Description
GankWatch
A customizable world PvP enemy-awareness addon for WoW: Forever. Recognize recurring opponents, keep a personal watchlist, and receive clear warnings when watched players appear again.
Main features
-
Enemy sightings: See player names, classes, and levels when available. Separate Visible, Recent, and Watchlist tabs distinguish current observations from historical sightings.
-
Personal watchlist: Categorize players as Dangerous, Rival, or Ignore, and save private notes.
-
Recorded history: View watched players’ first and last recorded sightings and their last observed zone.
-
Search and filters: Find players by name, realm, or saved note, and filter by category.
-
Prioritized alerts: Dangerous warnings take precedence over Rival warnings. Simultaneous sightings are grouped to reduce banner clutter.
-
Customizable warnings: Choose category sounds, banner position and size, display duration, and repeat delay.
-
Quiet modes: Suppress alerts while dead or on flight paths, mute sounds, or temporarily snooze warnings.
-
Faction themes: Choose Alliance, Horde, automatic faction, or neutral styling.
-
Flexible layout: Move, resize, and adjust panel opacity. Use a compact three-card view during combat.
-
Minimap button and shortcuts: Open settings from the draggable minimap button and assign optional keyboard shortcuts.
-
Watchlist backup: Export notes and categories, then validate and merge imported backups while preserving existing entries.

Detection and compatibility
ForeverPvP observes enemy units exposed by the client. It does not reveal hidden enemies, read restricted combat logs, track enemy cooldowns, or automatically target players.
Scanning pauses inside instances. Recent sightings and recorded zones are historical information—not a radar or a guarantee that an enemy remains nearby. Losing observation does not prove that a player left the area or died.
This beta targets WoW: Forever, interface 16001. Other WoW versions are not currently advertised as supported. Screenshots labeled DEMO or PREVIEW show sample data.
Privacy and support
Watchlist data is saved locally per character. There are no analytics, external accounts, or automatic data-sharing features.
