in the official patch notes as well, but down in the Monk section of the 7.2.5 patch notes we suddenly get two new classes of Mistweaver and Windwalker π
XD
Some updates that were fixed today:
-Mobile front page now has quick links at the top to skip to the section you like, instead of scrolling through blue trackers/today in wow
-Mobile news pages display less blue tracker posts at the top
-Most, but not all, of the artifact guide links are fixed when you click on them via the center βbarβ on guide pages. 12 should be fully fixed tomorrow. The other 3 ways of accessing the pages on wowhead (navigation menu, sidebars on guides, artifact calc) all work for all specs.
-Toys, heirlooms, followers should be loading in tabs for everyone
-EU Today in Broken Isles shows assault timers in 24 hour time, not AM/PM
I was going to mention, the mobile front page was a little.. uh... yeah lol
It was hard to reduce it too much so we figured a compromise would be to offer a quick jump option at the top. π
@shut bridge @cobalt pond 24-hour format will now be used on the EU version of the Today In Broken Isles section. Enjoy!
is there a shortcut to the newest news story?
^_^
i would love a button that literally just goes to the newest news
Yep, on mobile you can just click 'News' at the top.
Ah, yea you'd just need to click the top one.
should be first thing under latest news section
So 'News' then 'Click' the one that's shown
i guess im suggesting another shortcut
to remove that one tap
may seem dumb
but i would love it β€
Not dumb but we have to be careful how much we add there, things don't shrink well on all sizes and would likely require another line which we'd prefer to avoid.
I also got a message that our VH bosses were wrong, but couldn't confirm what region the user was from or what the correct bosses were. If anyone knows them, please let me know so we can determine if we have the wrong data, if the person looked at the wrong tab etc
We confirmed the information we had was correct so you can disregard the above. Thanks!
This is kinda offtopic but I am being blocked from posting in a couple of the channels (giveaway and welcome) I have never posted so it's unlikely it's on purpose. Any ideas?
there is no reason to post in those. nobody can post there
Spaten is correct, those channels are read-only for anyone but Staff as there's no reason for conversation in said channels @proper sparrow
If you wish to discuss any content found in those channels you're free to do so in #no-wow-discussion
anyone else having issues uploading with wowhead client? keep getting "unable to process your upload at this time" for the past 2 days

@keen sinew Try going into your <WoW Folder>/WTF/Account/<name>/SavedVariables/ folder and removing the +Wowhead_Looter.lua (and .bak) files. There seem to be several people recently with the same issue (myself included). I sent my corrupted file over to @teal dragon so maybe whatever was in it that was breaking things can be fixed.
π
you did wrong
is webscraping allowed? I'm trying to add a function to my discord bot which returns weekly affixes and their descriptions, but scraping http://www.wowhead.com/affixes with Jsoup keeps ignoring the table with all the info
Why does wowhead for me have a constant loading symbol? I mean the site loads and I can see everything fine but why does it constantly reload?
Your question may be answered in the Ad FAQ: https://www.wowhead.com/forums&topic=143&p=1319 This has been updated frequently in the last few months, if you'd like to access it in the future, you can find it stickied at the top of the Wowhead Feedback forums
Is there any way to make the AP-items scale with knowledge level?. I mean if you can write that in somewhere and then all will show as AP40?
Click on the knowledge area on the tooltip and enter in a value
It's like you never see what is obviously in front of you :p thanks!!
Fixed
Morning guys i need a litle help im so confused
I got a tribket with 920 ilvl dont have any idea if it have any good for DH havoc
So what do u think should i changed with the one from spellblade ? Bcz this and that trinkets are the only one beside the eye of command
I'm positive this doesn't below to this channel. You should post it in #retail-wow :)
This channel, #wowhead-feedback-support, is just for Site feedback and bug reports.
@real mantle
Ok sorry
@true sentinel You're correct, this behavior isn't intended. It's something we've been dealing with for awhile now. Unfortunately it's just an easy thing to fix... we're always battling bad ads (or rather disruptive ones) that lag the site down harming the user experience. We're conducting tests all the time, some aren't effective, some are.. even if it's a minor improvement we've implemented it: recently we removed a particular element that caused browser lag. It hasn't been enough though so we're going to continue testing (A/B) and work towards more substantial improvements. We even contracted an ad screening company to proactively monitor ads, since we don't have the capability to do so ourselves on a large scale. If you have a moment I'd encourage reading our Ad FAQ and Site Performance threads in our Feedback forum: http://www.wowhead.com/forums&topic=143&p=1319 and http://www.wowhead.com/forums&topic=260419&p=4055160. We appreciate your support and continued patience on this matter.
On the M+ page http://www.wowhead.com/mythic-keystones-and-dungeons-guide the link for Greater Master's Symbol in the last row/column of the Artifact Power breakdown table isn't set to use AK40 like all the other links in the table
thanks, updated
just a tiny question, can you mine the 7.2.5 live client to see how true the blizzard patchnotes are or what they changed from ptr to live? i have no idea how long that takes or if its a automated process
Is there a way to change a forum thread's title on the Wowhead forums?
@jagged wave There should be an edit button for that if you have the thread open.
Hi
https://www.wowhead.com/news=263129/all-the-class-and-artifact-trait-changes-in-patch-7-2-5#druid
Are the balance change correct? For Solar Wrath and Sunfire says "Generates 0 Astral Power" and for Starsurge it says "You can accumulate up to 1 of each Empowerment".
Is that correct?
@plucky fractal thanks - found it!
Wowhead now updated for 7.2.5 on live site
i dont think this has correct images xD
and video's
i think it took over the ID of the mage mount
Fixed.
According to BlizzardWatch
"In Blackwing Lair, Razorgore instantly destroys eggs instead of having a cast time, speeding up transmog runs."
Ooooo if that's true, that's awesome! I will have to check it out
Yeah saw it on Reddit. If you want me to include in roundup I can
@swift night If/when that happens again click 'Feedback' at the top and select 'Bad Advertisement' letting us know you're getting sound form an unseen ad. That mechanism provides us recently displayed ad data for you so we can try to track it down to have the ad networks remove/disable it. Sorry for the inconvenience. π¦
how do we report a video submission that is not related to the page/item ? some dude put a youtube video here that is not related
Fixed, thanks @tropic mountain
Looks like somebody went a bit overboard linking things in http://www.wowhead.com/news=265921/patch-7-2-5-hotfixes-for-june-14th?webhook/patch-7-2-5-hotfixes-for-june-14th as Patch at the end links to a spell of that name.
I'm guessing that's the reason it was done, but then that could be done any time Patch is used so...
it's our auto-linker. we try to clean it up afterwards
π’ You "fixed" it.
damn no ret buffs
Where should I send mail to when my bug catcher addon (swatter) reports errors with Wowhead_Looter?
@spare shuttle I can take it at feedback@wowhead.com or you can add it to the Wowhead Addons thread: http://www.wowhead.com/forums&topic=254531.11&p=4056382 - We're aware of some of them though so you may want to compare errors.
Thanks, @teal dragon Sent by email because I was including the swatter output.
Got it. TY!
is it ok to ask something about the wowhead client here??
