A Lurker Is Announced (ALIA)

This Secret World Legends addon provides announcements for important events in the Manhattan Exclusion Zone.

Audible Warnings

There are two audible warnings, each of which is a short sequence of beeps. They play when:

  • Every time the lurker crosses a Personal Space threshold to warn of the impending cast (E10 only)
  • When the lurker casts From Beneath You It Devours (pod), mostly so cleansers in E10 know to cast Cleanup.

Displays

Currently there are six displays that appear. The displays only appear when in the Manhattan Exclusion Zone, the addon basically goes to sleep outside of that zone.

Health % Display

This shows the Lurker's current health percentage. It remains active even when the Lurker is not targetable

Warning Display

Displays warnings for the following casts:

  • Shadow out of Time (first one only, at 75%)
  • Personal Space (67%, 45%, 25%)
  • Final Resort (2.5% on Story Mode, 5% on all elite difficulties)

Also displays a "coming soon" warning before the cast threshold (3% ahead by default, user-configurable). These warnings fade out quickly when the spell is cast. The warn-ahead percentage can be set with the following command (this will set it to 5% ahead):

/setoption alia_warnpct 5

NPC Display

Shows status of each NPC according to encounter phase

  • Phase 1: Hidden (no NPCs to track)
  • Phase 2: Shows number of Birds (B) & number of Downfalls (D) cast by current bird
  • Phase 3: Displays the status of each NPC as a color-coded letter (or optionally, name)

Also displays warning text for "Podded" and "Doomed" (pod incoming) NPCs. Color codes are:

  • Green: Providing Buff
  • Yellow: Targeted by pod
  • Red: Podded
  • Grey: Incapacitated (waiting to be picked up)
  • White: Not providing buff, but no status ailments (i.e. while running back to their spot)
  • Black: NPC not yet detected (usually most of phase 1 & 2)

Letters are just M (Mei Ling / Melee), R (Rose / Mid-range), A (Alex / AR range), and Z (Zuberi). To enable long names ("Mei", "Rose", "Alex", and "Zub"), use the command:

/setoption alia_shownames true

Zuberi is automatically enabled in E17, but disabled by default in other difficulties. If you want to see what he's up to, you can enable him with

/setoption alia_zuberi true

Pod Targets Display

This shows which players are about to be podded (Doomed) or are podded (Podded).

  • Uses the same color-coding as the NPC display (yellow for Doomed, red for podded)
  • Should automatically show/hide itself as needed based on whether people are podded

Cooldown Tracking Bars

Show remaining cooldowns on Pure Filth and From Beneath You It Devours (Pod). Automatically hides during phase 2 when they aren't relevant.

Countdown Display

Ten-minute countdown timer to help gague progress. Also to make those last-second kills even more epic.

Addon Layout

The displays can be moved (click & drag) in GUIEdit mode, and save their position between sessions. Screenshot in GUIEdit Mode
