Ways to liven up PvP? A killboard/war reports
Posted: Fri Oct 02, 2020 12:50 am
Since the beginning of this game I always thought it would be nice to have something akin to Eve's killmail system, where each death is logged in detail, such as who participated in a kill, in what way, where and when. Unfortunately, I don't think proper implementation would be possible through addon system, only through parsing server logs, and I assume it would take a lot of dev time that could be spent better.
What could be done with an addon is a way simpler war reports system, a tool for importing results of an instanced PvP event, be it a scenario or a city, and uploading it to some dedicated service for all to see & rave about. Way we are doing this now is crude, limited and unreliable, it being (mostly) 3 screenshots sorted by 3 columns thrown in discord.
What I have in mind is an ingame addon to parse end results and export them out of the game, and tiny companion app/client that would upload those results to some server, not unlike wardb client back in 2009.
What I don't have is skills in LUA & war interface API, or intent to learn them. If someone is able and interested in having useful pet project, I'm willing to bankroll a server to host it.