@pale ruin go ahead, I did and got my problem with it fixed
well my problem is.. i just can't upload the data.. it packs it.. says its uploading and bam!, error can't be uploaded at this time
that has like two or three months going on.
@pale ruin same problem I had, here's the fix
Delete the +Wowhead_Looter.lua (and +Wowhead_Looter.lua.bak) file in your World of Warcraft/WTF/Account/<Account Name>/SavedVariables folder. Then, go relaunch World of Warcraft. Give it a minute, close it and try the upload again.
aight..
They could probably add an auto delete feature to client for easy fixes
@pale ruin problem solved?
yes it worked sorry for the delayed answer π
also deleted some other player ids i had in there xD
They'll return should you ever log back in with them. We have a fix for this but it may be another month or two before we can implement it.
oh the other accounts i wouldn't worry about they are there becouse someone shared his addons folder when i started to play wow.. lol people can't remember the clean interface anymore
i didn't get to know it to be honest. xD
my blizz launcher just crashed on me. fortunately, my game hasn't been interrupted.
if u add filtre TOS zone drop it founds 0 items
π€
also some bop are in list
How about this? https://www.wowhead.com/items?filter=16;8524;0
@tawny blade yes but i want only boe so if u add boe filtre it becomes http://www.wowhead.com/items?filter=16:3;8524:1;0:0
and show 0 items
Do you know of any BoEs? not sure I'm aware of any
nope but on 1st link some are flagged as boe like http://www.wowhead.com/item=146989/fel-flecked-grips&bonus=3563:1512
others are flagged as boe but on site shows like bop, idk
So since this is based on the dungeon journal data, that loot may not automatically show up as being from ToS if they're trash drops. Once people run the raid and upload client info and get npc locations that drop the item, the filters should update
I can add a note to my ToS loot guide in the meantime saying it seems there are BoEs
k ty for the info
apparently my toys are not synched somehow
says collected 4 while i already collected 208 i did update it but wouldnt work for me
@remote pecan When did you upload data last?
Just now refreshed it, the character was there for years.
the calendar at the bottom of each page was causing performance issues since that ad unit was managed by a different 3rd party and caused some conflicts. So we moved the calendar to a separate page
the Appearances tab of Collections has https://www.wowhead.com/item=147425/cord-of-pilfered-rosaries&bonus=3561:1482 and https://www.wowhead.com/item=147424/treads-of-violent-intrusion&bonus=3561:1482 labeled as Trash drops from Tomb for the Monk sets.
@teal dragon can you give my discord premium rank or like do i have to pm you instead :P?
Thanks, just messaged.

We're aware of some Looter errors since the patch, a ticket has been made and we'll get it fixed as soon as we can. Thank you! π
here was something new
I got the error today too, from a vendor also
https://hastebin.com/axisawekir.makefile
Yes Spaten but it was a wall of text so I made it smaller
they're all pretty much the same error so I've seen and gotten myself: 1x +Wowhead_Looter\Wowhead_Looter.lua:1170: attempt to index local 'texture' (a number value) +Wowhead_Looter\Wowhead_Looter.lua:1170: in function `?' +Wowhead_Looter\Wowhead_Looter.lua:4171: in function <+Wowhead_Looter\Wowhead_Looter.lua:4169>
tbh I don't think the rest of the information is really relevant
what item was it? the coin too?
that was copy/pasted from IntervenciΓ³n
meani
I've never looked in their code so idk how it works or what the cause is specifically. I got it from Order Resources (allegedly). I think it's about currencies in general though? If I were to take a guess off of two points.
I notice it happens at merchants if anything if that helps.
just a note, not sure where best to report bad ad activity...yesterday i went to Wowhead on mobile. Apparently wasn't logged in so I got ads, and one opened up one of those scammy "get a $100 amazon gift card for filling out your info!" things. I closed it and didn't think to screenshot until I went back, at which point the ad that did it had changed.
My husband visited just now on desktop and got one of those "you have a virus download this software to fix it!" popups...something about a Zeus Virus.
the one he got also apparently had sound so he closed it right away :p
I hate mobile... the ads are like 5x worse on mobile (and not just on Wowhead). I was just testing another site on mobile and got redirected to that Amazon thing you described. They're so irritating.
If you can try going to http://mb.zam.com/mb/History and coping the contents from there to me in an email feedback@wowhead.com I can forward it to our ad team. Visit the link from the same browser/device you experienced the redirect from.
That's exactly what I had to do myself. The redirects are the hardest ones to track. π Also, if anyone reading thinks we like these... we don't. Like, it's stupid for a site to actually want you to redirect away from their site to some other site.
Did you close out the browser I wonder?
or anything? the data may have been cleared.
possibly. it's my phone on chrome
Or if you were in incognito or something, maybe an adblocker...
but i'll keep that URL just in case i see it happen again
so i can grab it right away
The link is just looking at your cache I think
That'd be great, thanks @nimble basalt Though frankly I hope you never encounter it again.
haha right xD
no problem, i understand the ads have been hard on you guys...and the fact people act so vile toward you guys over it is just...good lord
Maybe I should film myself being frustrated with them as well so they know they're not alone? lol - Some imagine I (we) are rolling around in stacks of cash just laughing at everyone.
haha
i mean...at least then you'd be rich while you are being threatened by crazies
If I went and made my entire checking account $1 bills, I might be able to roll around a little in it on my bed.... well, until I pay the rent that is. π
hahaha
Anyhow, we've gone off-topic. My bad.
Sorry that you, and your husband, experienced irritating redirect ads on mobile. Hopefully you don't see them again but if you do, you know what to do to provide tangible info that may help us get rid of it. Thank you! β€
no problem! π
I may be missing the option, but is there a search filter for "has effect text" or "has a use" or even some kind of wildcard I can use for "effect text"?
A bit of context: I created and maintain the addon PortGear, which automatically removes equippable gear that can be used to teleport. I'm just looking for an easier way to search for these in the future.
Wasnt this implemented with pre legion event? on the website it says added 7.2.5
https://www.wowhead.com/item=140263/worn-pamphlet this was the pre legion ID
aaaah i see thanks
Also perculia,
The broken hook (Fishingpole skin) dissapeared from the website and turned into http://www.wowhead.com/item=147455/water-stone
did the ID's just change and they took out the broken hook? http://i.imgur.com/NMSOmOW.jpg
also this: http://i.imgur.com/BSsNHh3.jpg
Yes, they changed it in 7.2.5
it's now one of the item related to the sun darter hatchling
Wonder where the broken hook is tough? Like the fishingpole appearnec item just dissapeared?
yeah
I'm betting it's tied to those fishing vendor people who "came too soon"... Somebody said it was obtainable but idk
I was exalted (Best friend) with that vendor but no appearence there
Really hyped
I'm betting it'll require all zones
But that's off topic ^^
I know this channel pings the staff and such when we message here.
@tawny blade I appreciate your answer to my item search question yesterday, but that's one of the searches I used to make a full list. Unfortunately, that's the issue I have. "teleport" is just one of the words used in equippable items. Examples of other items with different wording are the ruby slippers from kara, booty bay fishing boots, and the old AV trinkets. What I was looking for is just a way to review all equippable items with a use effect, without worrying about any non-standard wording Blizzard uses, by using a wildcard in the current text search or something like "has a use effect", where "has a flavor text" already exists in the filter list.
