I am having the same problem. I have deleted and reinstalled several times - LK is not showing anything other than Proximity Meter.

Well I feel rather slow, but I figured it out. After doing a full ICC clear (and before our LK attempts) I decided to update DXE for that fight. I deleted my DXE folder and installed the newest version right off of wowace. That resulted in every single encounter loading but Lich King for some reason.

Now that we're done and you mentioned it, I deleted my DXE folder again; installed DXE from Curse and updated it with the newest version from wowace. Now LK shows up, but we're done for the night. Oh well, I'm set for now at least.

Malarkschwag, I'm really not sure it's working here. I fixed some localization issues but they wouldn't cause what you're saying you're experiencing. I installed it myself via the Curse Client. So really not sure what the issue you're having is.

I quit the game, install the latest release, load it up and nothing. Every single other encounter is there but Lich King.

I've even completely deleted my DXE folder in my Addon folder and reinstalled and still zilch :(.

Have you exited the game since you updated. If you updated from a version that didn't have it and hadn't completely exited the game it won't see the file.

For some reason Lich King is not showing up under my encounters. The Lich_King.lua file is in my Icecrown folder, but in game it is not listed on the encounter list to be loaded.

I am running the most current version that was posted on Feb 6th at aprox 11:30pm :/

N/m that, after I reinstalled it appeared just as it should, went scrolling through the LUA files for nothing :)

I downloaded the latest version of DXE, being v427-7-g9684090. When I was scrolling through the boss list of Icecrown Citadel I noticed Valithria wasn't in there. Did you forget to enable it?

Will Toravon be added? Not like we need any messages on that boss, but still, would be nice to see it completed.

Since I never left a message before, thanks for creating such an awesome bossmod and updating it properly. Awesome job.

I assume we'll be getting Toravon support pretty soon? He's pretty easy, I'm just mostly worried about the indicators for the tank debuff stacks.

Could you perhaps add a timer for when combat will begin on events like the Gunship or Saurfang? Sometimes its boring to keep reading that dialog so you're rdy the second the boss becomes active, but with a timer you can relax a little until the 5 sec warning.

It's would be too much work for myself to maintain both 5 mans and 10/25 mans right now. I don't have any data on the 5 mans, so I would have to rerun all the interests, something I don't really have a desire in doing. I would have to find someone else to join the project to do them.

Hi,

I'm wondering if there is a component to this with data for 5 mans? I really like DVE over DBM, but the lack of a 5 man component makes it difficult to fully make the switch to Deus Vox.

I see that there are some similar comments made already and I'm curious if any progress has been made here or if there are no intentions of providing 5 man data.

Thanks!

It doesn't have clickable and battleground functionality. I could add it. You could make a ticket so I don't forget about it

Just a quick question before I install: Does DXE have the same clickable functionality as DBM does? (Such as shift+click to show timer to whoever should be seeing it, right click to hide, that sort of thing).

EDIT: Another question, does it have battleground functionalities?

Would you be able to add a Gastric Bloat cooldown for festergut, I tank that fight and give my raid a 3-5 sec warning before i taunt off the other tank.
