Hello everyone. I have been working on this repack for years at this point, and I feel that I have created a somewhat unique experience of the solo-oriented Vanilla enthusiast that does not involve bots or nerfed content. If that sounds interesting to you, please read on.

As far as the ingame world goes, I’ve always been an enormous fan of Vanilla. Later content seemed like too much of an amusement park. However, those expanded talent trees, spells and so on are too good to pass up on. I decided to mod an experience that, as I see it, combines what I feel is best about the early life stage of WoW.

Special thanks to Sylian for everything he's done to help me make a new Wrathnilla, to Brimstone for getting me into modding, and to the missus for putting up my obsessive modding effort.

Also - proud to be powered by SylCore. A link to Sylian's discord is included in the launcher.


WHAT THIS REPACK OFFERS:

A thorougly overhauled and curated Vanilla dungeon experience (currently up to level 50) for the solo player

Extreme class, talent and spell changes which will allow you much more freedom in deciding how you want to play your character (Holy Priest dps, melee Hunter, etc)

Just plug and play - no difficulty tweaking or pre-play setup of any kind needed

A free experience through and through - donations are very welcome but are not required, everything is available for free

Content restored to pre Burning Crusade status - for example, abominations once again guard Undercity

Many edits to professions, from lowering mat requirements to enhancing existing items and adding new ones to help players tackle PvE

Customized AHbot (only sells vanilla-appropriate items)

Several optional lua scripts to spice up your overworld gameplay experience



HOW CORE GAMEPLAY DIFFERS FROM UN-MODDED:

The MMO trinity of healer/tank/dps has no place in a single player, duo or casual trio setting. This overhaul addresses the issue by converting all healing and tanking builds into damage dealing ones with various support and defense mechanics. The original damage-dealers have had their survivability increased considerably. Paired with a minion pet, each individual player becomes a self-contained trinity.

You will not be able to tank as before. No class is equipped to deal with continuous boss damage after their pet dies. Rely on your pet and keep it alive. To play effectively, you will need to get used to moving your pet around and keeping it's healing ability up.

You will not be able to heal as before. Those spells have had their mana cost greatly increased and most of them have long, linked cooldowns. Rely on consumables.

I cannot put enough emphasis on the consumables and crafted items. Get them and use them or you will probably fail.

Also... the solution to every problem isn't combat. Just to most of them. Cryptic hint over.

Thank you very much for the kind words, I appreciate them :)
 
Hello everyone, I've updated the original post a bit and added a Latest Patch link and a new optional lua script intended to make multi-target encounters easier.

This is the 5th patch and only includes detailed notes for that one, but so far there have been many talent and spell balance tweaks for all classes and most pets. You do not need the old patches, as the latest one includes all previous changes.

One important thing I would like to mention: it has been discovered that Wrathnilla does not play nice with any sort of patches, HD or otherwise. If you're using anything like that, I highly recommend you get rid of them and see if anything is different for you. If it is - consider playing without them. Buggy behavior includes things like spells not showing up in trainer lists, so the glitches can be considerable.

Also, development has resumed, and I am halfway through Zul'Farrak. Version 2.1 will raise the level cap to 50, include an overhauled Zul'Farrak, Maraudon and Sunken Temple, and will feature some changes to the overworld rare spawns (namely new movesets, better loot and a difficulty increase). A hardcore mode has been requested as well and will also be making an appearance.

That is all for now. Thank you for reading and happy gaming :) for regular updates and progress reports, consider joining the Project Wrathnilla+ discord.

 
Apologies for the late reply, things have been crazy and I forgot to check threads.

No, there are no videos or clips and I don't plan on making any. It's a small download size compared to some other custom projects, and if it sounds interesting I recommend just giving it a shot. I can't make a single clip or video doing it justice anyway, there are a ton of minor and major changes. If you want you can always pop by the discord and ask for some player feedback.
 
Hello everyone, I am happy to announce the release of version 2.1 of Wrathnilla, the deeply overhauled solo-oriented WoW repack that does not rely on bots. If lots of freedom when building your character and challenging dungeons sound like your cup of tea, I recommend you check it out. If you are unfamiliar with my work, check the old thread for basic information.

2.1 Client Patch:

WHAT'S NEW IN 2.1:
- level cap increased to 50
- dungeons up to Sunken Temple reworked and ready to kill you
- amazing new multi-functional launcher made by Sylian
- hardcore mode with mandatory dungeon delving, also made by Sylian
- Murderbots (lua script and SAI-powered overworld assssins)
- many spell, item and general balance changes

REASON FOR DISCORD LOCKDOWN:
- I don't enjoy playing discord cop
- I likewise don't enjoy playing whack-a-bot
- I don't want to make my friends do the above
- I want to reinstate everyone's permission to post images, which I removed because of the above

After the week is over, discord invites will be limited to patrons (one donation of 2.50 euros is enough, you won't be kicked after your subscription expires). Check the "Patreon" button on the login screen for details.

I will also no longer be posting update patches on various other platforms. This is another thing I do not enjoy and will no longer be dealing with. I just want to develop Wrathnilla and hang out with people in my discord.

You are of course free to share the patches and updates / get them from other people, but I won't be engaging in that. I especially don't intend to check if said files are clean of malware on your behalf.

Thank you for reading. I hope to see you in the discord soon.

 
A bug was discovered with Hardcore Mode, here's the hotfix. Apologies for the hiccup.

Hello again everyone, long time no see. I heard the download links aren't cooperating, so here are some fresh ones:

If these stop working as well and I again don't notice soon enough, I also have some threads up in the SylCore and Repacks Community discords. Invite links to those:

WoW Repacks Community:


These links will get you the baseline 2.1 release. I no longer distribute regular minor updates like I used to. If you don't want to wait until 2.2 is ready, consider subscribing to my Patreon for said regular updates. A single Tier 1 donation of 2.5 euros is enough for permanent access to the now closed-off Wrathnilla discord (barring any rule-breaking that might get you banned). The live version is 2.1.1 at the moment, with 2.1.2 a couple of months away. For a brief overview of development and info on what donations get used on, follow the link below.

As always - thank you for reading, and happy gaming!
 
Here's another set of links because I was told the current ones are starting to seize up.

NOTICE: these were uploaded suspiciously quickly in comparison to what I'm used to with my rustic Eastern European internet connection. The file size is correct so it might be just fine and my internet had a temporary moment of lucidity, but I'm not 100% on that. If the server turns out to be a corrupted dud, please let me know and I will remove/replace the links. I am currently uploading another batch but I doubt it'll be done before I go to bed - more likely I'll restart tomorrow and post fresh links in the evening.


Client Patch 2.1:


Wrathnilla 2.1:
 
Apologies, an internet crash sabotaged yesterday's attempt to upload. Here is the last set of links. I won't be uploading any additional ones for a while because, due to my aforementioned rustic internet, this locks up our browsing and youtubing for basically the whole day. If you can't make these work, please try other venues.
