Patch 6.1 - Twitter Integration
Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
The implementation is really slick and out of the way. If you're using Twitter it helps you share things with an in-game UI you can choose to bring up. If you don't use Twitter just don't attach a Twitter account and I don't think you'll see anything related to it. The goal isn't to start socializing everything, it's really just to make it more convenient for people that already are sharing their gameplay. If you know anything about our UI and philosophy on simplicity I think you'll have a good idea of how subdued the implementation is, but it could get fun as Addons hook in and interact with it.

Can you supply a screenshot of the feature (in what I assume is a pop-up window) and a screenshot of the UI WITHOUT the pop-up. Like, at a time where it won't be triggered.
I cannot as I am at home and don't have access to an internal test client. To answer what I think is your question though, the ways you bring up the UI are by typing /twitter (I believe that's correct) or by clicking a small "w)))" icon that's next to existing UI elements. There's no minimap button or popup telling you to Tweet about things.

And that is why I won't be using this feature at all. Having Addons 'hook in' on a feature that is tied to my twitter account is not one I would trust. Too much chance of Addons starting to spam up my twitter feed with their own 'subtle' or not so subtle advertising.
An addon cannot tweet something for you; you have to hit the button.

We will be monitoring the situation closely once patch 6.1 launches and will continue to use this thread to provide updates.

World of Warcraft 10th Anniversary Ending
The 10th anniversary celebration is coming to an end soon. You have until Tuesday, January 13, 2015 at 10 a.m. PST / Tuesday, January 13, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. CET to get anything you may have missed.

If you logged in at all during the event, the Molten Corgi would have arrived in your mail. A successful run of the 40 player Raid Finder version of Molten Core rewarded a nice Core Hound mount. The Hatespark the Tiny pet had a 10% drop rate and the Flames of Ragnaros weapon enchant transmog had a 2% drop rate. Anyone that killed Ragnaros also got a spec appropriate item level 640 helm.

WoW doesn't really have "grey" items as "rewards" anymore, though. More incidental gold acquisition. Not in chests. (Muffinus)
Oh man, tell that to my salvage yard.
Haha, touché, you opted in to that one though (Muffinus)
I did, it's free money, as I said I don't mind greys or whites.
They're great in some, but I don't think they're the right fit for every game. Specific items tell a better story. (Muffinus)

PvP
Possible to make Ashran Que make louder sound upon popping? Tab out for 30 seconds and miss que after 1+ hours in ;_;
We'll take a look (holinka)

I am also trying to be nice. If you have time, please look into fixing Ashran queues and imbalance,4 hr ques
Ashran queues are still high priority for us. Still exploring ways to improve them. (holinka)
not just queues. There is zero faction balance.
faction balance is actually forced. You can only join if there is someone on the opposite side to join at same time. (holinka)

Why do some classes get additional CC via glyphs? I think that's a bad idea, e.g Glyph of Garrote/Explosive Trap.
Many of the glyphs appeared before our CC problem was so obvious. We nerfed them last expac. (holinka)

Garrisons
With the inn requiring the last boss killed why not have the quest item drop off the boss as well?
most of the quest items have on-use effects to make your dungeon run feel a bit different (Muffinus)

Misc
Mentioned it several times that I no longer share plans about the game on Twitter. Hit up for any announcements. (holinka)
Weird statement from a pvp developer. Did you take on more than you can handle?
Nope, we just want to consolidate where information is coming from. Hard to follow 20 different devs. (holinka)

Master Plan Addon Updated
The incredibly useful Master Plan addon has been significantly updated since the last time we looked at it. Some of the new features include:

  • More compact layout
  • Auto suggesting groups to maximize experience, garrison resources, and chance for success
  • A list of the missions everyone is interested in, such as Highmaul missions, high garrison resource missions, legendary quest item missions, and more. The Blackrock Foundry missions are coming soon.
  • Auto completion of missions with a nice summary screen
  • Easier upgrading of followers with an upgrade button on each follower's page

    Good to see they're fixing the archeology issue. Some folks gave them a hard time over that.

    Alright, these people are unbelievable. Queue popup duration is something that should have been addressed early on. Now they say they will take a look?

    Well the entire tab reset itself. You kept your level but lost all credit for the solves. I dumped a bunch of boxed artifacts into dwarf fragments and ended up making 2 rare projects that I had already made years ago in cata. I made the innkeeper's daughter and the clockwork gnome twice on the same character. That's not how archaeology was suppose to work.

    I think you misunderstood that. They'll take a look into making the sound it makes louder. Like when you are using the dungeon browser I can clearly hear that it's ready when I'm tabbed out, but not for Ashran.

    Never even heard of this archaeology reset problem. Glad it didn't happen to me, I guess...

    Master Plan is so ridiculous. I downloaded it the first time it was featured on here and every time I go check on it (which is like every week - every 2 weeks) they've made some update that makes it change wildly but for the better. Don't think I've seen any addon evolve quite like it has.

    LOL, that warrior sperging hard in the archaeology thread. Holy crap, he insists it's a game breaking bug. Like Blizzard gives a fuck about archaeology anymore anyway.

    And as usual, Holinka disappoints.

    You should probably re-read what you're referring to, it'd help.

    it was adressed already you have now 60 sec to react

    and this addon is mess to much arrangement that screwing all stuff there, default ui is more appealing even without sorting

    I love how the devs are getting away from twitter as they're putting in twitter integration. Kind of sums up how derp these guys are.

    Master Plan is by far the best Garrison addon out at the moment been using it from the start. Makes everything way more easy and fast to do, us-full even with 1 toon essential for multiple toons i would say just to save time. If the creator(s) are reading this pat yourself on the back for an amazing job.

    As for this twitter shite... What the bloody hell blizzard everyone knows twitter is just for raging at companies, stars and those people who think they are interesting but not.. Why not use facebook as the social media platform i am sure more peeps would be happy with that.

    love how they changed the ashran quetimer but still didnt add a sound to it really if your gonna change something fix it 100% dont do a half ass job, and whats with the vendors moving back and forth bloody annoying

    Isn't it quite of pointless to say that the Anniversary Event is ending on Tuesday at 10am PST when they are taking the damn servers down for maintenance at 3am PST Tuesday early morning and not be back up until 11am PST? I mean seriously, am I the only person to realize this? Is Blizzard really this blind to see a blatant oversight on their end? Pretty impossible to complete/work on it if the servers are down 7 hours prior to it supposedly being over!

    Master Plan update is god awful. A majority of us uninstalled and downloaded an older version.
