Crawler Fix and Instant Scoring

by Xxav on September 3, 2009, 12:43 pm, under WoW Crawler, World of Warcraft

A change was made last night that would cause recently started crawlers to crash upon starting. I just corrected this bug and I am also going to use this to force an update to the crawler on those who have been running older versions. You can find the new version here as well as a list of changes. Sorry for the hiccup and thank you for crawling :)

Also, we’re currently working on a way to enable live scoring and hope to have this completed tonight. This would allow us to provide an estimated new score for a guild whenever new data is collected so you could then see it instantly reflected on the charts. Keep an eye out for this soon!

UPDATE: Instant scoring is now live!

ToC Kill Date Inaccuracies

by Xxav on September 1, 2009, 6:21 pm, under WoW Crawler, World of Warcraft

I’ve been receiving a lot of emails about Trial of the Crusader boss kills being one day off and wanted to address this. The reason this happens is because our crawlers are getting information for these bosses based on the multi-part zone achievements. For example:

<achievement categoryId="168" desc="Defeat every boss in the Trial of the Crusader in 10-player mode." icon="achievement_reputation_argentchampion" id="3917" points="10" title="Call of the Crusade (10 player)">
        <criteria date="2009-08-26+02:00" id="11684" name="Defeat the Beasts of Northrend"/>
        <criteria date="2009-08-25+02:00" id="11685" name="Defeat Lord Jaraxxus"/>
        <criteria date="2009-08-25+02:00" id="11686" name="Defeat the Faction Champions"/>
        <criteria date="2009-08-26+02:00" id="11687" name="Defeat the Twin Val'kyr"/>
        <criteria id="11688" name="Complete the Trial of the Crusader"/>
      </achievement>

That is what the crawler sees when it visits are player’s achievement page. The dates listed here next to <criteria data=” are the dates that are being recorded. We have no other way of checking for a date and are at the mercy of the Armory in this regard. I just wanted to emphasis that this is on Blizzard’s end and is not guildprogress.com’s fault!

One thing I would suggest is relogging after your raid over to sync with the Armory. I am not sure how effective that is but if you are concerned about having accurate data on the Armory you can give it a shot!

Rankings Update Frequency

by Xxav on August 26, 2009, 10:22 pm, under World of Warcraft

In an effort to keep the rankings as up to date as possible, we made some changes that will allow us to recalculate the rankings/scoring more frequently.

  • The rankings for Ulduar/Coliseum will now be refreshed every 2 hours.
  • Wrath of the Lich King rankings will be refreshed every morning at 4am est.
  • The Burning Crusade will no longer be crawled or have it’s rankings updated.

We’re continuing to look at ways to make the rankings quicker to update and hope to have more improvements in the near future.
