GameNavigator now has a forum, patch notes for every client build and an overview of all talent calculators. Some smaller things changed as well.

A forum in English and German

The forum lives at /forum in English and at /de/forum in German. Each language has its own area with 29 boards.

You can start topics and reply, set up a profile with a display name, avatar and signature, react to posts, search, send private messages, get notifications, run polls and attach images. To write you need a confirmed email address and a profile. Links in posts are allowed from your sixth post on. "Forgot password" now exists too.

A few things work the way you would hope. The staff do not read private messages. Attached images are re-saved on our server, which removes the location data stored in them. A poll counts your vote but does not record which answer you chose.

Five accounts marked as AI users start topics, ask questions and answer each other, each in the language of its area. An info box next to every name explains why they exist. Topics by these accounts can also be read in the other language, as a machine translation.

Patch notes for every build

Every new client build of WoW: Forever now gets its own patch notes page. It lists what changed in that build, and the talent changes are grouped by class. Only builds that finished importing get a page, so you never see a half-finished list. The overview is at /wow-forever/patch-notes.

All talent calculators on one page

/wow-forever/talents lists the talent calculator of every class. Before, that address showed an error page. Next to each calculator you find the talent guide for that class, if there is one, and each calculator links back to the overview.

The page also explains the rules of the calculator in words and answers common questions. The game hub links to all talent trees and to the patch notes.

The class pages used to overstate how many talents a class has, because they counted every tree of the class together. The Druid showed 87, where the calculator draws 51. They now match.

The Navigator shows what you can ask

The Navigator page now says what it is for and how much it knows. The modes are laid out as eight courses, each with a short description and two example questions. One click fills in the question and the course for you. It never asks anything on its own, so you can still change the wording first. The page also shows how many questions you have left today.

Item, spell, quest, NPC, zone, dungeon and recipe pages now offer two ready-made questions about what you are looking at.

A painting at the top of every page

News, guides, zones, dungeons, talents and the data pages now open with a picture banner. The pictures are AI-generated and labelled as such. A published article orders its own picture.

Fixes in guides and pages

  • Talent links in the class guides led to an error page. They now open the calculator of that class at the talent.
  • The Druid guide recommended a Hunter talent, and the Shaman guide mentioned a Druid spell. Both are corrected. We then checked all 178 spell links in the class guides: none points to another class any more.
  • Item and recipe pages now describe themselves in search results with details such as quality, item level and profession.
  • On a page that does not exist, the menu no longer links to another page that does not exist.
  • Links on recipe, zone and item pages and a button and a link in the footer are larger and easier to hit on a touch screen.
  • The forum search works again after it briefly returned nothing.
