Death Records
- By
DeathRecords
DeathRecords lovingly documents your guild's most embarrassing moments in dungeons and raids. It tracks every death and wipe, crowns new "records" of incompetence, and announces them to guild chat so no humiliating milestone goes uncelebrated. Best of all, it syncs across your whole guild — everyone shares one collective hall of shame.
Built for WoW Classic — Burning Crusade (2.5.5).
What it tracks
While you're in a 5-man or raid instance, DeathRecords watches the group and keeps records three ways.
Per instance — the worst run ever in each dungeon/raid:
- Most deaths in a single run (and the run's worst individual offender)
- Fastest first death — how quickly someone fed after the first pull, and who
- Most wipes in a run
- Fastest wipe — quickest first-pull-to-wipe
- Shortest gap between wipes
Per character — each player's personal lowlights:
- Total deaths across all tracked runs
- Most deaths in a single run
- Fastest death after 1st pull
- Fastest back-to-back deaths — shortest time between that player's own two deaths
All-time — the guild's crowning achievements across every instance.
When a record falls, the addon announces it to guild chat with the appropriate amount of mockery.
Guild sync — everyone shares the same records
This is the headline feature. If you're in a guild, DeathRecords automatically shares finished runs with your guildmates in the background using hidden addon messages (nothing is spammed to chat). The result: every member converges on the same collective dataset.
- New runs are broadcast as they finish, so online members stay in sync live.
- When you log in, the addon catches you up on anything you missed — the guild master acts as the hub, with any member able to fill gaps.
- Records only ever merge, never overwrite — an out-of-date client can't wipe out newer data.
- Force a manual sync any time with
/dr sync.
No setup required. Just have the addon installed and be in a guild.
Note: all guild members should run the same version. Different versions won't corrupt each other's data — they simply won't sync with each other.
