FAQ
Addon says active time is much lower than played time The addon tracks a certain percentage of your addon uptime compared to total /played. If it is about seconds or minutes - no problem. If it is about hours - consider rerolling before level 20. After level 20, record the run as instructed by the error message.
this can happen due to:
-
Disconnect or Game crash. This happens due to WoW's WTF folder not updating due to the unexpected end of the game process.
-
the Game is killed with alt+f4 or otherwise WITHOUT logging out first (exit game IS NOT THE SAME as logout)
-
the character has been played on two or more computers. Refer to the Multi-pc workaround below
The addon is missing recorded levels after a DC / Crash This happens due to WoW's WTF folder not updating due to the unexpected end of the game process. If you happen to have crashes every now and then consider typing /reload every 15min or so when safely out of combat's harm. It will save the process for the addon.
I checked the accountability tab and there are people A LOT of in red, what do I do? Close the addon tab and open it again after a minute or so. They should be green now. It takes time to sync at times.
How can I see how much has been recorded on my character?
/dump Hardcore_Character.time_tracked..', '..Hardcore_Character.time_played..', '..Hardcore_Character.tracked_played_percentage
Currently, you are not allowed to use the mailbox* at all. However, I miss sending/spamming my friends with mails in game. It would be amazing to allow mails to be sent to other players whilst detecting that no copper or items have been sent in the process.
Excellent addon, excellent community!
Just reporting a minor bug:
Ephemeral (and possibly other starting achievements) are somehow becoming unlocked.
After choosing the achievement I tested it to see if it was working. Repairing was correctly blocked by addon. Sometime later, I accidentally repaired (out of habit) and it was not blocked...
Edit:
Tested and confirmed that this happens pretty consistently.
- Achievement is enabled at level 1
- Tested to be working at level 2
- tested again a couple levels later and not working. No errors encountered.
Hi! Strange bug I have come across, after spending quite a while disabling and enabling all of my addons one at a time.
Whenever I hover over a player character, I get a system message in the chat that reads:
"No player named '(character name)' is currently playing."
It spams it about 2 times every time I hover over a player, and very quickly fills up the entire chat box.
The bug persists even when this addon is the only one enabled.
Hey all,
I hope someone could help me or point me to right direction to ask this question.
After updating my hardcore addon to latest version (11.11) all my progress i did with the previous addon version got lost.
My previous addon versio was 0.11.1 i believe. I downloaded it somewhere mid january.
I updated to the latest version 5.2.2023 from curseforge
Now the hardcore addon does not recognize any dungeons i did or levels i got before the update.
When i log in to my character i got a red text in the chat box saying:
Hardcore: Detected that the players addon active time is much lower than played time. If you have just installed the addon : consider starting a nes character. Continuing on means you risk your HC verified status.
If you have had 0.5.0 or greater installed since lvl 1, conctact a mod and record the rest of your run.
Also my hardcore addons "verify" tab says Verification status: FAIL (needs a mod)
Does this mean that you can't update this addon while your run is going on or is my installation some how corrupted and thats why i lost all my proggress?
Any help or comments about this issue are appreciated
Did the Quest "Against Lord Shalrazu" for the Questing Achievement "Death to Shalrazu" at Level 43 with my Paladin. Somehow didn't get notification that is was successful and no Badge in the HC Tab. Seems to be a bug. Addon Version 0.11.7, Era
A question. There is an "achievement" tab in the hardcore addon. I tried to ask my hardcore guildmates before but no one has an answer.
for my example. Im trying to do the "Berserker" Achievement for Warrior.
At lvl 1 there was no way for me to confirm Im doing this achievement and I now reached lvl 10 abiding to the rules. It is also not showing in the achievement tab of the character that I'm currently progressing it / did not fail yet.
Am I missing something or forgot something to do? Help would be appreciated
Edit: this has been resolved. It needs to be done before you click "start adventure"
newest update is bugged after server maint tonight...
I love this addon and all of the hard work you have put into it. The HC community would not be the same without you. I do have one idea for a feature for the addon, that I wanted to right down before I forgot it. I'm sure you have thought of similar functionality before, but I wanted to document it just in case.
I think the addon and each of the guilds could benefit from a LFG feature with the addon. Ideally, the addon could show all of the dungeons available to you, then when you select that you can filter other HC players based on their eligibility for that dungeon. It would only show other players that 1) Aren't doing the no dungeons acheivement, 2) Are in the level range for the dungeon, and 3) haven't already entered that dungeon.
A feature like this would cut down significantly on the LFG spam in guild chat and help players find groups easily. Just my $0.02.
Thanks again for all of your hard work!
Hey I downloaded this addon after I made my char will it still count if I hit 60? Like I literally made my char then downloaded addon before even killing a mob. I hope so because I’m level 20 now 😂
In reply to kronnix0101:
Yes, you should be fine. Check your verification tab. It will say PASS or FAIL.
How can I join your discord?
Death Alerts
It is my understanding that the Death/level alerts have been disabled for players in the HC Defense guild. Would it be possible to enable Alerts so those in the HC Defense guild can still see deaths/level alerts from the other guilds, but the other guilds cannot see deaths in the HC Defense guild? I understand why it was disabled but it feels very isolated to not see any alerts in the HC defense guild.
Spotted an obscure bug.
Only me online in my HC guild. If I leave the Show Offline Members box unchecked, the Accountability tab on HC app works fine. If I check Show Offline Members, my name is not shown on the Accountability tab. It shows whoever is top of the guild roster list. Changing the sorting on the guild roster also changes the Accountability tab. It shows the person at the top of the list - including those who are offline. Accountability seems to be reading whoever is top of the list, replacing my data with someone else's stats.
Was equipping some items my duo partner made and i failed the selfmade achievement.
before i equipped the linen belt al was working fine. equipped a cloak, legs and chest with out any problems
Hardcore: Equipped Linen Belt which isn't self created.
Hardcore: Failed SelfMade

Hey, if you haven't yet, make sure to ask for an appeal on the discord. 9.5 should fix this issue
In reply to yazpad:
yea i will do that if i ever hit max level.
Thx
Are there any plans at all to make a version compatible with retail?
In reply to jannikbutthurt:
No, our community is currently only active in classic. There are no plans for a retail version.
Please consider adding your addon to WowUp hub.
In reply to Erunehtar:
Where is wowup getting its addons from these days? It used to be on wowup until curseforge blocked their API for third parties.
