Guild Chronicle

[10.2.2] — 2026-11-10

Fixed — Kill statistics and death causes

• Forever now counts named, XP-confirmed creature kill credits using the client's localized combat-XP formats. Quest, exploration, gathering, unnamed XP, zero-XP and protected messages are excluded. Duplicate chat line IDs are ignored; consecutive kills of identically named creatures still count.
• Creature type is used only when readable and unambiguous; otherwise confirmed kills appear as Unknown type and still contribute to the total. No protected NPC GUID reads are needed on Forever.
• Classic/TBC confirmed kills without a cached creature type no longer disappear. GUID deduplication prevents double counting across PARTY_KILL and UNIT_DIED.
• The book now shows your own kills separately from guild death causes, including while guildless. Open Statistics > Personal kills or /gdl kills. Visible counts refresh without reopening, and reusable widgets prevent growth on repeated refreshes. Both the book and kill-statistics window show the active tracking source and its limits.
• Normalize official/DNL killer names before serialization so guild peers retain the announced cause of death. Foreign deaths no longer inherit the local player's recent death coordinates.
• Correct the milestone recheck counter and preserve total-kill milestone updates.

Limits of Forever XP tracking

• These are XP-confirmed kill credits, including group credits, not proof of a personal killing blow. Kills without XP and kills at the level cap cannot be counted this way.
• Unknown creature types do not unlock type-specific milestones. XP credits do not feed competitive guild scores, boss classifications or revenge claims.
• The public combat log remains unavailable. Existing saved statistics are retained; missing past kills cannot be reconstructed.

Verification

• Lua 5.1, existing compatibility suites and targeted XP/combat-log regressions. No logged-in gameplay test was performed.
