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
- A countdown for every graveyard, yours and the enemy's: YOU is where you would go, OURS and THEIRS the rest.
~marks an estimate. - 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.
- Resurrection alert: your health is low and your wave is a few seconds away, so dying now costs almost nothing. Set the thresholds in the settings.
🏳️ Captures and win prediction
- Every base assault with its countdown, timed holds and resets.
- Who wins at the current pace, when, and by how much; what changes if the defenders hold; how many bases the trailing team needs.
- 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.
- 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.
- Turn it on in every battleground or only rated ones, and per size: 10v10, 15v15, epic.
- Themes: Highground, Ember or Parchment (
/hgbg theme NAME).
