Thanks to 720Zone for the great in-depth review!
- Tracks and Warns you about Horde/Alliance NPC's that involuntary flag you for PvP Combat
- Warns Low Level Bank Alts against all currently known Grief Methods in Major Cities
- Alerts are fully automated and will disappear automatically after 7 seconds and do not require you to click "X"
- Alerts are disabled while flying (during Taxi) since there is no need on Hardcore
- Shows you In-game Notifications about current & relevant Hardcore News, Grief-Tactics, Names of confirmed Griefers and even warns you about expected Server outages and lag.
- Acoustic Alerts are throttled to prevent annoying Spam and cannot occur more than once every 60 Seconds, but the visual Alert Frame will always trigger without any throttle just in case to keep you safe
- Per Character Profile Data allows individual Tracking Settings that vary by Character level range and Faction
- Will always display Alerts even during combat - Similar addons don't actually do this, because they create a SecureActionButton-Frame, wich cannot be done during Combat. This is extremely bad in HC because you are constantly grinding Mobs & doing stuff. UnitScan Hardcore will instead dynamically create a Secure- or NonSecure Frame depending on whether the player is in combat or not and thus will always reliably show rare/elite alerts
- Performs better and reduces FPS lag - Other Addons were not made to track a huge amount of Units with a Hardcore game mode in mind and therefore will result in dropped FPS for some people on slower/dated machines. Unitscan Hardcore diminishes Performance Impact by reducing the API function call. Tracked Units will still be detected instantaneous, but performance impact is lessened greatly
- Alert Frames can be moved by holding CTRL and dragging the Alert with the mouse - needs to be done in- & out of combat once.