You know what'd be nice? Having little flags next to the blueposts identifying if they're EU or US posts. :P </hint>
is that important?
I just don't like wasting time.
And clicking onto posts that have information pertaining to US rather than EU is a waste of time for me. >_<
all i see are at the moment for both
Tuning adjustments for June 20
US only info.
Because we don't get that until the day after.
It's also nice to know which threads I'd be able to respond to if I were to do so.
I'll pass that onto the devs, the bluetracker's new position has been received very well by players and we're open to making tweaks
There's a formatting error in Fallen Avatar Boss Guide - http://www.wowhead.com/fallen-avatar-tomb-of-sargeras-raid-strategy-guide
"[j3]Fallen Avatar Abilities[/h3]"
should be
"[h3]Fallen Avatar Abilities[/h3]"
fixed π
In https://www.wowhead.com/sisters-of-the-moon-tomb-of-sargeras-raid-strategy-guide, Captain Yathe Moonstrike in Phase One seems to have skipped mentioning an ability, as how to deal with Incorporeal Shot is included under Twilight Volley, without a break or description of the ability.
http://www.wowhead.com/tomb-of-sargeras-raid-guides
Rewards section, still a %s in the title, not sure if normal?
Yes. It means the position of the character name if I recall correctly.
IntervenciΓ³n the Darkener
Yup, that's correct.
Wasn't sure about it
https://www.wowhead.com/titles could be <Name> but I find %s better visually. maybe because I know what does it mean?
got some dev experiences, so I got it.
No ideas about others people, ur call π
It is obviously representing a string to people with the slightest knowledge of CS but there are probably many who don't and I imagine it would help a lot, also regarding consistency since in quests and all the text says "Hello <name>" or "Good bye <class>".
thats the blizzard internal stuff as far as i know
like sometimes if they made some booboo, you can see npcs talk to you with %s
ummm theres a little typo with the new webhook
second word
Should be fixed
well, maybe when cache clears. It's been updated on our end though
the nighthold will keep us.
Hey just letting you guys know (it's a minor issue anyway) this page says that the PvP gear costs marks of honour but when I look at it ingame it's (still) gold.

It's getting MoH from the other vendor (which Blizz should fix imo and change to gold) but I think it'd be more helpful to display it as gold .-.
How could you, guys? :( Search results that point to Wowhead's PTR domain have this in their title: "PTR WoWHead"
we didn't...that's google being dumb
hi guys sent you an email, but will ask here anyway, im trying to set up a webhook to our discord server, but it isn't showing at all in the list on the webhook page is there another way to do this?
This?
eh, the addon just updated, but now it's marked as outdated
This is because the current inferface build is still 70200 while the the +Wowhead_Looter addon table of contents version is displaying "70205"
hmkay, so a small edit fixes it
@coral flint managed to get webhook done via my phone, didn't work on pc, all good now tho thanks π
Is there an easy way to dump a boss's drops, including primary, stamina, and secondary stats for use in a database?
So when wowhead includes blue posts from Blizz, they never mention the name of the poster (Sigma, Ornyx..), instead it says "Originally posted by Blizzard" which is already obvious. I'd like to be able to see who posted without having to click and go to another website, would it be impossible to include the poster's name ?
@lucid bobcat Not an expert on the subject, but I think that's just how the copying of Blizzard posts works, as all websites have just 'Blizzard' as the source.
I think in the most recent post, we include in our intro: "Feral Druid Feedback
Sigma made a post about on the current state of Feral Druids."
Yup noticed that, I was wondering if this could become a habit, to include the poster like you did here.
Could even be something like that, or just in the section's intro like for feral druid stuff. http://i.imgur.com/5rQKeGB.png
I think usually though, all statements are on behalf of Blizzard
it's not like it's sigma's personal blog
RFE: The bot pushing notifications for certain types of world quests.
RFE to the RFE: ability to put it on other server, maybe have it ping roles
mini RFE: publish the world quest updates in some manner we can have bots easily hit so we can build it ourselves?
example: Rank 3 bindings quest up! @leatherworkers <wowheadlink> etc
Of course, I thought it was still worth mentioning nonetheless
@gloomy cloud ^ your idea above :p
Maintenance doesn't show on every page, just an FYI... homepage still shows.
maintenance is now over
Anything major done at all?
http://www.wowhead.com/latest-topics is getting maintenance page, that's the only place I saw the page but seems to still be showing it
it's related to some back-end updates
Ah OK
just out of curiosity what is a good estimate for a guide to be approved? I know they are manually checked, I can wait that is not a problem hehe
@shrewd geyser usually just 2-3 days. Send me the link to feedback@wowhead.com as I'll take a look.
Will do π

Hey Gabriel, that first error in the console you can ignore. It's not affecting anything and we're aware of it. Someday we'll get around to resolving it though so it's not an eye sore. :D
The second is a known issue that we hope to correct eventually. There's a few other scenarios where they don't render properly either. We'll get it fixed. Thanks!
Fantastic.
I'm trying to buy Wowhead premium on my iPad, but it won't let me press "submit". Is the site not mobile-friendly?
Do I need a promo code? I don't have one.
@staff can you help?
@fervent basin You do not need a promo code. What is the Submit button doing when you try to click? Is it grayed out? Is it just not responding. Did you make sure the Terms & Conditions box is checked near the top?
Never mind, I got it to work on my iPhone.
I entered my landline instead of my cell phone number, don't know if that mattered. I also abbreviated my state name instead of spelling it out.
The Submit button just didn't respond on my iPad. I tried deleting the hyphen from my last name and everything.
Okay well I'm glad you got it to work. What's your Wowhead username?
Got it. (I can't always assume it'll be the same). ;)
I've added the Premium role to your Discord account. Thank you for the support! Sorry you ran into trouble in the process though.
Thanks! π
The maintenance page is still showing when going to http://www.wowhead.com/latest-topics work still being done or...?
try clearing cache
work lasted 5 min last night and the maintenance page was removed by the staff when it was complete
OK, just wanted to know if it was just me or if there was something going on with the forum. Thank you π
pretty much ever spell ever has a rather confusing "modified by" list that includes a bunch of random unrelated spells, for example http://www.wowhead.com/spell=203539/greater-blessing-of-wisdom#modified-by
battle shout, mounted casting and molten feather are always listed
also all pet battle abilities are listed as "undefined", like http://www.wowhead.com/search?q=Arcane+Storm
in the profiler page, it says I'm missing two pets that can't actually be obtained by players, they're part of a wq: http://www.wowhead.com/npc=105355/essence-of-mana & http://www.wowhead.com/npc=105353/font-of-mana
oh also http://www.wowhead.com/npc=105356/seed-of-mana, same wq
and I somehow doubt that http://www.wowhead.com/npc=120591/arnes-test-pet can be obtained either
that information is taken from blizzard's files
(the modified by)
the pets we're in a bit of a bind, if we flag test pets as hidden on the database, blizzard usually reuses the ID/page in the next patch, and then people go 'this pet is slow to show up.' so we've moved towards having some test data appear on the site so it doesn't get lost with endless PTR modifications
there are like 5 or 6 spells that show up in "modified by" all the time, couldn't they be simply hidden on wowheads end?
and in this case I don't think blizzard is going to re-use already used wq pet ids into obtainable pets later π
https://www.wowhead.com/npc=120591/arnes-test-pet they could - micronax and sun darter hatchling were reused pet IDs from mop
Hi guys. There's no direct link to the Midsummer Fire Festival event guide on the homepage, is there?
