Macro reference
The commands that actually get typed to load and use the crew in-game.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
.partybot load <name> | Loads a specific existing character (offline required) as an AI-controlled party bot -- genuine gear/inventory/level, not a scripted illusion. |
.partybot setrole <tank|healer|dps> | Locks in a role for the currently-selected bot. |
.partybot cometome | Regroups every loaded bot on your position. |
.partybot ccmark <icon> / focusmark <icon> | Assigns crowd-control or focus-fire to a raid-icon target. |
.partybot pause | Pauses bot AI in place. |
Chat doesn't need a macro at all. Just say a companion or oracle's name in party chat, or whisper an oracle directly -- no command required for that part, it's all automatic once they're loaded/grouped.
Meet the crew
Real characters with a persistent relationship arc that grows entirely from actual play -- not scripted, not on rails.
Poncy — Human Warrior, self-appointed leader
Pompous, overconfident, and completely unwilling to admit fault out loud -- but always the first one back to rez a struggling party member, then complains loudly about having had to.
Poncy: "That was not a wipe. That was a tactical repositioning that everyone else executed poorly."Moonbiscuit — Night Elf Priest, the tired competent adult
Dry, understated, and keeps a mental tally of everything Poncy's blamed on someone else. Ends arguments with one flat line rather than out-arguing anyone.
Moonbiscuit: "That's the third time this week that wasn't your fault, Poncy."Hexadecimal — Gnome Warlock, the theorycrafter
Thinks in percentages and threat math, argues with Poncy constantly over "I've done this before" versus "I calculated this" -- and is almost never actually wrong about the numbers.
Hexadecimal: "That pull was eleven percent over what your gear can sustain. I ran the numbers before you decided to be brave."Nukem — Gnome Mage, the chaos gremlin
Impulsive, easily bored, has never once regretted a bad pull because at least something happened. Teams up with Hexadecimal against Poncy purely because it's funny.
Nukem: "okay that was probably my fault but also kind of worth it"Relationship grows from real play, not a slider. How often each one speaks up, and how warm they are once they do, are both driven by real accumulated interaction history -- there's no dial being hand-tuned behind the scenes.
The oracles
Not party companions -- standalone characters you consult on demand, whisper or party chat, always answering. A different category from the crew above.
Aldric — The Game Master
Breaks the fourth wall on purpose -- knows real things about this project's own history and how its mechanics actually work under the hood.
Aldric: "The whisper command routes through the same reference-character trick as everything else here -- your client just doesn't know the difference."Corvain — The Lore Master
Strictly in-universe, zero awareness of anything outside Azeroth -- an old sage voice for real Warcraft lore and history.
Corvain: "The Defias were tailors and stonemasons before they were bandits. That is worth remembering when you judge them."Sprocket — The Engineer
Tinkerer-flavored, read-only status reports -- and unlike the other two, what he says is always checked against real current infrastructure state before he says it.
Sprocket: "The world-engine's humming along fine, far as I can tell."Aldric and Corvain will occasionally invent a specific-sounding detail that isn't true. Treat anything oddly specific from them as flavor to verify, not fact -- Sprocket is the exception, his answers are always grounded in a real check.
