KINDRED – Buff Reactions

A helpful buff deserves a thank-you!

KINDRED – Buff Reactions brings a little gratitude to World of Warcraft: Forever. It detects buffs received from other players—including players outside your group—and can automatically send a personalized text emote naming the player and the buff.

Make every reaction your own:

• Automatic or manual mode: thank players automatically or approve each reaction with a click.

• 22 reaction styles with editable messages.

• Adjustable delays, cooldowns, and reaction probability to prevent repetitive messages.

• Buff and player filters, including party, raid, and guild exclusions.

• Four visual themes: Alliance Royal, Horde Warbound, Moonlit Elven, and Gothic Alchemy.

• Built-in diagnostics to help troubleshoot and report issues.

KINDRED detects buffs without relying on the combat log and checks Blizzard’s chat restrictions before sending a reaction. Reactions are custom EMOTE chat messages; they do not trigger native character animations or voice lines.

KINDRED is currently in beta and actively being improved. We’re continuing to refine compatibility, buff detection, and the overall experience. Your feedback, suggestions, and bug reports help shape future updates.

When reporting an issue, please include your addon version, game client version, and the report from the Diagnostics page.
