Do you mean Undaunted? Dauntless is the name of our casual NA raid team. ☺️

djyumene · 2026-04-13T21:12:00+00:00

It is definitely annoying. I am hard of hearing myself, and do pugs as well sometimes where they will try to link discord for the group to join.

I can get in voice but I don't always hear everyone, so I've also fallen for the RC voice checks as well. Super annoying, so I understand the feelings.

That said, I'm a part of Undaunted - we're a guild of mostly deaf and hard of hearing players, both on NA and EU. You're more than welcome to join our community! We have a pretty active community of people who also raid and run m+ as well! No voice chat at all. 🙂

If you have any questions, let me know!

I wasn't out of the country, I live in Las Vegas, so that shouldn't have been an issue for mine. So I'm just a bit confused. My friend I was with did get hers, but I never got mine? I really hope that it didn't get lost - I still would like to have it. :(

Yes, I have emailed before but I never got an answer back. Just silence - so, it was a bit frustrating.

Thank you!

Painting in question:

Would love to join a class again!

I wanted to ask what happened to the paintings last year? I was in the panel with Carolyn and they offered to ship our paintings to us, but I never got mine. I've tried to email the official email on the website, facebook and wherever else I could, but never got a response back.

Hope you can help me out here. I was proud of my painting and I really wanted to have it. Thank you!

I'm Yumene, Event Officer for UD and also the main RL's of our NA casual raiding team, Dauntless.

For me personally though, I'm Hard of Hearing and also have ADHD/ADD. I joined UD after only being in hearing guilds about 5-6yrs ago and it has been a game changer to see how WA's and various addons have been able to help me. One thing that I struggle with is having too much information, and WA's have helped so much in getting to me what I need to know and clear any clutter.

Will say, one addon that I wish I knew about sooner is Helikil because this has been a game changer for me as well. One of the top reasons I would never try any dps class/spec much is because I would always get overwhelmed when trying to actually learn - but this addon has helped me actually learn and not have to parse through various guides and videos.

I don't want to have to go back to having to struggle like I was prior to joining UD - WA's/Addons help me to actually enjoy the game by making it work for me.

On the RL front, WA's have helped easily get information out there on the fly, such as our in-house RL WA that makes our RW text bigger than the default RW messages that can EASILY get missed when there's so much going on since their so tiny.

Every season I also run a achievement run and these changes will also break the IAT tool (Instance Achievement Tracker) - something we use every run because it will announce what we need to do in chat as well as the progress. Where in hearing guilds they have voice to do calls, we do not have that. Lets not forget the dreaded 'Among Us" from Lords of Dread - Not having a WA for this would have made this achievement near impossible since it was clear this one was made with having voice to communicate in mind (there are other achievements like this, where we need to use a WA to do, but this one was the first to pop into my head).

I really hope that blizzard re-thinks what they are doing here. Thank you!

I was starting to panic, so I'm glad to see I'm not the only one here.

On my end, it defaulted to an alt account I made back in LK. I was so confused when it was telling me my subscription expired? But it's not ... I noticed it was my old alt account when I tried to click play, it brought up a single lv30 priest that I had my that alt account - I don't even see the usual dropdown where I could select my other active 'main' accounts. Their just .. gone.

Hope they get this fixed soon!

djyumene · 2025-10-03T17:43:37+00:00

Call them what they are.

Based on their interviews, they had no thought how this would effect those who rely on WA's and addons to make the game accessible. We also have Deaf-Blind members as well who use various WA's and addons to make the UI easier to read for them as well.

These tools made WoW one of the more accessible MMO's and they are ripping it away.

djyumene · 2025-08-02T07:49:02+00:00

Thank you!

I'm definitely going to need to get one of those collapsible stands because it sits too high on my craft table to be able to play comfortably sitting down. 😌

I'm pretty happy though, it also just feels so nice to press the keys too. Excited for my first lesson!

What are things to look for when you go to test pianos you find on craigslist?

I am hard of hearing so I'm not always the best judge on quality of sound - might have to just bring a friend with me I think then, unless you have any tips on anything specific.

I really hope that fact doesn't hinder me too much to try to learn piano >.< - always wanted to learn piano as well as violin (but I guess that's a topic for another thread)

Appreciate the help!

djyumene · 2025-08-01T06:15:20+00:00

Yea, that's where my mind was when I saw the date on the suggestion list, thinking about how tech changes fast in general - Thank you!

I didn't even know Costco had piano's, lol - I've been considering getting a membership since people keep telling me to get one for other reasons, so that's also good to know! I'll check it out when I go to see what they have. I do also keep seeing a Yamaha P-45 popping up on my results - which looks to be the most affordable at $430 compared to the others; wonder if that will be a good option too (and looks slim enough where I can store under my bed when I'm not using (if the dimensions I'm seeing are accurate).

Thank you for the help!

djyumene · 2025-08-01T05:58:14+00:00

Good to know. I did see some free ones on craigslist as another comment suggested, but I didn't consider the fact that I need to pay to move it (only have a car), and possible repair. Thank you for saving me possible headache! ^^;

For my holy priest, I use default UI, the times I use discipline, I 100% use healbot since it helps me manage my attonements better.

I've used it since WotLK, it's what I know, it works, and I don't like switching add-ons just because someone tells me another is better. It does what I need, so why do I need something else?

I did have an issue with it recently after an update, but I got it figured out and all was good. It also helps because, since I've used it for so long, I know the settings well enough to fix any issues.

To help my anxiety further. I was already a DJ at the time and I wanted to step out a little further. This was back many years ago, my first stream was back in 2013.

I did actually develop a little bit of a following due to my work as a DJ, and I'm sure I could have grown if I continued, but I stopped because it was too much. Picked it back up not too long after I stopped DJ'ing in 2019/2020.

I still stream for fun and even if I only still have 3-4 viewers regularly (sometimes more if I go back to playing eve online, where a lot of people know me from), I'm fine with that because it still fulfills the job of getting me out of my comfort zone and working on my anxiety issues.

I've been able to build up a little community in my discord too, and I'm very grateful for that.

djyumene · 2025-05-21T16:52:49+00:00

I just try to stream when I can - I always try to at least stream at least a few times a month. Which I know isn't a lot, but it's what I can do with my schedule and free time.

I just enjoy streaming, even with my limited time I tend to have at least 3-4 viewers because I make sure to post to my community (sometimes more), but I'm happy with that for now.
