Ellie - might post spoilers-ish 💙

you just know if blizz did add a marriage system in the game (i doubt they will btw) somebody living in 2004 still wouldn't allow you to marry cross faction

Housing Profession Feedback I posted this in the main housing thread but I wanted to also give this some visibility elsewhere, and it’s also a bit more specifically focused on the profession-produced decor rather than housing it...

I just want to mention that I had made a giant feedback post on all of the lumber costs of professions for every expansion quite some time ago talking about how heavy the cost is in combination with the very few lumber we receive. It didn't get much eyes.

fuck resonance crystals

nope

yeah this is something i gave feedback on multiple times and was one of my primary concerns. a lot of profession recipes also make no sense to use lumber

Housing has launched and you still can't talk cross faction in a neighborhood/home area

map with many house icons displayed across it

this public neighborhood i chose on my horde character (moon guard) is like 50% tichondrius people lol
1 person from MG, 1 from WRA, the rest are former PvP/wholly PvE servers

oof... so public neighborhoods are entirely random with no regard to server type, so RPers don't get placed with other RPers

other stuff i want to support probably sooner rather than later is addon compatibility - i think some addons like trp3's music will be probably broken in a house area atm (ironic as it uses the same library), same can potentially go for epicmusicplayer, soundtrack, musician, etc.

a few things i plan on adding (not in a specific order) - volume controls, custom music paths export/import (it won't/can't be auto-shared), ambience, trp3 link, browser themes

Some things are functionally a bit incomplete - there's a "cached playlist" browser but it doesn't function how i want yet

Dragon Rider is also getting a huge update, as skyriding vigor is being removed in 11.2.7. The amount of changes is too long to list reasonably in a thread, so i'll show examples

A list of options for playlists in a dropdown menu, including "Create New Playlist", "Rename Current Playlist", "Import Playlist", "Export Playlist", "Delete Current Playlist" and various custom named playlists such as "DWARF", "Default", "Pandaria", "bongle", "default", "horde side playlist", "niffen", and "silly alliance house".

Housing Music Settings, including "Auto-play Music", "Show Music Playing on Icon", "Show Button on Housing Controls", and dropdown settings to Auto-Share Playlists / Auto-Receive Playlists both currently set to "Everyone". On the right is a "Mute List" that lists "Name-Realm", with an example of "Annoyingperson-Halduron".

"Ayhangi's House Music" displaying the player's custom made song list on the right and a song list of all songs on the left. The music is currently playing one of the example songs in the custom playlist.

"Ayhangi's House" displaying the button to open Housing Music with a tooltip attached to the bottom, displaying the currently playing song "mus_52_wrathion_b_02".

Among some things that you can do is playlist creation so you can save / switch playlists, sharing your playlist with other players within your home, and receive others' playlists in their home (if they have the addon)

An interface displaying a song list on the left, a list of songs in a playlist on the right, and a player indicator with the song name on the bottom, stop/play button in the bottom left and next/previous buttons, and a song progress bar with the time stretching across the width on the bottom of the frame. The top contains a row of the usual housing buttons, and includes an extra new button with a music beam note

With the (pre)release of housing, I wanted to share a new project I've been working on for a while - Housing Music 👀
this lets you basically craft music playlists for your house

ultimately the time i spent wasn't really much to do with the addon restrictions though. if it was solely that i'd have been done within about 2-3 days, maybe a week at most. this is just more pointing out the many hours put into something that often goes unseen

i mean i can see why you'd think that but ultimately it's more just a case i just enjoy making things, it's not so much feeling compelled that i feel forced to do it, though i did prioritize these particular projects because of the latest update

With the new @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com Twitch Drop of the Topsy Turvy Joker's Mask, I've created an asset for any WoW Streamer to use!

the addon updates i've been working on have been for multiple hours on most days (many being 10-14) for the past 2 months or so

implementing some sort of volume limiter also probably is a good idea really, pretty sure YT videos have something to normalize peaking in videos for example

bluesky really needs to cache the volume set by the user for their videos and default the playback to 50% volume if a value hasn't been set. getting my ears destroyed by every video is not fun and somebody's going to horrifically abuse it at some point.

ocean waters always being super calm pond water has always bothered me. there should be waves and intense weather effects that happen that give your mount reason to be fatigued when going out into these boundaries with pushback effects. not to mention reflections not actually reflecting all models

2 major environment graphics things that really could use a revamp are water and the default skybox frankly. it's always been very silly that the sun/moon are interchangeable objects that rise and set in the same location in the northwest, with the stars being super low res stretched textures.

😓 i wonder what happened to the older water they previewed originally
youtu.be/aEgGuaKDwLM?...

world model object, different from m2 which are like animated character/creature models and such, mostly meant as immovable structures or large transports like ships that you can keep NPCs spawned on and navmesh around

A landscape of Founder's Point with a water reflection, however the water reflection notably lacks various objects like trees and shrubbery

Water reflection of Eversong Woods, displaying a mountainscape and 1 notably large tree without any leaves on its branches. The non-reflection displays many trees and bushes.

Water reflection of Razorwind Shores, displaying a a floating house object, displaying clipped / invisible geometry. The non-reflection displays the floating house with rocks hiding the normally-invisible geometry parts

A landscape of Founder's Point with a water reflection, however the water reflection notably lacks various objects like trees, shrubbery, and smaller items like a gazebo.

i like playing a game of "spot the wmo" when presented with the water reflection at max liquid detail
