  • #1874

    I love this add-on but one thing I realize that bugs me about it is the tooltip from the minimap icon. It's the only tooltip that does not dissapear instantly after I move my cursor across the icon and also its the only menu tooltip that will stay open while my curor is being hovered over the tooltip. This usually becomes a pain when you're not trying to bring the tooltip up and the info will get in the way of other icons or the minimap itself. Other then this I would highly recommend every one to get Archy.

  • #1873

    Lots of pretty graphs and things, but utlimatly useless.  

    The fact that it hides digsites on the main map, and expects you to just know where they are by description makes the whole thing useless.  

  • #1872

    Hello,

    I have always enjoyed this addon, will it be updated?  I sure hope so as I keep getting many errors so for now I keep it off.

    Thanks!

    Mine is working just fine but I am getting an error when I'm in my garrison mines 

    EDIT: removed ... I saw the post errors on wowace so did that :)

    Far to much information, massive overload and on top of this no HUD and no artifakt pins are shown on the minimap.

  • #1868

    I can not seem to get any windows to show up.  It seems to be in stealth mode even when it is enabled as "show".  There is nothing I can do to fix this problem.  I have been on your bug site and there are no answers to questions 1+ month old so I figured I would ask the community.  

    Once again, archy windows will NOT open.  Even I press "show" it still is in stealth mode.  

  • #1867

    If I'm on (in this case) the Tol'vir archaeology tab while opening Fragment Crates the addon throws me on the Ogre tab. During Mists of Pandaria it changed to the Mogu tab, so it probably changes to the last race tab available. Disabling the addon stops this behaviour.

  • #1866

    dig sites dont seem to ever change unless you complete them, so if you blacklist a certain dig site does that site never spawn or does it just spawn without notice?

    im trying to find orc sites in the outlands and all im getting is draenei sites.

  • #1864

    is there any way to see what you have completed so you know how much you need to finsh archaeology?

  • #1863

    Yep, another here. It started when I entered the mine in my garrison.

  • #1861

    Hi, Torhal & team

    I've noticed since Warlords hit that my progress (in Archy, at least) for completed projects in all non Draenor 'families' has disappeared - it no longer shows any Dwarf, etc projects as completed.
    Is this a known issue or something basic & simple I have forgotten to do (as part of an update)?

    Great work you do, Torhal & team,

    Regards

  • #1865

    It has nothing to do with Archy.

    A nasty bug hit people doing archeology somewhere after patch 6.0 landed and deleted all previous completions from the archeology journal. Blizzard is aware of this but they haven't announced anything about a fix or a compensation. You should open a GM ticket.
