Killlist

A quiet open-world PvP log: who you killed, who killed you, and one click to act on it.

Killlist records your PvP kills and deaths, keeps a personal killlist ("kill on sight"), shares kills, deaths and help calls with your guild or with friends outside the guild, and marks listed players on nameplates and tooltips.

Runs on WoW Forever, Classic Era, TBC Anniversary, Wrath, Mists and Retail from one package.

Quiet by default

Out of the box Killlist does not show popups or play sounds, except when someone calls for help:

You can change each of these in Settings.

The log

/kl or the minimap button opens the log. It shows your kills, your deaths and your group's events, newest first.

• Filters: All · Kills · Deaths · Group. You can search by name, guild or zone.
• Columns: time, name (in class color, with a skull if the player is on your killlist), level, guild, zone, your kills/deaths against that player.
• Hover a row to see the details: race, position, how the event was detected, your history with that player, and your note.
• Right-click a row for its actions: add to or remove from the killlist, edit the note, share, whisper, waypoint, call help, delete the entry.
• Double-click a row to add the player to the killlist, or to remove them.
• The action bar below the list works on the selected row. Call help always works.

Chat lines contain clickable links ([+List], [Call help], [Waypoint], [I'm coming]), so in most cases you don't need to open the window.

Killlist

You can add players from the log, from a chat link, with Add target, or with /kl add Name: note. Players on your killlist:

• get a skull on their nameplate and a line in their tooltip,
• are shared with your guild and share friends (they can turn this off),
• show your kill/death history against them and your note.

Sharing: guild and friends

Killlist sends its data over the hidden addon channel. Players without Killlist don't see anything.

• Guild: works on its own once both of you have Killlist.
• Share friends (players outside your guild, e.g. a duo partner): add each other on the Friends tab. Requirements:
  • both of you have Killlist and have added each other,
  • you are the same faction (whispers can't cross factions),
  • Killlist also adds share friends to your WoW friend list. This shows Killlist when they are online, so it doesn't whisper players who are offline.
• Catch-up sync: when a share friend logs in, you each receive the events you missed. Synced events go into the log without alerts.
• If someone adds you who isn't on your list, you get a single [Accept] link.

Help calls

Call help (log, death line, /kl help) sends your zone, your position and your recent attackers to your guild and share friends. When others accept, you get "X is coming to help!". Accepting a help call sets a waypoint (TomTom, or the built-in map pin) and tells the caller you are coming.

You can also send help calls to Local Defense (a public channel, off by default). WoW only allows this after a click, so automatic help calls on death go to your guild and share friends only.

Commands

On WoW Forever, character names have a first and a last name. Put a colon before the note: /kl add Thrall Hammer: camps the bridge.

How detection works

On Forever, Blizzard doesn't let addons read the combat log, and some data is hidden during combat. Killlist works around this by tracking hostile players on nameplates, target and focus. A kill counts when an enemy you fought dies and the game confirms it with an honor kill or the PvP kill counter. The log marks entries that were only inferred with ~. Run /kl status to see which methods your client supports.
