Bad Gear Suggestions

[rossasbill]

and yet another. This is pretty much worthless. Ive got to look at every single thing i pick up.

[rossasbill]

heres another

[boyakka]

Jesus, why didnt I just read this thread before I bought the guide o.o
Experience same thing as all you other, bought it so I can play more effecient when I have time to play.
Looks like I have to look through all dungeons and see what I need and what will be the best one to run. -.-

Gear guide suggesting outdated gear and at times no gear suggestions at all.

Posting pics of gear guide suggesting lvl 463 items to replace my 588+ items.

Guide wants to replace Thunderbolt Tanned Helm (epic ilvl 630, upgraded from rare ilvl 610) to Fallout-Filtering Hood (ilvl 463).

Also wants to replace Talador Sentinel Boots (epic ilvl 588, upgraded from normal ilvl 558) to Airstream Treads (ilvl 463

Also, note that many of the slots do not provide any upgrades at all even though my gear is not 630 in most cases.

Thank you.

I purchased this guide the day that it was first available and it has been nothing but a hassle ever since. We as customers, should not be forced to do the work of the programmers for a product that we paid for.

I have honestly completely written this guide off at this point and just use the Pawn addon for all of my gear suggestions.

I believe a full refund and discontinuation of the product is justified. It simply does not work.

We are still working on this and getting the Gear Finder to work properly. The gear suggestions for items you find and are in your bag should be working a lot better.

[beefcake561]

"A lot better" is not acceptable for a product that should be working properly.

My point still stands that this has been a well known on going issue since the product was first released. From a customer's standpoint you basically have two options. Get it working as advertised or realize that it is a failed project and offer refunds.

I'm sorry if this comes off as a bit aggressive but I am beyond frustrated with the length of time that this has been going on.

I've recently gone to Northrend on a troll druid. She's guardian spec and the system has been suggesting intellect gear as upgrades.

[ZG Support 1]

When I said a lot better what I meant was that the weights we are using for the gear suggestions are now more in line with what you'd see at Noxxic or AskMrRobot. A lot more emphasis on the primary stat and less on the secondary stats. Before there wasn't a big difference in the stat weights between primary and secondary stats so this would often lead people to think it was a bad suggestion when it was actually accurate according to our stat weights. With the new stat weights this confusion should be pretty much eliminated. The new stat weights should also fix 95% of what people had thought were bad suggestions. If there are still bad suggestions then we will have to find what's causing that and get it fixed.

If you see any bad suggestions please take the following steps to give us the most information possible to help us find any problems and get them fixed.

1. Click on the gear icon on the gear suggestion window.
2. On the window that opens click the Addons tab at the top and then click the words Zygor Guides Viewer on the left.
3. Click on the "Create a bug report" button.
4. A new window opens up, ignore the areas to type in and click the View button in the bottom left.
5. Now click somewhere inside the new window that opens to get the cursor in there and then press Ctrl + A to highlight all the text, then press Ctrl + C to copy all of the text to the clipboard. On a Mac this should be Command + X to select all and Command + C to copy it to the clipboard.

Once you do that then please come here and create a reply to this thread, then press Ctrl + V to paste the clipboard into your post (for Mac this should be Command +V). If you get an error about the post being too large you can delete some of the text near the bottom that has a timestamp on it until you're able to post the message. An alternative would be to paste the bug report into a text file and then attach that text file to the post so you don't have to play games with the character limits.

I found a bad gear suggestion for a Shadow Priest. The gear guide wants me to keep Agility rather than Intellect. The main problem with these items is that Haste is indeed preferable to Multistrike, but the secondary effects make that consideration invalid.

[ZG Support 1]

The problem here is that it's pretty much impossible to make any kind of score for the effects on trinkets. I don't know of any addon that tries to give any kind of score to an equip or use effect on trinkets and we are no exception. The gear suggestions will only base the recommendations on the stats on an trinket.

Since new patch today, I'm getting suggestions to put AGI gear on my Elemental Shaman, and INT gear on my Enhancement Shaman.

Looks like it's having a problem with getting a score for some of your items and that's why it's got the bad suggestions. The dev team do know about some of this but these are a little different.

[rossasbill]

replace a 630 with a 569 lol

Can you please use the steps in the first post to give us a bug report for this bad suggestion.