I don't think so, no
you can access it via the "World Events" section on Today in Broken Isles
that will take you to the events pages, which has a prominent link to the guide
Ah, okay, thanks. I am sort of used to the old link at the top middle of the page
yeah, we found the featureboxes weren't generating a ton of clicks so we scrapped that section with the revamp. if certain types of content seem harder to find though we can take that into account as we continue to redo the homepage
A sticky link would get my vote. ^^
can you explain what you mean by that?
like have the post about midsummer show up above the other news on the front page?
Ah, I haven't checked back until now. Yes. Well, not like a news post prominently above other news. More like, well, there used to be these "news" cards 4-5 or so and thought it could be like a static card. Well, they're gone.
Well, I see there's some space beneath these Broken Shore towers. Maybe you could sneak it in there. Like a card with the relevant eye-catching color and image.
yeah - we found that the four cards weren't generating a ton of clicks, but maybe if we had one or had it be a different dimension, it would be mroe eye catching
Tbh I think it would be awesome if the Wowhead user could customize the appearance of the wowhead homepage on his end.
Could probably be an additional perk for premium subscribers.
we've debated that, but we're concerned it would dilute the message/goals of the site. A lot of people still think that wowhead is just comments, because that's what it was 10 years ago. If someone chose to permanently delete part of the front page from showing up, they may not find something valuable on the front page
Yeah there's a danger of a general wowhead user being unaware of the plethora of tools available.
Actually not a danger, it's a reality maybe.
If you'd want to make users aware of the site's other features, perhaps you could make push-notifications on the, hm, bottom right of the window.
I'd love to see the Today In Broken Isles section redesigned.
Sorry to go off topic but a wowhead app could be cool π
push notifications made me think of that, just wanted to blurt it out lol
The goal is to provide information, and there's a bit of lack of space to bring the information to the guy. I can pretty much see the desire you'd want to provide about everyone with their relevant bit of info they're looking for. It's a difficult thing, working with limited space.
What does the Menagerie bit refer to? Is it the WoD Garrison Menagerie?
just did, strange
π
It's dynamic, it's changing from day to day or week, not sure about pets, and it's something pet people want to keep looking up. Doesn't quiiiite belong to Broken Isles or Legion, though.
It does apply to Legion with the instant level 25 pet token... That's useful no matter what xpac we're in
The emissary texts could be changed to icons of their factions.
Same goes for mythic+ affices.
Just have to have mouseover ready.
But you guys have your own design philosophies regarding that.
Images/icons look sleeker than text.
I agree with the faction image before the name of the emissary... looks better with an image next to it
I'd say it'll become pretty used to from people checking the emissaries every time and associating the icons.
Both in-and out of game
The affices are more rare, though, yes.
Under patch 7.2.5, for ToS, have a mini logo there... latest hotfixes, have a little wrench and next to weekly evens have a picture of the active buff... just spit balling
that could be something to add. back in fall 2016 we added those icons to the horizontal menu for classes, raids, patches etc. hopefully that's been eyecatching over time
In the blue tracker, there's a thread titled "do it later!" whenever I enter combat... There's no blue post there so it's pretty much promoting the OPs thread
Interesting.. we'll take a look. Thanks!
We're not sure why it's showing but it's pretty harmless overall. Regardless, thanks for letting us know.
If I had to guess though, maybe a blue post was made on it and immediately deleted. Pure speculation though.
Is the Wowhead premium linked to ZAM subscription?
The Broken Isles fire locations should probably link to the relevant achievements like the other zones: http://www.wowhead.com/midsummer-fire-festival-2017-guide#bonfires-broken-isles
@foggy vector If you have questions about Premium feel free to PM me. Thanks.
@swift night Even if we get an ad removed by one ad network, that doesn't necessarily mean it won't come through from another ad network or an entirely new ad campaign ran by the ad network at a later time. Unfortunately reports don't remove things in real time, as much as they would be great.. because then people would just report everything and there'd be no ads left to display. It's a frustrating proces, especially when a particular ad doesn't function properly on our site, we're always trying to keep up with them. Send me a PM next time it happens and I'll see if I can work with you to identify the specific ad you have issues with and see what, if anything, I can do to help. Thank you.
Wowhead looter being marked as out of date should now be fixed
So it's no longer single
no it's out of date. so it's either preggy or a prude
Hey. A heads up. Any search that also returns a result for a pet ability will display a tab called "undefined" instead of "pet ability". http://www.wowhead.com/search?q=adrenaline+rush#petabilities
Hello,
As a suggestion, is it possible to add MM+ affix on the bot?
@tawny crown the raider.io bot we just put in latest news has a mythic+ affix option. We also include the affixes in our weekly newspost
I can try to configure the bot to add affixes
Ok affixes are showing up in the newsfeed now
Looks like the World First bot has some timestamp issues due to bugs with how Blizzard is reporting kill times. The creators of the bot are seeing if they can address it π
Thanks Perc!

Is there anything WH can do about their mobile advertisements
These ads are getting infuriating.
That looks like a scam
He clicked one of them.
@tawny blade The client issue has been solved
@robust pine it is a scam, @coral flint i work in IT Security, i didnt click it. Its an advertisement that loads on the site and forces a redirect to these shitty scam pages.
Just got a new device and haven't loaded anything into it for mobile protection
Yea you can just close it but it takes over the tab you were in for WoWhead so you have to reload the site completely. You can't back out of it because its a series of redirects.
Its wowhead's ad provider that is doing it. But if this is whats going to be hosted on their mobile advertisements they need to remove mobile ads until it gets sorted. This doesn't pop up a new page with an ad, it takes people off the wowhead page completely.
Hey kerupt. Sorry that you're experiencing this behavior. The clear majority of our mobile users aren't encountering this and I'd like to make it a bit clearer that it's not our ad providers directly, it's a single ad campaign. These are created on one, or several, large ad networks by nefarious entities and they've taken extraordinary measures to bypass the safe guards in place by that ad network to get this behavior presented to the end user. We and our users report these ads to the networks and they investigate. However, a lot of the time the campaign has already ended or was changed to look perfectly normal again. These entities then recreate the campaign somewhere else on an entirely new network, rotating it around, making it very hard to catch. Weβre not the only website that experiences these issues and weβre always looking for ways to improve or mitigate the frequency of these incidents.
That's really interesting thanks for the infos
This behavior is absolutely not intended or desired. In fact, we hate them immensely, but there isn't anything we can do to guarantee these events don't occur, absent shutting down the ads entirely and that is an option that simply isn't feasible.
