@Taransworld (Taran) posted a new topic, subject "GoW Utilities webpage". It read:

   @everyone, over time I have been working on a utilities page for GoW. I just finished what I feel will be very useful to all you so here it is. http://www.taransworld.com
    
    On my website you will find Troop Spoilers, this is automatically pulled data from GoW to show you what might be coming. There is close to 50 troops, some with all the information you could want others with just a hint. Every time we get a GoW update this page will automatically show troop changes and graphics. The Chest page will show you the odds of getting a particular troop you want and the history of the chest over time. This can be useful to find out when a troop came out or more importantly before you spend keys making sure a troop you want is in the chest. Finally, the Guild Ranking History for the top 50 guilds. This will update multiple times a day so you can watch to see how your guild is doing all week long.
    
    I really hope you enjoy these GoW utilities.

    p.s. The spoilers page was just finished a few hours ago so if there are any issues please let me know. I hope to add more features to the existing pages and new utilities over time.

    Awesome work @Taransworld!
    
    It's been great beta-testing this stuff inside the guild

@KaisuiFox replied

    Awesome work Taran!
    
    Just one of the many benefits of our amazing guild!

To which @Silvergem replied

    That is really damn nice.  
    Thank you for putting the work into this.

So @turintuor (Turin Tuor) replied

    Very nice tool  . Thanks.

To which @turintuor (Turin Tuor) replied

    About spoilers, you should generate the informations automatically, so not sure if you can correct but:
    
      * Penglong should be an Epic, not a Legendary (he's the quest troop, and quest troops are Epic)
      * Skadi's arcanes are the same than Abynissia, so not sure if it's going to stay like that.
      * Gorgantaur's 3rd trait could be this one: Orc Might: Gain 8 to a random skill when I take damage to Life.
    
    
    
    Is it okay if I can use these informations for the spreadsheet?

To which @Lyya (Emily) replied

    I think @Taransworld is getting the data from the same place I am, so as long as he's keeping that site up to date, it'll be as accurate a set of info as any I could provide. Also, Skadi's Arcanes aren't available yet, so @Taransworld is inferring from a data source that has been incorrect in the past; it may be correct, and it may not be.
    
    In any case, great work on the utilities page! Should be a must-bookmark for any dedicated player.

So @Melissa96 (Nothing in the World) replied

    hope you can add more language option on the website in future.it will help more players in the world😆

Then @Rickygervais said

    > 
    
    
    As for Penglong, I am just pulling data from GoW files and displaying it. I could write code saying if it is a quest troop change it to Epic but I'm not sure that would represent what they have. I'm thinking the GoW dev team will sooner or later make a choice and will either change the rarity to Epic in the game files or if they really want it to be legendary they will move it to a K30_xx location instead of Quest. I'm thinking being we know they will make a change but we aren't sure in what way it would be best to leave it alone.
    
    On comments 2 and 3, again that is what the devs have set and with those two even if we know they will change it we don't know for sure to what. It's most likely safest to show what is in the files and let people make best guesses if it is going to be different (any coding I would do to address this would possibly mess up future cards.
    
    These are just my thoughts on how to handle this, I am open to different ideas though…

So @Taransworld (Taran) replied

    @Lyya, @turintuor, @Silvergem, @KaisuiFox, and @Bear, thank you very much for the nice words. I've enjoyed putting together this site and I'm glad people are enjoying it. 
    
    Thanks again.

    Melissa96:
    
    > hope you can add more language option on the website in future.it will help more players in the world😆
    
    GoW has their data in Spanish, Russian, Italian, German, French and English so I think I could add language options in the near future. I'm not going to be around much for a few days but maybe when I get back I can look at this closer. 
    
    Thanks for the suggestion.

To which @Taransworld (Taran) replied

    @Melissa96, I don't think I will have time to finish this over the weekend and if we want every word on the page to change to the select language I might need help from someone that knows all the languages but here is a start:

    FYI: I've added a couple things to the spoiler page. One is Language icons to quickly change languages from the main page (more language support coming over time). The second thing is thumbnails so you can see a small image of the picture before opening it. Enjoy.

    Added ability to change total guilds shown on Taransworld Guild Rankings page. Guilds shown can now range between 100 and 2000.

To which @Taransworld (Taran) replied

    Today I've added a new way to look at guild rankings. For the past year or more, we have had three different ways, including Guild Ranks by Trophies, by PVP Leaderboard, and by Weekly Events. Now we have a fourth way which is by the guild level. This page is very similar to the Taransworld Guild Rankings page you are used to, except it will now show the guilds level and weekly level change rate. This page was requested by @awryan, and I agreed it would be fun to have a fourth way to evaluate the progress of guilds. Enjoy the new page. 
    
