The Adventure

Keep the world in front of you. The Adventure swaps the busy default HUD for a quiet one that stays out of the way until you need it. It's built from the ground up for playing WoW: Forever on a PS5 DualSense controller.

Type /adv to open the settings. Everything can be changed there with the controller (D-pad, Cross, Circle, L1/R1), the mouse, or Esc to close.

The HUD

• Your health and power sit in the gap of the game's controller-bar cross and fade when you're at full health out of combat.
• Your 8 live buttons (D-pad four on the left, face four on the right) sit beside your health, with cooldowns and a red ring when you're out of range. Hold L2 / R2 and they swap with the game's sets.
• Enemy bar at the top: name, level, Elite / Rare, health, mana / rage / energy, and a cast bar that flags INTERRUPT.
• Four HUD styles:
  • Lantern: warm glass, soft gold lines, round buttons.
  • Forever: matches the game's menus, with dark frames, gold edges, green bars with the numbers inside, and square buttons.
  • Wisp: almost nothing. Thin glowing lines and icons with no buttons.
  • Portraits: your portrait and your enemy's (moving 3D or still), framed with the bars.
• Text size and numbers on bars (always / only when hurt / never) work with every style.
• Enemy nameplates lose their health bar but keep the game's own debuffs, name and cast bar.
• XP and reputation bars, pet health and totem timers, and debuffs beside your character.

The world

• Fading chat: no chat box, just lines that float and fade on their own timers. Whispers and guild chat stay until you read them.
• Chat history window you can browse with the controller: pick a line, open the links in it, whisper or invite whoever said it.
• Minimap ring with your own sun and moon that travel across the top with the time of day, plus an Addons drawer that tidies every addon's minimap button.
• Quest journal: your quest log as a parchment book.
• Zone reveal: a glowing wisp writes the name the first time you enter a new place.
• Info cards for whatever you're looking at, and an optional kneel and rummage when you open your bags.

Feel it (any controller with rumble, Bluetooth too)

Every rumble is its own: a solid thump on a crit, a reverb on a block, a slow heartbeat at low health, three heavy swings and a shatter when mining, a lock rattling open on a chest, hoofbeats when you mount, and footsteps paced to your race. Each spell school builds while you cast and bursts on release.

Try every one in Settings > Feel, pick a group and a vibe, press Feel it, and switch off any you don't want.

DualSense light bar: your class colour, red or green for your target, orange when you're hurt, a red heartbeat when you're low.

Touchpad: click its left, middle or right for the quest journal, chat or the world map. Hold the middle for a chat channel wheel, slide down for the chat history; hold the left for a weather wheel.

The free DualSense helper (optional)

A small Windows program unlocks what an addon can't reach by itself, with the DualSense on a USB cable:

• HD vibration textures through the DualSense's haptics, including rain, wind and storms you can feel.
• Talk to type with the PS5 mic button: click to open chat, hold to speak, let go and it's typed. Speech is turned into text on your own PC; nothing is sent anywhere.
• The touchpad as a mouse in menus: the map, bags, trade and the addon's windows.
• The adaptive trigger and bobber feel while fishing.

Download the helper (with an installer that also puts this addon in place): https://github.com/nemeancreates/the-adventure-dualsense-helper/releases

The helper reads a tiny strip of squares the addon draws in the corner of the screen, so play in windowed or borderless window mode. It only presses keys for things you ask for (the chat channel you pick, the words you speak). It never casts, attacks or hooks a fish for you.

Feedback and bugs: use the comments or Issues here. Type /adv status in game and include what it prints, which helps a lot.