I encourage anyone who encounters this to reach out to us via feedback@wowhead.com. You can visit http://mb.zam.com/mb/History and send the contents of that to us and it will help us to narrow down the culprit and notify the ad network(s).
Is there any consideration of switching to a different ad provider that may have more stringent screening on the content they serve to customers?
Also, be aware of these type of ads in general, all around the internet... they're bogus claims. You have a virus? Call Microsoft now? No... not real. You've won an iPad? No... not real.
i didnt?!
generally anything that redirects unintentionally on the user's side is a scam ^^
I haven't once encountered one of these redirect ads on wowhead before though. Only on other sites. So, I'm unsure what to say. π€·
If it was a one off I wouldn't be concerned. But over the last 2-3 weeks (I purchased a new device last Sunday as I was due for an upgrade anyways) on two separate devices I've had this occur about 15%-20% of page loads on WoWhead
kerupt: Yes, we've considered and tested various changes to determine if any particular ad network is more vulnerable than the others but they're all susceptible to the behaviors you encountered. There's one pretty solid way to prevent them entirely but at a, say ~80% revenue drop, which would mean no more Wowhead.
Ads, and ad quality, are always being discussed and we're doing A/B testing on some of our sites to try and see what dials we can adjust to reduce the frequency these things are encountered. We employed an ad screening service to proactively monitor ads and generate reports to our new full time staffer who's entire purpose is reporting these ads to the ad networks for removal. We're doing everything we can to push back against them. I promise. In fact during this conversation I was in a meeting discussing, in part, the ad issues across the network and what progress is being made.
why are you chatting during a meeting?
If I/we didn't respond, depending on the person complaining, it can snowball like crazy. Wanted to stay ahead of that. π
You all are awesome
^Agreed, love the wowhead team, just Sas a lil less because he can be a little on the rude side... adjusting my rep... ugh lol
I think you mean playful. π
Evil π
@shell kestrel The fastest way to solve the problem right now, individually, is a Premium subscription. I know that's not ideal, and it's not something we're pushing on you or anyone... but I want you to be aware that it exists. $1 a month or less. If you want to try it out for a week first or something just let me know in a PM. Happy to further discuss anything you'd like there as well. Again, I'm sorry you encounter this behavior... I hate it, you hate it. The WORLD hates it, but as long as people continue falling for the claims it'll still be profitable for these asshats who keep making them in the first place.
And that's the exact statement given by Blizz on ingame whispers claiming they depth investigation abnormal account π It's $9 for a whole year, definitely a lot more affordable than it was before and that was an amazing decision to make on wowhead's part. Before it was just a little too much
It's kind of funny, anytime I see a new subscription advertised and the price is like $30+ a month I'm like... for THAT? come on! π
That's more than wow is
Exactly!! All premium does really on wowhead is removes the ads.
and a little more π
Well, there are other aesthetic benefits, and a few niche tools.
It's pretty simple though because we don't like shutting off major features from anyone.
@teal dragon I appreciate the invitation. Stepping into meeting myself but I'd be willing to explore it for a week on mobile to see the improvements
But then again, I am just now noticing the bag scanner tool lol
Sure, just send me a message when you're free. π Edit: which I see you already have.
i like the tooltip pictures
Say, I never saw anything as far as why wowhead client isn't on curse or anything... Is it something that's not allowed or...? I'm not too sure what the restrictions are for addons on curse so that's why I'm asking
Wowhead is run by ZAM and Curse is a competitor
Ah yeah I suppose... duh lol
ZAM and Curse compete? how?
Mainly Wowhead and WoWDB I think
I feel like there's always been some beef between the two, even if indirectly
There are multiple companies covering similar topics; we try to stay out of it, however we have gotten word about promotional 'do not link to wowhead' deals others have set up over the years.
Our focus is on creating a quality product, if someone acts unprofessionally then they're not really our target audience and we should just focus on what the users want as far as content and features π
Yes I think wowhead is pretty awesome
Dumb question: Is there anything on this page or anywhere on wowhead that I can find out the health of a boss at various raid sizes and difficulties? http://www.wowhead.com/krosus-nighthold-raid-strategy-guide
Not that I'm aware of.
Being flex... is hard to tell.
yeah flex kind of wrecked that
it might be possible to gather all the possible values from 10-man to 30-man
big pain though
i know it shows a range
That's Some Dedication! achievement is kind've defeating the purpose of it being a secret until you earned it. When you hover over it, it says for me anyway, 65/365... well, there's 365 days in a year so I'm thinking it's visit the site for 365 consecutive days. May as well not have it secret because it gives away what it is when you hover over it
Where are you hovering over it at?
When you go to wowhead.com/website-achievements ... It's under gold achievements
hmmm, it shouldn't show there for someone who hasn't earned it.
You're right though, it does show.
Yeah... Struck as odd... Didn't know if you knew it did that or not
Nevermind, it should display, it's just not telling you what it is. Deductive reasoning though, yes, 365=1 year
Yeah, not really secretive lol
Has been like that since 2010 tbh, because I remember reading that when I creadted my account
Sorry if I'm nit picky, just always have looked for the small things on websites because I've ran a few and those small things make a big difference
Look at this way... having achievements at all is a fun "small thing" that isn't actually necessary π
Yeah, I like the achievements. More should be added

I like how even though I'm a paying member, if I let my tracking blocker run Wowhead will hide all of its content.
There's also a ] at the very bottom of the new.
@glossy prawn None of my adblockers never ever hided actual content in Wowhead. Which one are you using?
Privacy Badger
Are you getting a blank page?
Basically. See http://www.wowhead.com/patch-7-2-class-mounts#druid

@tawny blade Hipnos found an uncorrupted Aggramar model in the files, I wonder if there's a specific reason neither wowhead nor mmo-champ posted it? http://i.imgur.com/IyIf7EI.jpg
His model is probably confusing and just simply forgot.
Though it's weird both didn't .-.
It doesn't post old news, just the new ones!
okie thank you! π
The timming for new ones can be around 5 minutes
I noticed you fixed the pet abilities in the search (instead of "undefined), thanks @tawny blade
yep π
every spell ever is still being modified by battle shout, lucidity, molten feather, mounted casting and timeless rapids though π
That's harder for us to remove, especially when we have to prioritize PTr format changes that would otherwise break large parts of the site
Hey, the text on this page for "Prepare for Battle" is incorrect, it links the same enchant twice. http://www.wowhead.com/legion-enchanting-guide
Thanks for all the hard work :)
^What one?
For the Darkmoon Dirigible the link shows the cost is 180 tickets but wowhead has it listed for 1k tickets... which is it?
It was 1k on PTR not long go so it might have been updated
This is waht is going on with that item
Blizzard was sloppy and took an existing DMF mount and reused it on the ePTR
so on live servers that ID is for the dancing bear which is 180 tokens
feels like that will create some bugs on the PTR if people that have bears suddenly have zeppleins
Ahhh, Blizz has been doing that a lot this xpac... reusing stuff... like why Blizz? Why?
