With the upcoming “World of Warcraft: Legion” expansion releasing next month many customers have been asking us when there will be new Zygor Guides products available for Legion. Rest assured, our team has been hard at work since the start of beta getting everything ready for the August 30th release.

We’ve concentrated our effort on making the guides as high quality as possible and we think you’ll really be impressed with what we have in store. Our Leveling Guide in particular will be packed with content on Day One including Demon Hunter starter guides, Artifact and Class Hall quests for all classes, complete 100-110 walkthroughs for all the new zones, and more. Of course, all of our guides will be updated with new content for this expansion and you can read more about our planned/expected updates over here:

Two Ways To Be Legion Ready:
If you’re already a Zygor Elite member you don’t have to pay anything extra. Just keep an active subscription when Legion launches next month and you’ll get all of the Legion updates at no additional cost. However, if you do not have an Elite account yet, we recommend the 6 month Elite option which will allow you to start enjoying all of our existing content immediately, then, when Legion comes out, you’ll just run the download client,  receive the Legion updates for ALL of our guides, and continue using them through to next year.

OR

If you are a legacy customer who purchased at least one standalone guide before December 10th, 2015 you’ll have the option to add the new Legion content to your account using the old one time fee upgrade model. You can now purchase the upgrades using the Guide Manager inside the Members Area. However, if you want to cut the cost, you can also sign up for Zygor Elite at our special Loyalty Rate of only $4.99 a month which will grant you access to every guide you don’t already own and all the Legion upgrades for these products as well. Please note that the Loyalty Price offer will be ending on September 30th. This means that if you want to lock in these savings you’ll want to upgrade to Elite before the end of September.

The pre-patch for the upcoming Legion expansion is now live for all regions and as to be expected with a patch of this size there are a lot of changes that may be affecting our guide addon.

If you’re having problems with your Zygor addon it’s a good idea to first disable any other third party addons you may be running to make sure the issue isn’t with one of those, or a conflict between those.

We have released several updates since the patch, some of which require a full reinstallation rather than your basic update. To make sure you have the latest version of the guide, and that it is installed properly, exit the game (important) and click the wrench Repair icon on the client and select Reinstall.

If all else fails you can try a complete Zygor addon wipe. Note this will reset all your Zygor addon settings.
1. exit WoW
2. go to the WoW/Interface/Addons folder and delete the ZygorGuidesViewer folder
3. go to the WoW/WTF/Account/<accountname>/SavedVariables folder and delete the Zygor files in there
4. run the installer client and install a fresh copy of the guides
5. go back in game and see if that fixed it

All of the following problems should be resolvable by correctly updating to the latest version:

Resolved Issues:
– ParseHeader error
– Green mini-map icon glitch
– Target NPC raidmarking temporarily disabled due to annoying built-in script warnings.
– Garrison functions – garri guide loading issue
– Internal tests (ZGV.ERROR)
– Get_recipe issue
– Mailtools mi_count issue
– Pandaren starter guides bug
– Gear score editables missing
– Disabled broken Flash minimap icon functions
– Fix for profession guides macro crash.
– Fix for profession guides not detecting skills properly.
– Fix: Do Not Replace heirlooms tooltip has been clarified. New options added to specify what heirlooms to replace (with or without bonus xp).
– Fix: Points of Interest hiding and tooltips
– Issues with class quests in the starter guides

Known Issues We’re Working On:
The Gold Guide and Auction Tools have been restored as of Version 5.0.14224. For more information see: http://zygorguides.com/blog/zygors-gold-guide-and-auction-tools-restored/

The Gear Finder is currently not suggesting all the items it should be.

Issues in the Gnome starter guides for the newly added Gnome Hunters.

Issues in the Death Knight starter guide.

NOTE: EU game users should NOT download this update, as your server won’t have the patch until tomorrow and this new update will break the guides. If you accidentally got updated we have since released another update (Ver. 5.0.14112) that should allow you to use the guides again until the patch tomorrow).

The pre-patch for Legion is live and we have just pushed an update for this new release.

Key highlights of the guide update:
* Zygor Guides Viewer updated to be compatible with Patch 7.0
* Updated Talents and Gear Scoring
* Gold Guide rebuilt for Patch 7.0. This is mostly an improvement to the back end, but one noticeable change is the removal of Gold Runs which is no longer a viable gold earning option. This included Dailies Runs, Transmog Runs, and Tilling. While Dailies and Tilling are phased out permanently, Transmogs will be reincorporated into the Auctions section in a later release.

Troubleshooting:

If you encounter a “Parseheader error” please exit the game, launch the Zygor Guides client, click the wrench icon to open up the Repair options, and select Reinstall.

Earlier this year we introduced the User Feedback section and already we’ve tackled some of the top submissions including the request to bring back guides for The Elder Scrolls Online.

Today we are pleased to announce another one of the top suggestions has been made to the guides. Beginning with the Draenor expansion we started adding more precise walking directions to direct players around the game world, which was especially helpful for intricate, hard to reach places. However, once players achieved the Draenor Pathfinder achievement and could fly in Draenor these steps were no longer required.

One of the most requested changes was to make the guides detect when a character could fly directly to the destination rather than forcing them to pass over the detailed walking directions first. We are pleased to announce that as of Version 14036, all guides have been updated to reflect this change.

Now, if you are a flyer, the guide will direct you in a straight beeline to the destination, with the exception of non-optional paths that must be crossed, or zone to zone travel (if you have prefer flying enabled).

Remember that your User Feedback votes reset at the start of each month so if you haven’t seen your favorite submission choosen for development be sure to revote. Note that you must be a Zygor Elite member in order to vote.

The first ever Zygor Elite contest has ended and we’re pleased to announce the following winners:

Grand Prize Winner: cturnertech
