Compatibility

• Classic Era: Full support on official Hardcore realms
• TBC Anniversary: Full support via Soul of Iron buff detection

This addon is completely safe to run alongside the Hardcore addon. Alternatively, this addon can be run without the Hardcore addon running, however, it does not provide verification for the solo self-found challenge.

Features

Death Detection & Enrichment

• Automatic /who enrichment — Blizzard death messages only include the player's name; Deathlog fills in level, class, race, and guild via a background lookup
• Party/raid death reporting — automatically captures deaths of group members, even if they don't have the addon
• Universal broadcast parser — uses Blizzard's own localized globals to parse death messages in all 11 client languages
• Compatible with the Hardcore addon's faction-wide death notifications (can be set to guild only)

Death Alerts

• 6 visual themes with NPC creature portraits (static + animated 3D models)
• Customize messages with substitution tags: <name>, <race>, <class>, <level>, <guild>, <source>, <zone>, <playtime>, <last_words>, <reported_by>
• Group syntax for context-aware messages:
  • (...) Relaxed group — shown if at least one tag inside has a value
  • [...] Strict group — shown only if all tags inside have values
• Example: <name>( the <race> <class>)[ of <guild>] has been slain by <source>[ at lvl <level>][ in <zone>].
• Real-time input validation catches unknown tags, unbalanced groups, and formatting errors

Death Report Widget (TBC Anniversary / Soul of Iron)

• Detects when a nearby player loses their Soul of Iron
• A popup appears asking you to help report their death — even without Deathlog installed
• Click the button to gather and log their character info

Background Database Sync

• Automatically exchange death entries with nearby Deathlog users — no setup required
• Configurable in settings: Interface → AddOns → Deathlog → Database Sync

Playtime Tracking

• Total /played time recorded in every death report
• Displayed in the minilog, search log, tooltips, and death alert messages
• Privacy opt-out available in settings

Browse the Deathlog

• Search by name, level, class, race, guild, zone, death source, and more
• Filter by server, level range, and class

Local Moderation

• Right-click any death (log or minilog) to Report player via Blizzard's in-game report dialog; offensive names/guilds are flagged in red as Report name
• Hide name removes every entry for a character from your log and stops your client from sharing them — purely local, never deletes anyone else's data, and reversible with /dl unhide <name> (/dl hidden lists what you've hidden)
• For deaths a peer broadcast to you, Report sender or Ignore sender (ignoring drops all their future live broadcasts)
• Reported by attribution shows who relayed a death — a minilog column, a tooltip row, the <reported_by> death-alert tag, and a trailing * after the name in the search window
• Fake-death floods (junk names, impossible sources) are rejected on arrival, and each sender is volume-capped so no one can flood your log

Statistics per Zone

• Fully functional map with heatmap overlay and death location overlays
• Deadliest creatures per zone
• Death statistics by class with probability density graphs
• Continental aggregation: Kalimdor, Eastern Kingdoms, Outland, or all of Azeroth

Statistics per Instance

• Scrollable grid for easy navigation

Statistics by NPC/Creature

• Normalized and total kill rankings across Azeroth
• Creature locations and 3D models

Minilog Widget
