Title: Gryphonheart Reputation addon
Post by: Kozgugore on April 01, 2008, 03:16:31 PM
I had a couple of people pointing me out to this addon. It's basically an RP addon that allows you to create your own factions (for example the Red Blade tribe), which can be moderated by certain people who can add/remove reputation points with other people using the addon. It's mostly an addon used for the Alliance side, since they tend to have more random RP, but I don't see why we Hordies wouldn't be able to use it neither. Only for OotRB at the start, but if things go well, perhaps the entire Covenant as well.

Thing is, this requires a decent amount of people that would be willing and able to play along and download the thing. This is ain't very hard since the installation is pretty self explonary, but I know some people always have some problems using addons. So my question to you all is: What do you think of this addon and do you think it would be worth giving it a shot in OotRB? Does it add enough value to our RP? Would you be willing to install the required addons?

In any case, the addon can be found on http://www.curse.com/downloads/details/8546. Please do take a look and post your thoughts here. I personally think this could be a good way to improve (random) RP.

I got my eyes on an addon called Arcane Workshop as well (or Ephemeral if it still works), which allows players to create their own items. Though I have to do a bit more research on that. Thoughts are welcome and appreciated.

I think it can work pretty good. We just need more people as Koz said.

Gryphonheart looks great. Do note the inflation-warning.


I've a minimum on mods installed anyway, so adding this one is no problem.

(Currently installed mods: blacklist, wowecon, minimalist, playrate)

P.S. I'm still working on the new version of playrate: cross-realm rating of players sort of works now, but now fixing rating people through the target frame. I'll holler the moment it is updated.

http://wow.curse.com/downloads/details/8422 is the link to the Ephemeral addon, which allows users to create and share RP items with each other. I'm currently tinkering around with it, so if you want to help along, give it a shot.

Can't really picture the use of the ephemeral addon. What would be the added value compared to /emote ?. There is some poisonous beer-kegs examples on the website, or singing swords.. but it seems that the effort going into creating the objects, handing them to everyone and scripting them is more than the gain (if any) over emotes.

/w Kozgugore this rock I'm passing you is actually a beetle
/s Koz, me found a strange rock. Can yer look at it. Seemz ta be buzzing.
/e hands a small pebble to kozgugore.

(your response)

Preprogramming an item prevents you from having a creative response, and that takes out half the fun of rp, I think :).

Good point there. It indeed reminds me a bit of the "scripted RP" I often used to see on Alliance side when it comes to the item's usage. I wasn't planning to use the addon for this part though (even though it might be an important factor in this addon's package).

Thing is, I found myself handing out random assignments to orcs who happen to be up for it more often lately, just for random RP and fun. It's hard to just pretend things all the time when you're supposed to do a quest IC, and bringing things like heads, a recovered item you were to find in some cave or some item a fellow orc gives you as proof when you don't have anything "physical" with you. I was thinking addons like these (Ephemeral and Gryphonheart combined) might offer a new approach to random and teamwork RP (which has always been rare on Horde side, as opposed to Alliance). I'm currently still tinkering around with them though, and I'm still curious of you people's thoughts as last time we tried to get a guild to download a certain addon, it ended up in massive failure. ;>

Is this still used?
I've been thinking to get it, but didn't know if people actually used it.


I do have Gryphonheart Items tho.

Anyway, Kozzie`? Tell me in-game or here, what ever is the fastest, and I'll download it if the answer is yes.

I've been using this addon for a while,

It's quite nice if you're in a community that uses the Gryphonheart addons.
(that is inclduing the creating items and reputation addon)
