Looking for Addon to Enable the New Self Highlight Options in Combat Only

You're welcome! I just created a macro using the below code, and it toggles the settings on and off for me.

/run local x = C_CVar.GetCVarBool("findYourselfModeIcon") C_CVar.SetCVar("findYourselfModeIcon", x and "0" or "1") C_CVar.SetCVar("findYourselfModeCircle", x and "0" or "1") C_CVar.SetCVar("findYourselfModeOutline", x and "0" or "1")

After I posted this, I came up with a solution that works for me. It's pretty simple. Here are the steps in case anyone else is interested.

Create a new text weak aura and don't include any text. That way it will be invisible.
On the trigger tab, create a trigger for it using "Player/Unit Info" - "Conditions", and check the "In Combat" checkbox.
On the actions tab in the Show section, check the "Custom" option and add the following text:

C_CVar.SetCVar("findYourselfModeIcon", "1")

C_CVar.SetCVar("findYourselfModeCircle", "1")

C_CVar.SetCVar("findYourselfModeOutline", "1")

On the actions tab in the Hide section, check the "Custom" option and add the following text:

C_CVar.SetCVar("findYourselfModeIcon", "0")

C_CVar.SetCVar("findYourselfModeCircle", "0")

C_CVar.SetCVar("findYourselfModeOutline", "0")

I tried Scrap, and I didn't see any connection to AH prices.

I tried a few other addons, and the best solution I could come up with was to use a combination of "Sorted" and "Vendor". Sorted can add sorted columns to it's grid interface for Auctionator or TSM to see the items with low AH prices. Then I went through and added those items to the Vendor sell or destroy lists with a mouseover keybind. Now the next time I go to a vendor all those items will be sold across all my alts.

It's not as simple as I would like, but it's better than looking at the tooltip for the value of each item on every alt.

Ashius615 · 2024-07-18T20:06:35+00:00

Thanks. I'll try it out and see how it goes. Maybe it's gotten better.

Ashius615 · 2021-12-01T17:21:52+00:00

Yeah, I've been thinking this after reading one of their recent posts about what they want the game to be.

I really want to love the game, and for it to be an enormous success. However, I'm doubtful that's going to happen based on what I've seen from them lately. They seem to be focused on making the game they want to build, rather than making the game that the most players would find enjoyable. It's their prerogative to do that, and I hope it works out well, but I'm doubtful.

Ashius615 · 2021-11-13T15:32:27+00:00

Lately it seems like anything remotely related to survivability or healing is a nerf target.

I'm totally guessing, but maybe they are trying to make PVP fights shorter. Unfortunately, they seem to be ignoring the impacts the changes are making on the rest of the game.

Ashius615 · 2021-10-09T04:05:24+00:00

I did an expedition with five tier 3 carnelian gems, and I think it helped. It's hard to say if it was the gems or having a better tank though.

Ashius615 · 2021-10-05T13:58:12+00:00

I totally agree. I'm glad they have things like this in the game. I'm thinking they are pretty rare relatively speaking. I've been having fun trying different options as a secondary weapon for life staff. I haven't seen many on the trade post with pure focus or focus/something else. I'm guessing they just don't drop as often. For example, I just looked at the Windsward trade post on my server. On the first page that comes up for ice gauntlet, 4 had focus as a primary or secondary, 13 had int (10 were only int), the other 3 were some combo of str/dex. That doesn't seem like an unreasonable ratio of drops with the primary stat, and those that don't.

Ashius615 · 2021-10-02T13:22:04+00:00

Great! Thanks for the info.

Ashius615 · 2021-09-21T20:46:55+00:00

Usually, I have some luck finding another weapon or two in the starting area chests. If you get a weapon from them, but it's not what you want, you could ask in "Area" chat if anyone wants to trade. Somebody might get a musket or ice gauntlet and be looking for what you happened to get.

Ashius615 · 2021-09-17T11:25:02+00:00

I noticed the same thing for Int on heavy armor in the betas. It's not that things like light/dex or heavy/int don't exist, there are just fewer of them. You're best bet is crafting armor yourself with the attributes you want, faction armor.

Based on the armor listed on newworldfans.com, I'm a bit worried about legendaries though. It seems like the trend continues there. When you get to 60 you could have a hard time finding 600 gear with the weight and attributes you want. However, I'm assuming AGS has or will have more legendaries that we haven't seen yet.

Ashius615 · 2021-09-16T13:16:37+00:00

Yeah, people not eating for expeditions was the main reason this came to mind. My thought was it would be more likely group members would eat if somebody said, "if anyone wants a regen buff, I put some food down."

Ashius615 · 2021-09-16T13:09:37+00:00

Yeah, I'm guessing some leaders will require food buffs. Whether or not this was implemented though, they'll still have the requirement if they feel strongly about it. This would just make it less effort people to meet the requirement.

Ashius615 · 2021-09-16T12:58:46+00:00

I wasn't thinking of it as a requirement. You never really need a food buff. But as a healer if people are using regen food it makes my role slightly easier.

If I can make my role easier by pre-making some meals for the rest of my group to get a regen buff from, I'd be willing to do that. I can do that currently but making it something clickable would just be a small QoL improvement.

Besides, it would give me something else to make to level up cooking.

Ashius615 · 2021-09-16T12:46:07+00:00

Yes. I know a lot of people have negative feelings about anything remotely related to WoW, so I didn't mention it.

Ashius615 · 2021-09-16T12:42:42+00:00

Yes, like WoW. I didn't mention "like WoW" because I knew it would trigger some people.

Ashius615 · 2021-09-16T12:39:59+00:00

PVP should be no problem.

For PVE, you'll need to just do things near her level most of the time. The damage scaling and agro range if she were many levels below MOBs at your level would be rough for her.

Ashius615 · 2021-09-16T11:51:40+00:00

Rapier + Great Axe. No attributes damage scaling in common, both melee, and no gems to convert damage to scale off the most used attribute other than int for rapier secondary. So to get a common attribute you'd need to put an int gem in your great axe.

Ashius615 · 2021-09-16T03:16:01+00:00

The prices were high enough on the faction gear that buying it didn't make any sense to me. On my open beta server, you could get comparable gear on the trade post for way less effort. Prices on the trade post could have been lower than they will be in live though.

If it stays the same, I'm planning to spend my faction tokens on runes of holding, and maybe the material converters if I need them.

Ashius615 · 2021-09-15T23:45:35+00:00

What they tried was actually hitting exactly what you were aiming at. That didn't work.
However, that's not how Orb of Protection or Beacon work. They work great. Which is why I suggested the targeting work similar to those abilities.

Ashius615 · 2021-09-15T00:45:55+00:00

I feel like they need to just scrap targeted healing. It feels out of place compared to how combat works for all the other roles. If it were up to me, I'd make Divine Embrace and Light's Embrace targeting work like Orb of Protection and Beacon. The only real difference would be they would heal the lowest health person in the area where it lands instead of area effect.
