🩹 Patches

• 1.9.24: Fixed a role condition error (thank you Gutz!)
• 1.9.23: Added helper commands for the API flow.
• 1.9.22: Likely the final optimization pass for the day.
• 1.9.21: Optimization for synchronization to prevent large influxes of memory usage and potential hitching.
  • In general, memory usage will be far better moving forward as I will not be relying upon LUA garbage collection.
  • Optimizations are still in progress and memory usage will likely be reduced by ~60% overall. In the meantime, please know I take it seriously and apologize for inflated memory usage.
• 1.9.20: More optimization for less memory & CPU usage.
• 1.9.19: Optimizing data synchronization.
• 1.9.18: Patch for errors incurred when running a certain combination of addons.
• 1.9.17: Small patch for clarity in the UI panel and making sure BoF adds affix points when cast on allies to counter entangling.
• 1.9.16: Small patch for clearing the UI panel 🤏
• 1.9.15:
  • Fix for early dungeon leaver detection and for dungeon caching, and tightened up the logic. To be marked as a leaver, all of the following must be true:
    • Keystone <= +20
    • Dungeon must be active
    • Time remaining must be <= 6 min
    • Must have a full group
  • For this version, all leavers and low performers have been wiped. People were added as the criteria were a WIP, so it's only fair to wipe the DB altogether.
  • Another pass on the info pane to provide more clarity into what information is being displayed
• 1.9.14:
  • Fix for Details API subjects in conditions.
  • Colorization of UI panel names and more congruency with it.
  • Removed TTS as it is protected (would be nice if documentation stated such).
  • UI hardening to ensure further reliability before upcoming additions.
• 1.9.13: Fix for left column in UI. Added more logic for leavers; if someone disconnected and another leaves, the person who DCed will be added instead of the leaver.
• 1.9.12: Fix for dungeon leaver logic to ensure it only fires within a M+ dungeon, if the time left is >= 3 min.
• 1.9.11: Fix for Spell ID replacement.
• 1.9.10:
  • Removed all API pre/post message logic to be in line with the new paradigm (this simply has too much margin for heavy performance impact)
  • New condition subjects:
    • In dungeon
    • In boss fight
    • In combat
  • New unit conditions:
    • Has buff/debuff
    • Does NOT have buff/debuff
  • When creating triggered messages, if you have a condition based on a spell being cast with the ID / name as the condition, NC will give a spell link specific to that spell. If it's not a valid spell, it will tell you it is invalid.
• 1.9.9: Compatibility with latest patch (sorry, forgot to update the supported version).
• 1.9.8: Hotfix for the breakage of some replacements in 1.9.7.
• 1.9.7:
  • Fix for occurrences where NC would spam warnings when an API addon was disabled.
  • General hardening and optimizations.
  • Condition subject categories, things should be far less cluttered now.
  • Lots more condition subjects.
• 1.9.6: More bugfixes.
• 1.9.5: Fix for non-ElvUI users who leverage Details! for item level retrieval.
• 1.9.4: More minor bugfixes.
• 1.9.3: Bugfix for the UI panel, dungeon relog caching logic, and use without Details.
• 1.9.2: Hardening and optimization pass. Overview:
  • Guild roster sync with a timer and chunking to ensure things are smooth.
  • Removed the replacement logic from the controller bootstrapping logic. Now replacement logic is bootstrapped per loading screen. Huge optimization gain there!
  • Added replacements and operators for group lead.
  • All replacement text example logic is in the dynamic API / replacement blocks. Example text is much cleaner and easier to maintain now.
  • Allow setting preferred marker for affix marking.
  • Guild login / logout events.
  • New triggers:
    • Begin spellcast
    • Aura applied (includes dose)
    • Damage taken
    • Avoidable damage taken
  • Group member item level hardening. Persistent attempts at syncing. Details API in addition to ElvUI API.
  • New sources!
    • Boss
    • Affix mob
    • Any mob
    • These new sources are available on any unit triggers (spellcast, begin spellcast, aura applied)
  • Data caching for dungeons and groups. Persists data through interface reloads / relogs, and will attempt to restore cached data when possible. Not foolproof, but definitely a step in the right direction.
  • Bugfixes and general optimizations.
• 1.9.1: Bug fix for non ElvUI users.

