New Achievement Scoring Explained!
by Xxav on June 24, 2009, 1:35 am, under World of Warcraft
There is now a new system in place which places different weights on each achievement. These weights were based off a survey that I had posted yesterday.
Achievement Survey
by Xxav on June 23, 2009, 12:56 am, under World of Warcraft
I’m going to be changing the rankings so that each achievement will have a specific weight or worth assigned to it. For example, hard mode achievements will be worth more and /kiss achievements worth less
The system is in place except for the exact weight/worth for each achievement. I’ve constructed a very rough survey which you can complete to help decide how each achievement is weighted. If you’re interested in taking it, click here ( it’s gone! ). Many thanks!
Update: I’ve compiled the data I received and will post a summary shortly. Thanks to those who completed the survey!
Badge Bug Squashed
by Xxav on June 22, 2009, 7:40 pm, under WoW Crawler, World of Warcraft
If your guild badge was not displaying properly it should now be fixed. If not, please try to rebuild it and let me know if the problem persists.
Also, this bug caused a bit of chaos yesterday and this morning which resulted in the crawler not working and part of the site being down. If you notice your crawler being “stuck” please exit it and restart the program. Thanks again for those of you who run the crawler.
Sorry for the downtime!
And by the way, I’m still looking for ideas and suggestions for new features and improvements. You can comment on this entry without having to register. I am currently working on an interesting new feature that will display the data in different format. I’ll release more on this as it nears completion. But really, I want your feedback!
Boss and Zone Progression Corrections
by Xxav on June 16, 2009, 12:27 am, under EverQuest, EverQuest 2
I’ve received a few emails regarding missing bosses and/or zones from the EQ and EQ2 portions of the site. I will admit that I no longer play these games and may be out of the loop in terms of raid progression. In the past I have scoured the web looking for clues as to what bosses and zones make up the PvE progression but this information tends to be hard to find or has discrepencies.
Getting to the point, I am asking for visitors to post here with any suggetions, corrections, or mistakes they may find in regards to PvE progression in EQ and EQ2. Thanks a lot for your help!
Additional Badge Layouts Added
by Xxav on June 16, 2009, 12:21 am, under EverQuest, EverQuest 2, Site Updates, World of Warcraft
I’ve finally gotten around to adding a few more options for the guild badges. You are now able to choose a tall or wide badge in addition to the small square badge. These new badge sizes include two eras worth of stats. You can build them using the “Build Guild Badge” link in the guild sidebar. If you run into any problems or have any suggestions, don’t hesitate to comment here!
I am also interested in hearing what new features you would like to have added to the site. Please drop me a note here or use the contact button at the bottom of the site. Thanks for visiting!