    * * *

After which, @actreal added

    Absolutely awesome feature, but I don't get how the ranking works - what is it ranked on? It's not ordered by guild levels or weekly change?
    
    Edit: I've worked it out. Rank is based on total trophies - not sure if this is intentional or not.

    actreal:

    You can sort by level.  
    Then on the left the “Line” can be considered the level Rank. While the next column is the trophy Ranks.

Then @actreal said

    Indeed, but the current basis means that the “top 100” appearing by default are not the top 100 by guild level, so even when sorting by level, you don't necessarily get the actual 100 guilds with highest levels.
    
    You can still acquire the actual top 100 by selecting top 500 and then sorting by level, but it seems a bit roundabout compared to sorting by guild level to start with.

@Live (Live) replied

    I thought everyone forgot long time ago a guild level even exists, someone should inform the devs about it

@Taransworld (Taran) replied

    @actreal, I default sorted them by the same rank that is in the game. Yes, that is based on trophies, but I figured we needed a base that everyone knew, and then they can re-sort the columns anyway they wanted. 
    
    Sorry for any confusion.

So @awryan (fAWRmily GM) replied

    Live:
    
    > I thought everyone forgot long time ago a guild level even exists, someone should inform the devs about it 
    
    Levels last week =  
      
    So we gave it purpose. (After 6? Years of existence.)
    
    If you know the “secret” formula. You can figure out how many legendary tasks a guild is doing based on how many levels they have gained that week.

So @Taransworld (Taran) replied

    Hi everyone,
    
    I want to introduce our newest service, Streamer notifications. This service is customizable to allow the Discord Admin installing it to have control over what streamers are announced. In the Webhook dashboard, you can select just a few streamers to be announced or allow all streamers to be announced except maybe a few you dislike. With this dashboard you can also go back and edit your announcement options as often as you would like.
    
    Special thanks to our beta testers Cat, Ordinator, Hoeshy, PkFlash, and DannyDabberino.
    
    Webhook Dashboard link: https://www.taransworld.com/webhooks/  
    Enjoy the new service.

@Taransworld (Taran) replied

    Oh, one thing to add to this. With the above webhook dashboard, you can also sign up for Official Gems of War news or Taransworld Spoiler updates to be sent directly to your Discord server (channel of your choice).

Then @DigitalWar669 said

    Clicking on the first three guilds on xbox I see no data. Not sure if it's just my machine or not.

Then @Taransworld (Taran) said

    Ya, the chart needs to collect a few weeks data so there won't be anything there for another week or two.

So @Taransworld (Taran) replied

    Hi all,
    
    I just wanted to announce a few additions to our Taransworld Gems of War Discord bot. All these additions are to the admin menu in the bot.
    
    The first new commands are “usersWithRole” and “usersWithoutRole”. These commands do exactly as they sound. If you run “usersWithRole” followed by a role name, it will return a list of users with that role. Similarly, if you run the command “usersWithoutRole” followed by a role name, it will return a list of users that do not have that role.
    
    The second command added could be useful to admins _(on rare occasions)_ . The Taransworld bot command is slowmode, which will quickly let you change one or more channels to slowmode. What this means is you can specify how often a user can type a message _(in seconds)_ . An example, if slowmode is set to 30 seconds, and I typed a message, I would have to wait 30 seconds to type another message.
    
    The third command added is modRole, which will allow you to give your Discord moderators bot admin access. What this means is _(if assigned)_ , your moderators can now run any Taransworld admin bot commands such as the recent usersWithRoles, slowmode, and more.
    
    I hope these new Discord bot commands come in thomas22@example.net.
    
    Taran

So @Taransworld (Taran) replied

    Hi everyone,
    
    Today I've put back up most of Taransworld web pages. This is primarily because GuildView wasn't going to be replaced by other developers. I didn't want to leave the GM's without tools to help manage their guild however this meant I wasn't retiring as planned. For a while, I thought I would just run GuildView but keeping the server and the GoW scripts running; there wasn't much point hiding the other pages.
    
    Sorry if this all feels wishy-washy. I really had every intention to retire from this, but you know how retirement goes…

Then @Tabu (Tabu) said

    Do you have a Patreon or another way to receive some donations?
    
    Edit: I guess I should have looked first

To which @Mana_Surgeon (Mana Surgin') replied

    Thanks for bringing the site back! There are several good sites out there for the game, but yours and GOWDB actually enhance the experience of playing GoW. The news made my day.
