HelpMePlay introduces a new button positioned next to the Heirloom journal, facilitating swift equipping of any generated heirlooms. This effectively cuts down the setup process for heirlooms by approximately 50%.
In contrast to the World Event queue button, the Character Queue button is ad-hoc, appearing conditionally to facilitate quickly queuing for a specific dungeon.
The mount subsystem is a comprehensive and intelligent solution for selecting a random mount based on the character's environment and properties. For example, a level 5 character will use the chauffered chopper mount appropriate for the player's faction, whereas a level 70 character in Northern Stranglethorn would use a Skyriding mount. However, if your character is submerged underwater, then an aquatic mount is selected.
Another characteristic of the mount subsystem is that it will try to use each mount in a category once before reusing previous mounts. (Mount categories can be seen below. Used mounts are NOT remembered between sessions!)
To use the mount subsystem, open the Mount Journal and use the Categorize Mounts button at the top of the journal. Additionally, open your keybindings, scroll down to the HelpMePlay section, and set a keybind for the "Mount Up" bind. (This binding is used for both mounting and dismounting.)
Categories:
- AQ
- Aquatic
- Flying
- Ground
- Skyriding
- Vashj'ir
- Mount Up: This keybinding is explained in the Mount Module section above.
- Delete Cursor Item: To swiftly delete an item, set a keybind, pick up the item from your inventory, and use the keybind. (WARNING: This keybind does NOT have a confirmation, so be careful!)
- Quick Quest Abandon: Abandon quests by zone or individually by setting a keybind, hovering the zone or quest in your quest log (or in the Objective Tracker), and using the keybind. (There is NOT a confirmation when abandoning individual quests, but there is confirmation when abandoning quests for an entire zone or section.)
- World Event Queue: This keybind is used to click the World Event queue button. (This button is explained in the LFG section.)
- Open Issue
- Click to quickly snatch the URL for the Github page to open an issue.
- Talent Importer
- Click to launch the Talent Importer utility, where you can save talent loadouts to quickly use on alts at the click of a button! (The button to select a random talent from your saved loadout is in the talent interface.)
- Randomize Adventurer
- If you're an altoholic and don't know what to play next, click the button and the addon will make a random selection for you. Click as many times as you need.
