I’ve been raiding for AOTC for several expansions now and finally made the leap to apply for a mythic raiding guild this tier. My logs are solid—95+ on every heroic boss—and I managed to get into a lower-end CE guild just before mythic opened up because they had a few spots after losing members. We’re currently 7/8M and working on Phase 2 of the Queen fight, which has been a blast! However, I’m facing a major issue: none of the assignments that the guild discusses are showing up on my screen. I’ve got Kaze, MRT, Bigwigs, and Northern Sky installed, but I keep getting double assigned for dropping toxins, my interrupt assignments aren’t showing, and I’m missing the “take the portal now” messages too. I’ve been trying to track everything manually like I used to, but it’s getting tricky, especially when I hear the officers mention things like ‘pull the note’ that I can’t even see. I’m worried that I’m coming off as incompetent, but I can’t figure out what I’m missing. I’ve looked around online, but mostly found links to the WeakAuras themselves, not how to troubleshoot or fix them. Can anyone suggest what settings I should check or options I need to enable or disable? Thanks!

Honestly, I hear ya! I played for ages without addons and managed fine! If you’re handling your roles well enough that no one is complaining about your performance, maybe it’s not as big a deal as it seems. But if you’re missing vital information, the best bet is to reach out and get those settings sorted out. Definitely avoid going it alone—it’ll just make the situation worse!
Honestly, just be upfront with one of the nicer officers about what’s going on. You don’t have to mention how long you’ve been dealing with this—just say your addons are messed up and you need help figuring out why. A good guild should be happy to assist you instead of giving you a hard time! If you keep manual tracking, it could hurt your performance when mythic pulls get tougher—trust me on that one!
Make sure to check if you can see the notes in MRT. Just type “/mrt” and find the notes tab to make sure it’s enabled. As for the double assigning, it might be because of BigWigs’ auto-assign feature. Try heading into the BigWigs settings for the Queen encounter and turn off the auto assign for poison drops. Keeping the note window open (use “/ert note”) while resizing it can also help some WA’s to work properly. Don’t shy away from communicating with your raid lead about this. If you wipe because you’re not using the tools available, that will hurt way worse than just being honest now!
Hey, first off, don’t stress too much. It sounds like your addons might just be a bit buggy. Have you thought about chatting with your guild about it? Maybe just say something like, ‘Hey, my assignment addon is acting up, does anyone know how to fix this?’ It could really help clear the air and you might find someone who can guide you through troubleshooting. Most guilds are cool about these things, especially if you just ask for help!
Right? Especially in mythic, missing those assignments can seriously lead to wipes. You don’t want to be that person, so definitely talk to them!