⭐ Latest Versions

1.9.0

• New UI with stats and the ability to report as desired.
  • This is a preview of 2.x functionality.
• New trackers:
  • Crowd control
  • Defensives
  • Dispells
• New replacements, events, conditions, etc.
• Performance tracking which will attempt to rank players within the group based on:
  • DPS (for DPS only)
    • Tracks when a DPS is lower than tank and/or healer DPS
    • Tracks when a DPS is significantly lower / higher than others in the group
  • Affixes
    • Attempts to understand which classes / specs should be exempt
    • Scoring based on handling affixes (CCing souls counts, for example)
  • Avoidable Damage
  • Crowd Control
  • Deaths
  • Usage of defensive abilities
  • Dispells
  • Interrupts
  • Offheals
  • Butt pulls
  • And more!
• Overperformer and underperformer tracking
  • Stored in permanent DB
  • DB synchronization with other players
  • Reporting for when someone joins who was marked as either over/under performing recently
  • Based on scoring of all of the above metrics
  • Smart scoring -- for example, a Resto Druid will not be negatively scored for a lack of interrupts (yes, they can disrupt / CC)
• The same process which happens for nemeses and configured messages will now happen for bystanders:
  • All bystanders will be checked for matching conditions
  • The most optimal message will be chosen based on all criteria
  • This allows one to set hyper-specific criteria, and know that if someone ever meets that criteria, the message will be used
• Mountains of fixes and optimizations

1.8.0

• Nemesis prioritization for scenarios where more than one message is retrieved for an event.
• Beta features: hardening and optimization -- they're very close to full release state!
• Enable / disable messages for APIs.
• M+ early leaver storage and sync
  • Leavers will now be logged in a persistent DB.
  • Leavers will be synced between players in-game.
• M+ low performers storage and sync
  • Low performers will now be logged in a persistent DB.
  • Low performers will be synced between players in-game.
  • Low performers are currently defined as:
    • At least 2 spots in the bottom (bottom affixes / DPS (non-DPS exempt) / offheals, most pulls (tank exempt) / deaths / avoidable damage).
      • Deaths are taken fairly lightly, as that can be due to any number of reasons. Deaths are primarily examined base on how much avoidable damage was taken.
    • Within those spots on the bottom, there must be a difference of >= 30% between them and the top for said metric.
• Fix for dungeon keystone level.
• Lots of new stuff behind the scenes, paving the way for some really awesome future features!

1.7.0

• New Flag Guildmates as Nemeses option
• Two new conditions, is guildmate and NOT guildmate
• More enhancements across the configuration screen
• New Off-Heals reports
• New dungeon completion Deaths report

  • If the amount of avoidable damage taken is excessive, the report will also include an amount relative to their life ("6.25M avoidable damage (10.88x their max health)") 😈
• Report channel selection in configuration
• Revamped all segments, normalized all data, and exposed a few more replacements in the process
• (Beta) pull reporting: This feature will announce seemingly unintentional / hazardous pulls
  • Tanks are not included
  • This is not precise as Blizzard does not expose great ways of doing this
  • It currently only reports in real-time, and as a yell

• (Beta) neglected heals reporting: This feature will announce when (non-healer) players have been at or below 60% health without receiving a (non-self) heal
  • This feature also only reports in real-time, and as a yell
  • Once again, more options to come as this feature matures
• (Beta) affix tracking and reporting: This feature contains both announcements and reports:
  • Announce when affix mobs begin casting (if enabled)
  • Announce when affix mobs successfully cast (if enabled)
  • Announce when affix mobs are interrupted but not incapacitated/dead (if enabled)
  • Top and bottom affixes handled reporting for boss fights and end of dungeon (if enabled)
