Fate Locked

FateLocked (TBC Anniversary Edition)

FateLocked is a "Hardcore" style progression challenge addon for World of Warcraft (specifically targeted at TBC/Classic clients). It fundamentally changes how you play the game by restricting your character's potential and forcing you to rely on RNG (Luck) to unlock your power.

Core Mechanics

• The Lock: When you start, everything is locked. You cannot equip gear (in any slot), use class abilities, or learn professions without triggering a violation.

• The Deck: The core progression system is a "Deck of Cards."

  • Earning Draws: Every time you Level Up, you gain a "Draw."

  • Unlocking: You spend Draws to pull 3 random cards from the deck and choose one. These cards unlock specific Gear Slots (e.g., "Unlock Head Slot"), Abilities (e.g., "Unlock Fireball"), or Professions.

The "Police" (Violation System)

The addon actively monitors your character in real-time (v20.0).

• Gear Check: If you equip an item in a slot you haven't unlocked yet, the screen goes dark, an alarm sounds, and a "VIOLATION" warning appears.

• Ability Check: If you cast a spell you haven't unlocked, the violation triggers.

• Profession Check: It scans your known skills. If you learn Cooking, Fishing, First Aid, or a second Primary Profession without unlocking the card, the violation triggers.

• Timer: A persistent "Total Violation Time" tracker records exactly how long you have spent "cheating" or playing with the addon disabled, allowing for verification of legitimate runs.

User Interface

• Interactive 3D Model: A 3D model of your character that reflects your currently equipped gear. 

• Live Updates: Gear slots on the UI update in real-time to show the icon of the item you are actually wearing, with tooltips on hover.

• Deck Viewer: A scrollable list allowing you to see exactly which cards are remaining in your deck.
