Does anyone have a soup timer addon?

It is astounding to me that there is no built in timer for when the next soup event is. I mean, I can’t even wrap my head around that design decision. Maybe if it was every hour on the hour I can understand not adding an in-game timer but when it’s every, what 3 and a half hours? C’mon. When I log in and there’s no event happening and no soup to eat I have no way of knowing, in-game, when the next event will be, and that’s, not even sorry, stupid.

“Just check WoWhead.” Ook that. We shouldn’t have to play this game with WoWhead open in another window for stuff that should be as simple as this. Having to tab out to check an external website just to find out when the next soup event is, not sorry in the slightest, bad design.

So, does anyone have a soup timer addon? A simple one? Not one that requires some other addon to work, not one that’s part of some big UI package. Just a simple addon that says Soup: [time left] so I can stick it in the corner, or maybe just have it pop up on the map.

Thanks in advance.

I just load the front page of wowhead. They have the information there. It is what it is.

Blizzard doesn’t actually care about giving information in the game itself. The soup and keep events should have timers on the map all the time but…

To be honest, I’m surprised they haven’t found a way to just integrate Wowhead directly into the game interface by now.

It doesn’t make sense why they don’t just have an active timer for both the community feast and obsidian hold. Just do it like in BC for the PVP zone objectives.

If I had a timer reminding me of every missed soup event I’d be capped. :woman_facepalming:

For the love of dog, at least have a soup NPC we can ask for the next soup time.

I second using the weakaura, works great. For me, I like having it right above my quest log window, it almost fits as part of the UI. I also unchecked the zone limitation in loading options (where the weakaura only shows up when you are in DF zones, otherwise it’s hidden). I like having it at all times, so I can still see the timer when in old content.

I just use the schedule I monkeyed around with. Seems to be accurate so far.

Wish this guy made a soup timer, but I’m not seeing one. BFAInvasionTimer is pretty close to what I’m talking about, but with soup.