Seems to be happening a lot more frequent this xpac though... at least before it wasn't as noticeable
nope. they've been doing it the whole time π
if you run around during a beta test there are a ton of PH
considering the current way PTR is being managed i.e. starting quite a while before the patch, no surprise PH is being used here too
They actually infact (I discovered) replaced the Broken Hook item that unlocks the appearance for the Underlight Angler with the Waterstone used in the SUn Darter Hatchling thing.
So basically the Broken Hook is gone forever. The "new item" appears to be the Underlight Emerald
How do I rate a guide on mobile? I can't find anywhere
Figured it out... I had closed the quick facts box
hey uh, the darkmoon dirigible page seems to be the darkmoon dancing bear page
when you click on the link in the blight boar post it leads to a weird page with dancing bear picutres, but with a dirigible description
Hey @tawny blade
I'm not sure the person is interpreting the tab correctly
it says the frostweed is created by the Broken Frostweed Stem spell which is true
and the reagents needed for the spell are frostweed stems
See, I was needing some clarification on how to interpret it as well.
But that makes sense now that you explain it.
That moment when perculia schools you. π "this cloth actually stands for one thing" perc... well then it stands for both. lolol. didn't think of that.
happy 4th!
why is wowhead sit so laggy and constantly reloading??
Might be on your end, It's fine when I load into it.
There could be a number of factors, ranging from a bad ad to using multiple addons that conflict with each other. We have some details in https://www.wowhead.com/forums&topic=143&p=1319 and if you email feedback, we can try to troubleshoot one on one
Shouldn't it only display Mythic Kills?
heroic is the new mythic π
I was about to ask why they are talking about heroic
does Today in Broken Isles not show Violet Hold bosses anymore?
It will once we have enough data from users utilizing our Wowhead Client. It's not ran frequently so it takes a bit of time after reset to get the data.
Now a hook of Normal Kill in a dead realm?
They said it's a bug.
Aright, good to know π I'll stop posting them then X)

two small relic/trait bugs: http://www.wowhead.com/item=142190/loves-intermission&bonus=1826:1442#improves hot blooded is listed 8 times (same case for many other relics that improve this trait) and http://www.wowhead.com/spell=200440/vicious-bites enraged mangle used to be an honor talent that was removed in patch 7.2 iirc
This is a level 825 blue life relic. Socketed into an artifact weapon. It is looted from Mrrgria. In the Life Relics category. An item from World of Warcraft: Legion.
Didn't the Today in Broken Isles section use to feature the weekly archeology quest?
we list it in weekly events https://www.wowhead.com/news=267006/new-events-in-wow-for-july-4-pet-battle-bonus-event-withered-jim-world-boss

typo with the webhook
As part of today's 7.3 PTR update, we've datamined all the broadcast text for 8.3.
We've already fixed it on the post itself, unfortunately that edit isn't retroactive to already sent webhook pushes.
it was actually updated before the webhook went out, but I guess due to cache it didn't update for the webhook
I was literally JUST about to post that. 3 hours late lol.
lol these ad threads are getting really silly..
^They're annoying... Either get an ad blocker which is free or purchase premium... (I know Wowhead doesn't like this response but that's what I did before I got premium)
ohhhh yeah I'm sitting here reporting them lol
Some of them just make me laugh... wrinkle cream bahaha
Just sit there and refresh the page you see these reports, new ones will come every minute at this rate haha
i get like 200 blocked ads per minute almost
i use ctrl shift j to inspect it, and its something called "EasyAd" or something like that
here let me pull up the page i got that many on
They should be ad requests not ads (we realize that whenever people see a higher number it doesn't feel amazing though). We are only trying to load 3-4 ads per page though
Third question in https://www.wowhead.com/forums&topic=143&p=1319 should explain a bit more
We've just updated wowhead with some Wowhead Premium prompts emphasizing the price change. Recent surveys showed that only 50% of users knew it was $1
So the messaging has been updated across the site and there is now an additional premium prompt when you scroll past 5 or 6 articles on the front page. As well as a "Remove all Ads" button underneath each ad that will take you to premium
@tawny blade how were you able to bypass the crashing that most of us have been experiencing on Argus?
I was able to get further but going to the turn in the quests after killing 20, it crashed again and now I can't get back on... you lucky lol
lol
Hi guys. While getting disappointed by a WQ not popping up, I thought it might be cool to have a feature to "watch" WQ's and get emails/notifications for this when one does pop up.
I tried to login and check if Wowhead had this feature but at the moment I'm running into a 501/502 gateway error.
We're looking to eventually implement a notification feature on the site, however, WQ's aren't currently in that plan... not that it can't be, but it wouldn't be the first the thing we do with it. Appreciate the suggestion though!
In respect to the a Gateway error... where is this happening?
Personally something I've been wishing for is a legion invasion webhook :p
@teal dragon The gateway error seems to be gone now that I checked again.
Anyway, My notification idea is because I don't look at every WQ on the map and sometimes play along without looking. Or am off the PC. And then it would be cool to know when a particular WQ is up because I'm going for an achievement credit.
I remember there used to be a garrison timer app that Wowhead offered. Perhaps it could be reworked to have the Broken Isles news and WQ things on it as well.
With the official legion app, we're likely not going to focus on something that blizzard could easily compete with. our traffic to world quest info significantly dropped when the app was introduced
yeah it was a real bummer, we had amazing use of the tool and then as soon as blizzard's was released it tanked π¦
we've still enhanced it over the months with tracking on the front page and rewards but definitely didn't go as planned
Same here
since when are the flags there?
we just added them based on feedback from a few weeks ago I think
people asked for flags so they could easily see if they could leave feedback/a reply in their region
thats magical. i say something without any indication except "flags" and you find the correct ones
lol - Well, when you're aware of things being launched, especially ones on the front page, you're pretty hyper aware of it. π
Yay! My feedback became a reality!
π
Score. Really appreciate it. :D
Loving the flags... helps a lot to differenciate the 2 regions... thank you!!!
Ok, im heading to bed now. Good night π Talk to you tromorrow
@tawny blade - Those mana buns look amazing! I'm going to make them for a special occasion
We'd love to see them if you take a picture afterwords. π
If I can get a picture before they disappear!
where do i post about issues with the wowhead client download thing? trying to send wow infos in with the wowhead uploader an it keeps saying its unable to process information try later
@tidal brook You can create a thread in the Wowhead Feedback forum, or send an e-mail to feedback@wowhead.com
@plucky fractal can i use the wowheadforums if my wowhead acc is through battlenet though?
Yes, that should be no problem
okay il start a thread there then. thank you
Aaaand it's back up (kinda)
OK, I am back now π
Hi all, I'm fighting against the profiler... It seems like it's not possible for me (event installing the WowHead Client, to have anything at the completion column... On the BattleNet Profile or in a custom list whatsoever (I would like in a Custom List I have for my fishing-mania). Any idea why that's happening ? Thanks !
The Discord Server is seeing a lot of issues right now so you probably won't get a response for a little bit until things settle down more.
I'm not seeing the issue with other servers so I have a weird feeling maybe this server is being targeted, but that's just a hypothesis without any basis really. ^^;
(and apparently the record is being shown there's no latency issues here: https://status.discordapp.com/
There were issues on 9th, but I haven't had any problems since then
Yea, I havent had any issues.
I can confirm what @coral flint says, the wowhead discord was offline a few times today.
