Highground Battlegrounds — Timers, Captures and Flag Carriers

Highground Battlegrounds shows what a battleground hides: when each graveyard sends its players back, who is taking which base and who wins at this pace, who carries the flags and where the enemy was last seen. It is Highground's battleground half, without the kill order, for Retail, WoW Forever and Cataclysm Classic.

Features

⏱️ Resurrection timers

• Countdown rows for known graveyards on both teams: YOU is your identified resurrection destination, OURS and THEIRS the rest. ~ marks an estimate; -- means unknown.
• Worked out from the spirit healer, teammates coming back, captures and enemies seen dying and returning. Graveyard spots are learned and kept for next time.
• Silvershard Mines (Retail): both graveyards on the map with their timers.
• Resurrection alert: when health and destination are readable, low health and a nearby wave can suggest a short wait. Set thresholds in settings. Flag and orb carriers do not receive death-timing advice.

🏳️ Captures and win prediction

• Observed base assaults with their countdowns, timed holds and resets. Unknown start times stay unknown. Recognized localized announcements update nodes and flag state using live names where available. (new)
• On supported resource maps, who wins at the current pace, when, and how many bases the trailing team needs. Long-term predictions are disabled while Blitz bases cycle.
• Cataclysm Classic: a sound when an enemy starts capping near you, and countdown bars over the capper's nameplate.

🚩 Flag carriers

• Both carriers with health, Focused Assault stacks and time held.
• Left-click targets, right-click focuses, also in combat.
• Blizzard's carrier frames can hide while the panel shows.

🗺️ Enemies on the map

• Enemy positions on the world and battlefield maps, from what you see and what your teammates share.
• Pins age: greyer, fainter and smaller over time. Approximate locations are marked ~; enemies without a usable location stay off the map.
• Teammates running Highground or Highground Battlegrounds share sightings, resurrection timers and captures.

🗡️ And more

• Sap calls for rogues in Warsong Gulch and Twin Peaks: a raid warning to sap the enemy flag carrier or a healer after they die.
• The quest tracker hides during battlegrounds.
• Objective overview: ownership, recent sightings and resource-map plans where available. Cart and epic maps show visible objective status and announcements. (new)
• /hgbg calls prepares incoming/help/clear/escort messages; press Enter to send. /hgbg history keeps observed results, personal stats and timelines. (new)
• /hgbg alerts opens alert presets and category controls. (new)
• Turn it on in every battleground or only rated ones, and per size: 10v10, 15v15, epic.
• Refreshed Highground, Ember and Parchment themes, plus Azeroth (/hgbg theme NAME). Text size, clearer focus and status labels, and Reduced motion are available in settings. (new)
