			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been working on a new project recently that I am proud to share first with guildprogress.com users. <a href="http://www.gamerkarma.net" target="_blank">GamerKarma.net</a> is a tool for online gamers to share their opinions of their fellow gamer&#8217;s skills &#8211; both game skills and people skills. Registered users are able to submit anonymous reviews of fellow gamers for the public and, perhaps more importantly, the gamers themselves to see. I&#8217;ve grown tired of all the trolls that are encountered in online gaming these days and I am hoping that by allowing people to publicly record the actions of their fellow gamers it will make online gaming communities more fun and enjoyable.</p>
<p>Anyways, if you like what you see please share it with others in the gaming community. Thanks!</p>

<p>The chart for Destiny of Velious was very large with the new content so I split Skyshrine off into it&#8217;s own section. Would you guys rather see all the Destiny of Velious content under one section? Or leave separate?</p>
<p>Update: <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">There was an error that was causing kills prior to April 20th to be deleted. Please try again and let me know if there are any more problems. Sorry!</span></p>

From what I can tell, this is a similar issue to the one almost a year ago where the Blizzard Armory API was not supplying all data. I may ended up needing to revamp how WoW progression is tracked (again!). I&#8217;ll update this post when I figure out more. Sorry for the delays.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

I got factions working on the Rift site now. When you add a new guild it will now correctly prompt for faction. However, all current guilds will need to be updated manually (by me!). So please send these my way using the contact form or posting below.
Thanks!

I spoke to someone from their API team and they are aware of the bug but don&#8217;t have a timeline as to when it will be fixed (hopefully soon!). Some progressions sites use different data to come up with their progression. I&#8217;m using individual character achievements and that is unfortunately affected by this bug. I&#8217;ll let you know when I know more. Thanks!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been away from the computer the past week. I should point out that <strong>only Cataclysm content is being recorded in the new crawler</strong>. Are you guys seeing issues where that content isn&#8217;t being updated?</p>
<p>The good news is that I ran it unattended all week and nothing blew up. The bad news is, as some have pointed out, is that it is not that fast.</p>
<p>Ideally, I will release a public version but I need to see how that all factors into the daily limits that Blizzard imposes on the API.</p>
<p>Thanks for all your comments on the crawler. I will be spending some time this week digging into these issues and hopefully I&#8217;ll have an update soon. Please continue to post feedback on any issues you are having.</p>
<p><strong>UPDATE 1:</strong> I identified and fixed a bug where bosses that are tracked using an achievement&#8217;s criteria were not being recorded. Also, I have just forced a recrawl of all guilds crawled this past week.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now that Blizzard&#8217;s API is officially live, I am working on developing a new crawler program to take advantage of it. This should result in more accurate data as well as quicker updates. Stay tuned!</p>
<p>Update: Should be <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">ready this weekend</span> soon!</p>
<p>Update 2: The program is done but I am waiting for authenticated access from Blizzard. Hopefully I&#8217;ll get it soon!</p>
<p>Update 3: I have a key! I&#8217;m going to be running the new crawler locally for the time being. Once I iron out the bugs I&#8217;ll release a public version. Thanks for your patience!</p>
<p>Update 4: I&#8217;ve been running the new crawler this past week. It&#8217;ll definitely be a big improvement on the quality of our data. I&#8217;m going to continue to run it privately but since it is much faster than the previous methods there may not even be a need to release a public version. Thanks for hanging in there during the transition!</p>
<p>Update 5: We&#8217;re currently exceeding our daily request limit on Battle.net. Blizzard has tripled the amount of requests we can make but this hasn&#8217;t taken effect just yet. This is why the crawler seems to stop working in the late afternoon. Request limits are reset at 7pm EST.</p>
