WoW Classic Addons: Azeroth Auto Pilot

Recommended Posts

CloZYIw.jpg

Azeroth Auto Pilot is an interesting addon for speed leveling in WoW Classic and in this spotlight, we're taking a closer look what it does.

Azeroth Auto Pilot

Leveling in Classic will take a long time and some players will prefer to reach the cap as fast as possible and this addon is here to help with just that.

Azeroth Auto Pilot shows creature spawns on the map.

Azeroth Auto Pilot will save your time, telling you where to go (arrow), what to do (quest objectives). On top of that, it will automatically take flight paths, talk to NPCs, auto-accept and turn in quests. Hotkeys or macros can be used for quest items.

You can adjust it to your liking by typing /aap in the chat or through Interface -> Addons.

The addon is still in development and at the time of writing, it supports the following:

Alliance Leveling

  • Nigh Elf: Level 1-20
  • Dwarf/Gnome: Level 1-20
  • Human: Level 1-20

Horde Leveling

  • Undead: Level 1-32
  • Tauren: Level 1-32
  • Orc/Troll: Level 1-32

Feel free to test it out in the next Stress Test or on Closed Beta and let us know how it went in the comments!

Been using it so far and it is pretty sweet, still, one concern is that if everyone is using it, we'll all be funneled into the same areas, causing a horrible experience with spawn times. So beware of following the crowd :)

So much for wanting the classic experience.

Our aim with these spotlights is to highlight interesting Classic Addons. We realize they may ruin the "Classic experience" for someone, but at the end of the day, nobody's forcing you to use any addons and you can play the game however you want.

Ultimately it comes down to what you want your classic experience to be:

1) Go in blind as if it was a new game just coming out, which it very well might be for most of the players?

Or..

2) Use all the knowledge and experience gained on these past 15 years to utterly annihilate classic, making it more of a speed running game than an exploration one.

Both options will have adepts, that's one of the great things with Classic, it can suit a ton of playstyles :) now obviously we at Icy Veins write guides, and as such, we are focused on giving you all the info possible, which will suit 2) way, way more than 1) players.

Part of the 15 years of experience is that the leveling race can be fatal.

I hope people learned from other's mistake.

Im glad this add on has been updated for classic! I remember spending a lot of time on wowhead getting coordinates to find the specific zone/camp/location to kill a specific mob.

Well, for some classic might be more about simply doing pre-Cata content (rather than experiencing all of the old mechanics), which is no longer available in current WoW.

Personally, I use aap for alt leveling. Currently, I’m using it on retail to speed level up my Nightbourn elf for the heritage gear. I’ve actually discovered some quest lines that I’ve not done on previous toons! Who knew? ? So it’s no disrespect for purist toons who want to roam the world for adventure blind. I get it and also plan to go vanilla without leveling guide with my first virgin Classic toon. It is all about the adventure! ?

Will this addon help players speed-level professions.  Because if it does, that means those of us playing without the addon are going to be way at the end of the line in maxing their professions, which is going to impact our ability to sell leather, ore, bags, etc., and other items on the AH.  And that, in turn, will impact when we'll have enough money to purchase a mount, etc.

And even if the addon doesn't directly support leveling professions, there's an indirect impact in that now we'll see level 60s running all over the place in the different areas competing for the same leather, ore, etc., that the lower levels are trying to obtain.

I wish Blizzard would restrict addons for Classic WoW to those that were available back in 2004/5, and restrict this addon to the current version of WoW.

Ugh.

So literally an addon that plays the game for you. For those players that want the "experience" of not doing the work that was Vanilla.

There's a difference between an addon and a down right cheat. 

For example, GTFO alerts you when you are standing in bad. It doesn't literally take your character and MOVE IT to a safer place.   Pet Journal Enhanced gives you more detailed info to help pick a better pet battle team - but it doesn't pick the best team for you and then perform the battle with the best spells.  Healbot lets you set up your spells so you can click a button to heal rather than move all over a toolbar, thus saving time - but it doesn't click itself. 

The bad-terrible-horrible thing about this "addon"  is that it will affect the experience of purists who are playing classic for the CLASSIC experience. It takes away the level playing field that is a major draw for a lot of people who want to really experience or re-live what Vanilla was like.

      You can customize your Human and Worgen forms separately in Cataclysm Classic.
      Cataclysm Classic comes with a neat quality of life update which hasn't been included in the game when the expansion originally launched. MrGM discovered you can customize your Worgen and Human forms separately.

      Today's SoD hotfixes bring Hunter and Mage changes, as well as Arathi Basin reputation gear adjustments, and a Wrath Classic fix for certain DoTs affecting players.

      WoW Classic: Season of Discovery
      Class restrictions on Arathi Basin reputation armor rewards have been lifted on all Classic Era and Season of Discovery realms. Fixed a bug causing Blood for the Blood Loa stacks to not be exchanged when the battle is not active. Hunter Steady Shot damage increased to 75% weapon damage (was 60%). Rune of the Trapper icon should no longer be a question mark. Mage Living Flame movement speed adjusted to 86% of normal player movement speed (was 100%). Living Flame duration reduced 10 seconds (was 20 seconds) Living Flame cooldown reduced to 30 seconds (was 60 seconds). Wrath of the Lich King Classic
      Fixed an issue with Piercing Shots, Deep Wounds, and Ignite that causes them to sometimes do too much damage to players.

      Four years ago, Blizzard decided to remove the word "b****" along with its audio sound from the dialogue between Garrosh and Sylvanas. But now, it's made a comeback in Cataclysm Classic!

      The initial decision to cut the word came after Steve Dansuer, the then Lead Narrative Designer, received feedback from a team member who overheard the voice line while playing the game with his child.
      Steve agreed that removing the word didn't detract from Garrosh's message and went ahead with the edit.
      Placeholder for tweet 1298728022653075456 Now, with Cataclysm Classic, players have noticed the line's return, which isn't surprising since it was originally included in Cataclysm. You can check out the entire dialogue, thanks to N_Tys26.
      Placeholder for tweet 1766198235700580807 It remains to be seen whether Blizzard will decide to remove the line once more. Given WoW's ESRB rating of "T" for Teen, what are your thoughts on this? Share your opinions in the comments below.

      Blizzard will be removing the class requirements from Arathi basic reputation rewards. The change is coming in the next few days and will affect both Season of Discovery and Classic Era. 
      Arathi Basin Sets (Source)
      Greetings,
      We’ve seen a lot of feedback and comments recently on the Arathi Basin reputation rewards, and we wanted to let you know about a change that is coming sometime within the next few days to live realms via hotfix.
      We are going to go ahead and remove the class restrictions from Arathi Basin reputation reward 3-piece armor sets. We’ve read your feedback around this issue and we largely agree that these restrictions are fairly arbitrary and felt like this would be a good change for the game overall to allow for a bit more flexibility in PvP gearing.
      We also wanted to point out that this adjustment will also extend to WoW Classic Era realms. In discussing whether we should keep this as a Season-only change or extend it to Era, we felt that this would be strictly additive to the experience of those playing on Era realms as well.
      We appreciate the feedback we’ve received on this issue so far. Thank you and have a great weekend!
