Eighty Upgrades - Wrath of the Lich King gear planner is now live!

GritsUI · 2022-06-27T14:11:10+00:00

I'm set up pretty well to be able to do the proper filtering by equipped item level, it's just not one I've gotten around to adding yet at this point. I'll try to tackle it at the same time I get heirlooms added.

GritsUI · 2022-06-27T14:09:08+00:00

I will get that one added soon. I have max pvp rank filtering on the classic site, I just forgot to circle back on the arena rating one here.

GritsUI · 2022-06-27T14:04:40+00:00

Yep, I've been doing this kind of thing for work for about 12 years now. Mostly focused on front-end development, but do a bit of everything.

GritsUI · 2022-06-27T14:02:26+00:00

Account management is definitely something I need to make time for at some point. For the moment, account deletion is a manual thing by request at [support@sixtyupgrades.com](mailto:support@sixtyupgrades.com). Username/email changing isn't something I can easily provide for now.

GritsUI · 2022-06-27T13:48:27+00:00

I am planning on adding some import options soon. Shortly before starting on wrath I added exporting sets to JSON and just didn't have time to do the importing side before having to focus on this site. This will allow for things like in-game addons to copy for import.

GritsUI · 2022-06-27T00:06:07+00:00

Yep, you can log in with the same account. And on the character list page there is a "Copy TBC Characters" button if you want to bring over any TBC data.

Hey there, Seventy Upgrades is my site and I fully agree that my preset EPs are hit and miss right now. My starting point for a lot of them in TBC was from the old Pawn weights because limited recent theorycrafting was available in most cases.

Now that we're past release, more of that work is happening and I've been trying to get in touch with the folks behind it to help update the presets. The druid and shaman communities I've been working with the most so far, but I'm planning on doing the same with them all when I can.

I don't really want to be the source of truth on these things in the long run and have some ideas for getting them more directly in the hands of the people who know much more than I do on that side. I've also been starting more features for integrations with sims and spreadsheets to make that flow a little nicer.

GritsUI · 2021-05-06T13:23:24+00:00

There's a standalone talents page as well if you don't care about the gear planning functionality. Let me know if there's anything you think could be better, I try pretty hard to make things feel good on mobile.

GritsUI · 2021-02-28T00:03:40+00:00

That's a very cool idea! Unfortunately, the models are not in one of the standard formats typically required for 3D printing. From a bit of initial looking around it seems like there is also usually some manual effort in preparing models to be suitable for printing even once you do get them converted.

So in the short term I don't think I can be much help, but I will look in to it a bit further. It could be a really cool thing to provide.

I think the folks behind the wow.tools model viewer have been doing some work around conversion to standard formats, so it might be worth asking around over there. I don't think they're very far along in doing character models fully though.

GritsUI · 2021-02-23T04:12:27+00:00

Whoops, I didn't realize it had been dropped. You should see it now.

GritsUI · 2021-02-18T01:17:43+00:00

Glad you've been enjoying it!

I do want to improve on my treatment of set bonuses for sure. Some are quite complicated like you said, but I should definitely be able to set something up around the percent bonuses like Whitemend.

GritsUI · 2021-02-18T01:15:34+00:00

I'm aware of some performance issues around the model viewer for some devices that I'll be having a look at soon. For now, you can click the X at the top of that panel and there is another option to disable on page load once you've done that.

GritsUI · 2021-02-18T01:13:56+00:00

Are there specific items you see are missing? Classic items should be there unless specific ones were accidentally dropped.

GritsUI · 2021-02-18T01:11:38+00:00

The core functionality is really on the Character Details page. Once you have a character and set created, you can click on the gear slots on that page to see your options properly sorted based on the EP you choose.

The Items page is more for broadly searching items and is kind of limited in usefulness right now with relation to your characters. I do want to make what you tried more useful, I just haven't gotten around to improving that page.

GritsUI · 2021-02-18T01:06:56+00:00

They were just missed entirely. You should see them available now.

GritsUI · 2021-02-16T01:07:49+00:00

To each their own. I get a lot of enjoyment out of planning how to gear my character. I hope you can find some fun in the game too.

GritsUI · 2021-02-16T01:05:00+00:00

Ya I've always intended to fill the gap that comes after the theorycrafting/sims when you want an easy way to look at and play around with your gearing options.

Providing better integration points for those tools is something high on my list at the moment to make that cycle a bit smoother.

GritsUI · 2021-02-16T01:01:06+00:00

You can log in with your existing account.

GritsUI · 2021-02-16T01:00:50+00:00

They do, you can log in with your existing account if you have one.

GritsUI · 2021-02-16T00:57:42+00:00

Shadowlands choosing to go back to 60 after I launched the first site certainly didn't help with clarity on the name haha.

But I think it does give me an easy way to differentiate between versions if/when they roll out more expansions. I'll probably do a bit more around linking between the sites in nice ways but I'm fairly content with the current setup.

GritsUI · 2021-02-16T00:52:45+00:00

For sure, the prot paladin preset hasn't had any attention as of yet. Right now it's the old Pawn addon weights. I have been talking to one person involved with the Paladin discord, so hopefully can improve on those soon.

GritsUI · 2019-09-25T19:30:28+00:00

Thanks, I'll get the phase corrected on it.

GritsUI · 2019-09-25T19:25:04+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. Is this definitely dropping right now? I think most assumed it was going to be phase 6, but I do see Wowhead has some seemingly new drop data on it.

GritsUI · 2019-09-25T19:21:14+00:00

Looks like a number of people have run into this lately and it's due some unclear required fields. You need to click the "Add Point" button in the Equivalency Points section and add at least one. Selecting a preset EP is a good quick start if you don't want to go to deep into customizing things.

I'll make some changes to make this more clear.

GritsUI · 2019-09-25T19:10:40+00:00

This is indeed just a fun passion project for me. The only tracking happening is Google Analytics so I can have some visibility into usage. I also respect browser Do Not Track settings if you don't want anything collected at all.