All other servers in my list were fine.
Yes, it was down for me quite a bit today. π¦ I know it wasn't down for everyone though because I kept getting PM's to add to Premium role. π€· I've mentioned it to Discord a couple of times, but, despite being partnered I haven't ever gotten a reply.
@tidal brook There's a thread outlining known issues in the Feedback forum called 'Wowhead Addons' that has a workaround for the Can't Upload, try again later issue.
I think it's likely a regional thing. Some infrastructure problem somewhere affecting some users but not all.
Yeah i seen that sas right after i was about to post my own thread il let ya know how it goes
how does one save their profiler stuff again?
because for some reason it's not saving my stuff
If it's a custom list we're aware of a bug that could prevent the retention of your save.
It's on the "to fix" list when we can find the time.
I can't play any of the "VO" sounds from this page:
http://www.wowhead.com/sounds/name:glaidalis
Can someone check if it's just me (I am at work, so there's a firewall)?
(and ping me, please, I have the server muted)
@blazing lance blizzard loves empty sound files this addon
Empty for you too then?
yes, they are generaly empty i think @coral flint knows more
Will there be a discount code for the Blizzard gear store for July 2017? I need to buy some birthday gifts π
We have not yet received one, but we're told we will... once we have it I can assure you we'll make it known here, on Twitter and on the front page. π
Thanks! ππ»
Hey so I'm pretty sure there's a memory / CPU leak on the wowhead site, on chrome at least.
After about an hour, a Wowhead tab was using 500mb of memory, after being left for ages, a single wowhead tab is using 3gb of memory
Hi Fennec, we're aware of that issue, it's one of the side effects of advertising on the site. A periodic refresh of the page will usually clear it out. If you plan to stay on a single Wowhead page for an extended period of time I recommend clicking the little gray bar on the top far right edge of the site. It will collapse the ads until you navigate away or refresh (this usually is best on guide or database pages you plan to stay on for extended periods). We're sorry for the inconvenience this causes but we're always looking to make improvements and mitigate the browser impact the ads have on our users.
The suggestions I gave should help in the meantime though.
Thanks for the response, I just thought I'd alert you guys since memory leaks are generally really really bad :/
A couple of articles open and left AFK can cause my whole PC to run out of memory. I'll try collapsing the ads in the future.
It's definitely not something we want or like and hope to find ways to improve as soon as we can find a way to do so. It's absolutely not ideal. I apologize for that.
This is why I dont allow ads.
Smart move
hey guys, are there issues with the wowhead client uploading? every time I try it tells me "unable to process" after uploading a MB or so of data
i've even tried "run as administrator", which is a horrible "solution". but that didnt work either
ok found this thread, good candidate for a sticky here π http://www.wowhead.com/forums&topic=254531
sorted... first known issue on the list. bugger.
Hey Lodion, it's already stickied. π Glad you found it though. Hopefully that's one of the things we can get fixed in the next month or two. π
reporting in with the same
@swift night @cursive lark Still happening? Seems to be loading okay for me.
I've alerted our operations team. I do see some issues about 30 minutes ago but seems okay now, regardless, we'll take a look. Thank you!
seems to be okay now
hey @teal dragon i can't see that link stickied in this channel?
I only see two stickied comments, both relating to the shop page
@sleek hearth I think it was a bit of miscommunication. You suggested stickying it on Discord, whereas it seems Sas thought you meant stickying the thread you linked (which had already been stickied, hence his reply).
Hello,
Using wow-head tooltips JS script, the "powerred by wowhead is mandatory? (it's a bit design breaking :/ )
Also, does wowhead provide an api?
(currently working on a website, which may use some details, and some localisation would be great :p )
Seems like the model vieweing for Draenei is broken somehow
I've tried it on different pages as well
@deft veldt The HD version isn't working right now but you should be able to switch to SD to get it to load in the meantime. It's on the bottom right of the model viewer. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Why is this map displaying a weird section of land on top of "The Veiled Sea" text?
http://www.wowhead.com/azuremyst-isle O.o
I recognise that but y tho lol
Ths same thing happens on this map too O.o
http://www.wowhead.com/bloodmyst-isle#map
Bloodmyst isle is a pain in the bum to get to as horde
well not as bad tbh, just fly to the darnassus shore, wait for ship to appear and hop on it π
It's not that difficult if you stay away from the hubs.

(just putting this here in case wowhead staff miss it)
See posts, photos and more on Facebook.
Just a very newbie question, how I do when I write a comment to put a link to an item ?
On the website itself?
Yeah
Which item?
This one for example: http://es.wowhead.com/item=27439
[item=27439]
Ah, ok... Easy as hell π
So just put [item=#] and it'll work π
There's also a drop down in the editor area if you ever forget.
You'll still need the # though.
It's a reply to another comment so there's no menu.... In fact that's the reason I think it's not allowing me to put more than one line... π
Ah yes, comment replies are intended to be very basic. Quick/simple replies.
Note you may initially see your comment display as (item=27439). Just refresh the page for it to update.
@sinful totem Anything else you need help with? I'm about to sign off.
Alrighty, good night! 
Oh, no, thanks a lot @teal dragon ! π
anyone know if theres some sort of achievement tracker or list of what triggers wowhead based achievements one can get on their wowhead account or is it just a matter of hit or miss an do things while on wowhead hoping you trigger something
"Uploaded completion data for a character using the Wowhead Client." what constitutes as completion data?
I think it's just doing an upload with the client that triggers that @tidal brook
As in, completion data is just data from things you've completed on your characters, quests, etc.
wonder why i havent gotten then, i do uploads every few days generally. oh well
Thats weird.
right?
Yea
Question. When my monk's artifact weapons had all their main traits maxed the new traits became available after I did the Khadgar's questt on the boken shores. I had no troubles with any of the weapons opening the addition trait slots. Now my demon hunter has both weapons original traits maxed but it hasn't opened the additional slots on my second weapon. Is. This Bugged?
You have to go to broken shore with the DH and do the quests to unlock the traits
Yes you need to find that secret info thing
easiest way to get that is kill a green skull
I did that and got the first weapon upgraded but not the second one
Before I asked my question I had tried all the things you have suggested. When I tried equiping my second weapon and talking to Khadgar on the Broken shores He did not give me the quest again. When I did my monk I only had to do the quest once. My orginial weapon on my monk was my dps artifact weapons which I have maxed out. I did not have to do the quest again for either of my other 2 weapons so why would I have to do it that way on the demon hunter?
I just empowered my holy artifact a week or so ago, completely separate from my other two artifacts, so I'm positive it's separate quests for each one.
It is
Sianiaa, which artifact is the one you're trying to empower?
I have a slightly different but related query, i unlocked the empowered traits for my hunters bm gun but when i swapped to my mm bow i dont have the empowered traits option. Is that cause my bow isnt at 35 traits yet or do i need to do the quest again to open it for mm too?
You need to get all the traits and then do the quests
Look quys I already have my monks extra traits open so I know that. I had both of my dh's weapons maxed out on the orginal traits before I did the quest to open the new traits.
After listening to all of this I have submitted a bug report because I have concluded from your comments that is the only things it can be.
