LittleWigs

[Dridzt]

Nice writeup but if I wanted so extreme hand-holding I'd use another bossmod.

LittleWigs should stay with the BigWigs philosophy of "warnings + timers, not tactic".

Tell me what's happening, let me decide what to do about it.

[Lothaer]

Yeah the "Do this" part of the writeup could be left out but there are some pretty dumb players out there, i wipped on Azshara twice because stupid people didnt interupt her (im a holy priest i dont have a interupt).

on a side note I just realized i resurected a thread that had been dormant for almost 8 months, atleast I posted in the correct threat, well the one the LittleWigs Overview page sent me to anyway.

All the LittleWigs: Lich King modules bug out with the current release/forward alphas of BigWigs (r8950-release/r8955).

In the Big Wigs Encounters options, all the dungeon names are visible on the left side of the options panel. But click one of them (for example, Violet Hold), an error is thrown up and the module options never load:

["message"] = "BigWigs_Options-r8954\\Options.lua:763: We wanted to show options for the zone \"536\", but it does not have any modules registered.\nBigWigs_Options-r8954\\Options.lua:763: in function <Interface\\AddOns\\BigWigs_Options\\Options.lua:751>\n<in C code>: in function `Show'\nInterface\\FrameXML\\InterfaceOptionsFrame.lua:28: in function `InterfaceOptionsList_DisplayPanel':\nInterface\\FrameXML\\InterfaceOptionsFrame.lua:46: in function `InterfaceOptionsListButton_OnClick':\n<string>:\"*:OnClick\":2: in function <[string \"*:OnClick\"]:1>\n",

plz update all

I've noticed that when I returned for MoP, that LittleWigs' modules are saying "dependency missing" on my addons list, and what is missing is LittleWigs. I removed everything using the Curse Client, used Get More Addons and found three listings (LittleWigs, LittleWigs: Lich King, LittleWigs: Burning Crusade). In game, however, these modules are giving the message:

• LittleWigs [Auchindoun]
• LittleWigs [Coilfang Reservoir]
• LittleWigs [Magister's Terrace]

It seems to be just those three, and not the entire Burning Crusade suite, and Lich King and LittleWigs itself work fine.

BigWigs and all the modules I have installed for it work fine as well.

[funkydude]

Non-MoP LW modules are broken even if they didn't have that dependency. I'm struggling for time as it is to finish MoP modules, I doubt i'll get round to fixing old ones.

[Dridzt]

I usually try to contribute logs and an opinion on what abilities should have timers and or warnings for past expansions but honestly the way Blizz has tuned "heroics" this time around it's inconsequential.

Everything is ignorable the moment you can step into them.

In my opinion LW would be much more useful in challenge mode atm but unfortunately I have only a handful of runs there and don't expect to do more for some time.

Right now LittleWigs:BC seems to be missing completely. It's neither on Curse nor on WoWAce.

[gamingfossil]

It's a safe bet that too much of the code for BC LittleWigs is outdated badly enough that it would need a complete and total rewrite from scratch, and nobody's had time to step up to the plate. I'd consider giving it a go myself except that I'm really bad at script writing and coding.

That, and the fact that the average BC dungeon, even in heroic mode, can probably now be soloed and facerolled by any decently geared 90. They can stand right in the fire, heal through damage spikes, laugh in every boss' face as they sledgehammer them down.
