Next Tuesday, August 9th, Blizzard will be updating the game to give players who pre-ordered the Legion expansion early access to the new Demon Hunter hero class and their starter zone. Additionally, Demon Invasions, a pre-Legion event, will be available to all players. We will be sending out a guide update on Monday, August 8th, the day before this content is launched, adding in the Demon Hunter Starter Guides for all Elite Members and members who pre-ordered the standalone Legion Leveling guide. We’ll also be sending out a free in-game guide for the Demon Invasions to all members (Trial, Basic, and Elite). Look for our announcement when the update is available next week.

At last we have an update rolling out now (Version 5.0.14224) that fixes Zygor’s Gold Guide to work with Patch 7.0. For those not in the know, Patch 7.0 brought about a lot of changes, most of which we were able to get our guides updated for rather quickly, but the changes to the Auction House scanning were so extensive that it has taken us much longer than usual for us to resolve all issues. We want to apologize for the inconvenience and thank everyone for their patience.

With this new update the Gold Guide and Auction Tools have been restored to working order. However, the changes Blizzard made meant we had to change the way scans work and so they now take more time to process than in the past. It may be possible for us to speed this up with further optimization (we’re looking into this now).

We recommend only using the Scan button to update the different panels of Gold Guide chores (Farming/Gathering/Crafting/Auctions), and using Appraise All or Scan New for your general auction house buying and selling needs. The scan button scans the entire auction house, which takes longer, whereas Appraise All and Scan New only scans in the items in your inventory. You will likely see an lua error that says something like:

Message: …ace\AddOns\Blizzard_AuctionUI\Blizzard_AuctionU I.lua:733: attempt to index local ‘color’ (a nil value)
Time: 08/04/16 23:15:59
Count: 5
Stack: …ace\AddOns\Blizzard_AuctionUI\Blizzard_AuctionU I.lua:733: in function `AuctionFrameBrowse_Update’
…ace\AddOns\Blizzard_AuctionUI\Blizzard_AuctionU I.lua:260: in function <…ace\AddOns\Blizzard_AuctionUI\Blizzard_Auction UI.lua:258>”

This is actually an error with the game itself not with Zygor as you can see by the opening part of that error message. There is absolutely nothing we can do about this, Blizzard will need to patch this themselves. Luckily it doesn’t seem to affect anything so you can just close the message and ignore it for now.

Troubleshooting:
You should be able to just click Update on the Zygor Client to get this update, but sometimes it is necessart to exit the game (important) and click the wrench Repair icon on the client and select Reinstall.

If that does not work, your saved variables might need to be cleared. To do this:

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

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:

http://zygorguides.com/preorder/

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.
