MMORPG in general and World of Warcraft in particular occupy one of the first places in terms of the number of people playing them. The gameplay in the basic version of the game can be greatly facilitated and improved by installing additional software. In this article, we will look at several ways how to install add-ons for VoB (3.3.5a and other, later patches).
What are addons
For beginners, it may not seem quite clear what add-ons are and what they are for. Because of this, very often during the game they have certain difficulties. Since installing add-ons for VoB is not such a difficult task, we will try to highlight a number of points related to them, as well as recall the most popular of them.
So, for starters, let's figure out what an addon is. Firstly, this concept covers those programs that themselves do not affect the game, but for the better they change some aspects related to graphics, the display of teams, items, and much more. Typically, the size or weight of add-ons is very small, so they have little effect on computer performance.
What add-ons for WWII will be useful
Let's look at specific examples of several programs, since it does not make sense to install add-ons on the BBB blindly, not knowing their specific purpose.
So, any player who wants to make the game interface more convenient to understand should install the following add-ons:
- affecting the display of quests on the map, which allows you to pump your character faster (Carbonite and Quest Helper);
- displaying information about the location of ore, herbs, fish, treasures and other items in a specific territory necessary for the character to master professions (Gatherer, Cromulent and Gathermate DataBase);
- changing the display on the screen of bags, bank cells, cards, panels and much more, which will improve the gameplay (Bagnon, Mapster, SexyMap, XLoot);
- allowing you to track the duration of the effects superimposed on the characters in the form of a scale, aura (ForteXorcist, VuhDo and others).
This list can be continued indefinitely, since today there are several hundred thousand add-ons that can be useful for a player in the WWII. Before you learn how to install add-ons for VoB (4.3.4 or any other modification), you should find out which of them are the most popular.
The best add-ons for combat in PvP and PvE modes
The most downloaded add-ons for WWII are considered to be those that help to use combat skills more effectively and control the course of battle in dungeons or on battlefields. Since installing add-ons for VoB (5.4 and other versions of the game) that affect the success of the game process is very useful, let's try to figure out which ones to download first.
For all characters without exception (tanks, heals and fighters) you will need Deadly Boss Mods (DBM), with which you can go through dungeons and raids without loss, since the main function of this addon is to display information about the abilities used by bosses.
Sound and visual effects that appear during the installation, help players to notice a killer puddle in time or leave the place where a powerful blow of the boss will be sent in a few seconds.
Another add-on for gamers that is quite popular with gamers is ForteXorcist. Most of all, those who play the warlock like to install it, since the program facilitates the management of their character, and also conveniently displays the duration of the spells.
Omen Threat Meter will be very useful for tankers and healers, since it can be used to track which player the boss has focused his attention on. VuhDo is an addon that is most often installed by healers, since with it you can monitor the status of all raid participants and restore their health on time.
And finally, the most important add-on is Recount, by setting which you can track everything: damage caused by each player, created threat, received mana, rage or power of runes. This add-on helps to analyze the correlation of the character’s theoretical abilities with the actual result produced by him, as well as to choose more “killer” talents and characters.
Before installing add-ons for VoB from this list, you should carefully study their features, as well as decide which ones will be more useful to a particular player. Many add-ons are similar in functions, so it makes sense to install only one of them so as not to overload the game process with unnecessary information.
Add-ons for the garrison: a list of the best
The latest addition to WoW Warlords of Draenor was recently launched. The garrisons that appeared in this patch require some effort from the players. Of course, the add-on developers paid attention to this location by creating some very useful programs. Garrison Mission Manager Addon is very useful, which will help you without any hesitation to choose a group of associates to perform tasks, already found a lot of fans among the faithful.
The Master Plan is endowed with similar functions. With the help of another addon called Broker Garrison, you can not only track all the tasks performed in the garrison, but also find out how many resources and apexis crystals any character in the game account has.
What add-ons are suitable for different versions of WWII
Most players doubt whether all add-ons are compatible with the version of the game that they have installed. Firstly, it is worth noting right away that you should not rely on the case in this matter, but choose the appropriate add-on. What does this mean? Before installing add-ons for VoB 5.4.2, for example, it is important to select them from among those that contain this particular service pack. With character development, outdated software can be updated by installing new versions.
How to install add-ons for VoB
Let's move on to the main thing - the process of installing the addon on a computer. To do this, select the appropriate program and make sure that its version matches the modification of the existing game. In most cases, add-ons are downloaded as a Zip folder. It is necessary to extract all the files for a reason, but to the folder with add-ons, which can be found along the path WoW \ Interface \ Addons. By installing (unpacking) all the downloaded add-ons in this folder, you can launch the game and enjoy new features and effects. There are also special services that will automatically install add-ons in the desired folder: Curse Client and others.
If the add-ons for some reason do not work, then you should look at the "Modifications" section in the game and check the boxes next to the necessary programs. After that, you may need to restart the game. In the same section, you can configure the activity of the addon on different characters.
