Any plans to add City Info Tracker?

[Disruptor]

City Info Tracker aka CIT is/was a website SCORE used to track all account based data such as characters, influence, xp, salvage, enhancements on an account based level but also character based level. A transparent png or jpeg image of each character were available for each character profile. There was a search function for not only your characters but every character in the databased.

 

You could search via char name or global names. You could customize your profiles to show which info, did you want your salvage private or public, etc. You could hide all your chars or just specific ones, it was up to you. It showed what badge name, title and sg each character had. There was data on your account such as how many of each AT you had and powersets. There was also global data that showed how many of each powerset combination existed on the server, etc.

 

You could see your auctions, badges, different costume slots from this website it was pretty in depth overall and really useful. You didn't have to log into the game to track certain things and it totaled up things like Inf and Rares, across your whole account so lets say you have 1m on 7 different chars it would show you had 7m on your account. It also had a character list menu that you could sort like char w/ most influence on your account. 

 

I am surprised there is nothing remotely this in depth to this point available to HC. Unless I'm missing something.

The closest for Homecoming is that Cipher posted that he was working on an online character build browser almost three years ago, but it's gone nowhere and seems to be dead.

 

 

That's it.

Ah I see. Thanks for the response.

I would LOVE to see CIT or something like it come back.  My poor characters haven't been logged in on CIT for over 5300 days 😄

Still hoping some code hero out there will rise to the challenge and save the City (Info Tracker) 😄

It is increasingly unlikely that getting CIT back in any form will happen. The most recent implementation of CIT that OP described was never going to make it to Homecoming because of the potential for ingame performance issues. It worked fine on a tiny server with only a few dozen concurrent players, but on a server with thousands it would likely cause some pretty big hiccups while pulling data. Either way it's a moot point, since most of the tools that interface directly with the game like that went away as a result of conditions of the NCSoft license agreement.

Further to what @macskull said, I'd also heard in line with that NCSoft License Agreement, HC would have to code a new CIT-like tool from scratch.  It it would have to scale to thousands of Players and Toons.  And the default settings would have to respect privacy, same as does these forums.

Might explain the new privacy features on the forum.

I would love to have CIT, just to keep track of my own toons.  Details like which toons have sold or bought items on the market, which IOs are slotted or in trays, which badges have been obtained or are in process -- it would be great to be able to access that information without having to log in.  But this:

makes it seem like any version of CIT would be impossible. 

 

I understand why a CIT that let players view other players' character details would be disallowed -- privacy concerns, of course.  But I wish there was an app that could let a player access their own character information.

 

C'est la vie.