I had my Havoc wepons on when I did the quest and it let me upgraded my Vengence weapon but not my Havoc.
Have you checked with Khadgar in Dalaran? Or the NPCs next to him?
Would it be possible to actually change my name on Wowheads website, used this name years ago to just have an account and as i am actually providing information to the website i would like to use my name that i am known for.
Yes.

Hello peeps! Is there a way that the admins could change my zam Wowheads account name? I have had it since 2007 and I have changed my name due to personal reasons I would be really happy if this was possible π
hopefully this is the right place to post π
@mellow pagoda There's a message above that pretty much asks the same thing ^^;
yay it was changed whoop!
Thanks for every ones help. I finally figured out what was wrong and why I couldn't find the second quest. I already had it. I beleive I must of clicked it when I finished the first quest without realizing I had taken another quest becuase it was late when I did the first one so was tired.
Can some of the @staff remove the "This item's source is no longer available/removed. " from http://www.wowhead.com/item=5943 , or how can i report that on the site?
But they're no longer avaible.
look at the coment section

i posted aproxx 200 screenshots to the site

TYVM WOWHEAD!!! my pins arrived to Buenos Aires, Argentina!! I won this 1 year ago, they took 363 days to arrive home but Im happy!
@void swift B.A. FTW...
@void swift That's awesome, I don't understand why it would take a year to get to you though, glad they eventually arrived though!
Argentina's mail system is horrible.. We had to stop sending things to Family via post.
Can it really be that bad that it takes an entire YEAR to get something to you?
sometimes not at all..
Coz, i know mine isnt the best,,,but thats downright fucked.
we have had parcels just never show up.
Wow...
That's really sad. :/
Pretty neat you got your stuff @void swift π
Psh I could make a better one π
just noticed i posted this on site channel sorry xD thought it was off-topic

Hey everyone! Should this text channel be used to alert site mods on site changes?
For basic site related questions/feedback/suggestions.
Yeah, thats I wanted. Its something very minor - http://www.wowhead.com/kiljaeden-tomb-of-sargeras-raid-strategy-guide
In this guide, in the Mythic Dificulty
we can read that - " It is unknown if there is an additional "hidden" mythic phase for this encounter. "
It is now know that there is no Mythic fase. Just wanted to point that out
just me being picky xD
I'm guessing Toy Box support is kinda buggy with the Wowhead client and all? It's giving me incorrect completions on stuff. π€
It seems to be 1 of my characters it's showing has a lot of toys that I actually don't have. Maybe I need to delete her profile and re-add it?
Well if anyone comes up with a solution, please ping me or IM me, I'd be appreciative!
Hey for the unholy guide for different builds, my browser is blocking the various images from photobucket :/
http://www.wowhead.com/unholy-death-knight-talent-guide#unholy-death-knight-builds-necrosis
https://i.imgur.com/H8kJzFt.png
(I personally hate photobucket and would prefer the author used imgur)
Is not your browser. Photobucket went greedy and now is completely useless
photobucket went greedy?
@verbal seal fixed.
@tulip jetty Most toys are account wide these days, are you sure it's saying you have toys that you don't?
@teal dragon Yep.. it's only doing it for one of my character profiles, though. I think it may be acting as if she has all the toys, which I wish I did.. but I do not. It shows this way when I look at the Toy Box, but if I look at her profile, go to Toys.. things show up fine.
What's the profile link?
So, http://www.wowhead.com/list=13515162/us-moon-guard-nythlaea#9-toys is fine? But your Toy Box isn't?
Correct, want me to share a snip of what I'm seeing on my end?
Please, because at the moment I feel like you're describing a bug in game and not on our site, so a snip may be useful π
Sure just a moment.
Oh. Go figure, it's sorted itself. Maybe the info just got tangled up when I first started importing things earlier today. Now I just look silly. π
Not at all. It's possible it was cache... or mixed up data that took a bit to get sorted. Either way, no worries. π
Yeah. Thanks for getting back to me, though! Now I can use it to help track down missing toys. π
Of course! 
Im using [zone=7846] in an comment. Shouldn't this show the name of the Zone in the Laguage based on the Laguage I used on the site and not just a link with this text: (Zone #7846)?
@shrewd ridge Sometimes you'll need to refresh the page for it to show it properly.
Im just using the live prev. I will try thanks
Only in opera I can't see the page correctly, since 2 days maybe
Try turning off some of those ad blockers
Ty, the site is on my exeptions, but i don't remember opera having one included, that one was the problem
Last actualization of opera 2 days ago, also reset my extensions </3
does anyone else have a problem with the artifact calculator, the appearance being cut of by default?
tried it on firefox and chrome same issue
same for every appearance on every class, i always have to zoom out to see it properly
or right click to drag
certain classes like frost mage show fully since their 'handle' is in the middle
@coral flint i use http://www.postimage.org to post images and such..
Black text on a black background is hard to read
Should probably be white text with black border bold imo ^^;
Like how the progress bar for invasions are currently
@crude urchin Mine are showing white text for the black backgrounds and black text for the green/orange backgrounds.
Might be a browser related thing (or mobile)
Or just a weird glitch.
I think he might be on EU :v
So this is the "charging up" timer for invasions
EU
Ah yeah, same for me on EU
I think the color might be depended on the majority of the background, ie. the majority of that bar is orange hence the black color
i have 13 pictures. but there should be 23
yo
people are hating DH and druid sets being previewed on human models
I personally dislike it too
demonhunter and druid isnt half bad, elves arent that different from humans, imagine shamans
@tawny blade 11 classes 12 existing, you missed shamans
they are there
ok, looks like they were missing from the toc but the info was there
fixed now
Thanks
http://ptr.wowhead.com/patch-7-3-ptr-argus-content-hub
So um the link to the "Since the first preview, additional changes were made, raising the Artifact Knowledge cap to 55 and increasing the multiplier per rank." was changed. i dunno if anyone knows this.
The General Hospital link is expired
I've reached out to them to get a new link. Thank you @arctic cairn
Link updated. π
Sweet, ty
It seems shaman section aren't managed properly.
General & Set bonus are set as main section.
@tawny blade Kinda like some balise are missing, or out of scope
does the premium tooltip show character pins? e.g. hovering over an item to show if you have it on or (like you do on the item page if the character is pinned)
ToC should now be fixed
Hello! Able to talk to someone about my wowhead/ZAM account here? Need some help @tawny blade ? π
feedback email or @teal dragon is your best bet
@tawny blade Thank you, I've PMd him
@keen sinew Can you clarify what you mean by Premium tooltip? I don't think we restrict tooltips to premium users anywhere. A screenshot preview upon hovering over something with a screenshot is a Premium feature though.
How long does it usually take before a video (submitted for an achievement) gets approved?
Usually 3-5 days. There are about 180 pending right now. We have 2-3 volunteers that handle that as time permits and videos take a bit longer to review than screenshots.
Yours are all now approved though. π
Sweet
why the fuck did I suddenly get obsessed with getting achievements/rep on here lol
language Derek, there are kids here
;_;
Thanks Lonesamurai. So many better words to use in the English language.
Please stay on topic.
