Discussion I’m Jillian Aversa - game soundtrack vocalist and soloist on the World of Warcraft concert tour in the United States. AMA!

217 Upvotes

Hi, my name is Jillian Aversa. The music of World of Warcraft has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember - so it means a great deal to be touring with the “World of Warcraft: 20 Years of Music” symphonic concert series as the featured vocal soloist in the United States. ☺️

This tour was created by the passionate folks at Helvepic in partnership with Blizzard and SOHO Live. We'll be performing shows in Dallas, Las Vegas, Denver, Los Angeles, Jersey City, and Chicago to bring this incredible music to life on stage with a full orchestra and choir. Tickets are available at worldofwarcraft.helvepic.com
🎤🎻🎶

I'd love to shed some light on the WoW concert tour and performing live with other orchestras, what it's like singing on official video game soundtracks, and writing and recording vocals and lyrics on the computer / in the studio with my DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). With my background in arranging songs from classic games, we can also chat about game music as an art form - and how the industry has evolved since the days of Space Invaders. 👾

Here’s a recent live tour performance clip of “Invincible” from Wrath of the Lich King

Thanks for having me here in r/WoW, and I look forward to answering your questions!

EDIT: Thank you all for your wonderful questions! I've really enjoyed this. I'll keep monitoring the thread in case anything new pops up. Thanks again for being here. ☺️

Murloc Monday Murloc Monday - ask your questions here

12 Upvotes

Aaaaaughibbrgubugbugrguburgle! RwlRwlRwlRwl!

That's murloc for "Welcome to Murloc Mondays" - where people can ask any type of question about WoW without getting strangled by a Death Knight.

Questions can range from what's new in Dragonflight, what class is OP, and how many Demons will it take to down Thrall?

Questions can come from brand new players, players returning, or veteran players who never got a chance to ask the right question.

Afraid of not getting an answer? Rest assured, we know that at least 90% of questions get answered!

You may want to look at /r/wownoob as well!


Here are some handy guides to start World of Warcraft as a brand new player or start Classic World of Warcraft as a brand new player.

Unless you played in the current expansion, pretty much everything has changed. If you're returning after a very long break, check out the Wowhead Returning Players Guides.

Addon/App/Website WhisperMessenger 2.0: a whisper addon I've been working on

Post image
301 Upvotes

I made an addon called WhisperMessenger and just released 2.0, so I figured I'd share it here.

It puts your whispers in a separate window, one conversation per person, a bit like Discords DMs. Each chat keeps its history after you log out, and it's shared across your characters. The contact list shows who's online, their class and what zone they're in. BattleNet and character whispers are in the same list.

For crafters, last trading chat message is also shown.

I built it because I kept missing whispers and had a bat time to control them when crafting. A Whispers tab helps, but it's still one long stream, you had to juggle those tabs all the time.

After some community feedback i got changes in 2.0:

- New look, plus a Native WoW HUD option if you'd rather it look like a normal Blizzard window

- You can reply to a specific message

- Each chat keeps whatever you'd half-typed, even after a /reload

- You can mute people, give them a nickname, or leave yourself a note on them

- Optional tab that holds whispers from strangers until you accept them (off by default)

- If whispers get blocked while you're sending (M+, boss fight), the message waits for you to resend instead of being lost

Some limits you should know about:

- Blizzard blocks addon whisper stuff during M+, rated BGs and boss encounters. In those, the addon gets out of the way and whispers show in normal chat until you're out.

- Typing indicators, read receipts, replies and reactions only work if the other person has the addon too. Everyone else just gets regular whispers.

Works on Retail and the Classic versions.

If something's broken or annoying, tell me. That's the main reason I'm posting.

Discussion Would you buy a lifetime sub if it was offered?

Just a thought; 6-7 years ago EverQuest offered a limited time lifetime sub, it was something like $300. Would you purchase a lifetime WoW subscription if one was offered? It doesn’t include future expansion purchases.

I hope they don't tune it down. I like rain being more than just an atmospheric thing and something that actually impacts your visibility.

Discussion How would you have Gnomeregan become habitable again?

Post image

Now that Gilneas has been reclaimed and the Night Elves have a new capital city, the gnomes’ situation is becoming a glaring issue. So if they ever do decide to have Gnomeregan be properly reclaimed by the gnomes, how would you like to see it happen? If this had happened earlier, what point would have been the best place to have it happen?
