Master Plan Addon
Today we are taking a look at some addons to make garrison mission management easier, starting with Master Plan.

  • Sorts the missions list so that missions that can be fully countered by idle followers are on top.
  • Shows the number of followers, number of bonus XP, and if each threat can be countered or not.
  • Mousing over a threat shows which followers can counter it. If a follower that can counter it is on a mission, the time until they are back is displayed.
  • The followers list displays how many followers you have that can counter each ability, allowing you to see which ones you are missing or have too many of at a glance.



Garrison Mission Manager Addon
Next up is the Garrison Mission Manager addon. This addon adds three buttons to the mission follower section screen, adding pre-defined groups that optimize for:

  • Success rate
  • Garrison resources
  • Bonus XP
  • Reduced mission duration

There are also several planned features listed that will make follower selection even easier. If you installed this addon previously, make sure it is up to date, as earlier versions had a significant performance issue.

To be clear, anyone who finds external buffs that they can use to their advantage in Challenge Modes are going to at the very least have their times, achievements, and items stripped. It's not something anyone is going to get away with, and just isn't worth trying to.

Are Drov the Ruiner and Tarlna the Ageless already up on gorgrond?
As I mentioned in the Wednesday Q&A, Drov and Tarlna will begin to spawn once Highmaul is open. (WatcherDev)

PvP
New server matches have been pushed for Ashran in the NA/EU. You must leave/re-enter Ashran to see the effects. (holinka)

The blue PvP gear that drops from skirmishes & bg's has 660 ilvl while the one you can buy has 675, is this intended?
Yes (holinka)

this cross realm faction balancing we were told Ashran would have doesn't seem to work.
We'll be refining it over the next few weeks. Hard to anticipate server participation in advance. Also some bugs. (holinka)

BG rewarded drops have a change to be warforged, is this intended, hopeing conquest gear cant be warforged?
It is intended. Conquest gear cannot be warforged. Nice longtail bonus for the bg player. (holinka)

Lore
So is Azeroth Velen still alive?
yes! (DaveKosak)

Was Admrial Taylor killed just so the horde could get something for Nazgrim dying? Feels horrible to loose yet another ally hero.
We don't think about character deaths like that, rather do what fits and is meaningful for the story. (Muffinus)

Lore question, is Teron'Gor dead at the end of auchidoun? Cause, he just seems to fall off the edge like team rocket blasting off
The fact that we haven't found his body is disturbing. Stay tuned! (DaveKosak)

World
Can we get the rare spawns to drop garrison resources once a week after they're killed once? I'd love to have a reason to hunt
This is the intent behind the endgame rares, and there are many endgame POIs (Muffinus)

Garrisons
Can followers be rerolled with the training certificate and get the Bodyguard trait? I'd love to have a bodyguard Ziri'ak!
No, bodyguard is specific to a few followers, because it grants them person-specific abilities and bonuses. (Muffinus)

I suppose you can answer this, is it intentional that salvage yard level 3 keeps giving me level 20+ greens? If so that sucks D:
the salvage yard loot is SUPER ULTRA random. Level 3 will give you a better pool, but yeah, it contains... LOTS of things. LOTS. (Muffinus)
Sometimes I get nothing though... That makes me sad
You should always get something, though some things (like currency) may only appear in your chatbox. Not the case? (Muffinus)

    So anyone who doesn't like ashran but says they love the rest of the exp is.... well the long diatribe that the asshole that wrote the comic went on. I love assholes on the web who lump everyone together and know all about their personal lives, every single last one of them. Whatever, I really don't give a fuck anymore. In execution, warlords might have the best writing of the game ever, but the story concept is still fucking retarded. And no, I haven't played it, partly because of stupid the concept looks, partly because of ffxiv. I'll still probably get it way down the road to see if it really is that good, but I have no personal reason to care anymore. And btw, I still love wraith, which is still when wow was most popular to this day(going by sub numbers), but I forgot, I'm supposed to hate things other people love. And no, overall wraith was not perfect, but the good outweighed the bad. It's called have a objective opinion. If that opinion makes me what the author said, fuck you. Hope you die in a fire.

    That QR code addon is useless to me. I don't have a camera phone and if I want it on me at work, I can't have a camera. That's why I haven't upgraded from an iPhone 3GS yet. 4S and up has that front camera that's not as easy to disable like the back one.

    Yea, Alliance gets all the memorial deaths and Horde doesn't. Alliance favoritism.

    Yeah right. Nobody found Taylor's death meaningful. It was one of the most anticlimactic and dumb deaths they've ever done.

    It was obviously done just to balance out the Horde losing Nazgrim, because the Alliance can't ever have something the Horde doesn't, even if Kosak won't admit it.
    Alliance: getting screwed since Bolivar Fordragon.

    Unless I'm terribly mistaken, Taylor may be physically dead, but hes still around helping out the alliance. Or did I not see him as an alliance garrison follower? I certainly don't get a ghost Nazgrim.

    Orgrimm Doomhammer died at the same time as Maarad. Ga'Nar, Durotan's brother, dies in good old fashioned Battle of Thermopylae style. Then there's our insane former Warchief, you know, the one that caused you Alliance bastards to invade our hometown for over a year. He's dead now too. We also lost alot of NPC's from the Cleft of Shadow due to Siege, or did you not notice the corpses on your way down to kill Nazgrim.

    Yeah, the Hordes had a few losses. Not gonna be a bit surprised if they decide to kill off Durotan and let Thrall step in as chieftan, which will suck, I like Durotan.

    The pinnacle of all Alliance heroes: becoming a garrison follower to do menial tasks for all eternity. Sounds like Taylor is actually in hell, so no...I don't think we should be getting credit for that.

    As an active Belf player, I can't wait for the Belf preview! If it's good, I wonder when it'll be released in-game. Hopefully not too long from now.
