Today we’re introducing a small but useful new feature to the Zygor Guides addon. Throughout your time using our guides you will encounter steps that require you to use items or spells to complete goals. While the game does provide clickable buttons for you to use, they are confined to the quest tracker, which isn’t always convenient to use.
To aid in this we made it so our Guide Viewer also showed these as buttons directly in the step, but even that option had some limitations, such as the buttons being rather small and hard to click.
That’s why we’re introducing a new feature called Zygor Action Buttons. This is a separate component that will display up to 5 spells in a custom hotbar. By default, this hotbar will display all the time, but you can set it to only show when needed in the Options. You can move this hotbar anywhere on the screen, or if you prefer, you can drag the action buttons out of the bar and move them directly to the games default action bar. Best of all, you can setup keybindings so that it’s even easier to quickly use the action buttons you need to use when playing through guides.
Note that this only displays items and spells needed for quests, and not general combat spells.
Of course, this feature is completely optional and if you’d rather stick with the older method you can disable it. To configure the settings of this feature check under Options \ Guide Viewer. To setup the keybindings g under Key Bindings \ Zygor Guides Viewer. You can download this feature as part of update Ver. 17044.
And here I thought I was the oldest gal at 57. Glad to see all of you. Just wish I could get my 63 yr old spouse to play with me. 🙂
I’m 66 and I have played wow since it first came out. I played EQ before that when it first came out.
i’m 74+ and I have been playing for 10+ years, since I retired. Love zygor guides.
I’m 62, been playing for years, and always thought I was the oldest in WoW! I feel like a kid again!
I am 66 and I always thought I was oldest. Trying to play in Dg and raids with these young folks I find myself always trailing everyone. If I didn’t have zygor to help I would not know what to do. I just wish in dg that zygor would skip to next steps auto. I catch myself trying to keep up and then realize I did not update the dg guide to next step all the time.
Yes, especially in the ESO guide because you have to click the period key to release the curser…precious seconds when in combat.
You’re definitely not the oldest. I’m 71! Been playing WoW for 13 years.
Have been using Zygor guides for years, looking forward to trying this out. I was totally shocked to see replies from people around my age (I’m 66) that play. Here all this time I thought I was the only older person that plays, you folks made my day. 🙂
Love it! I’m 67 and been playing for years also!
I am 71 too surprised to hear there are others out there.
Thanks Zygor for the buttons, they shold make life easier, and thanks every one who has posted, making me feel like a youngester playing WoW, i’m only 54…..
This looks as though it will be pretty useful!! I look forward to trying it. Perhaps I might survive longer! As I am an old lady of 70 years I am not used to fighting, so sometimes I might use the wrong spell.
Thank you again, Zygor.
A very happy Julie
Hi Julie, You are not the only one who needs this type of assistance. At 66, my sister(73) and I are really looking forward to this new feature as we Battle to save Azeroth. Thanks Zygor
At 63, I agree that these buttons will be totally useful. Glad to see other women near my age playing the game.
Love it! I’m 67 and been playing for years also!
