Updates

An unsigned uploader

• The uploader no longer installs its own updates: when a newer version is out it says so, and Update to that version opens the download page. The code signature was the only thing that proved who built a download, and paying for it was dropped on cost grounds. uploader
• Windows now names no publisher for the uploader, so it warns the first time you run it; every release publishes the file's SHA-256 beside it, which shows a download arrived whole. uploader

Your story, shared

• Saga Wrapped: your month, your year or your whole story on one card made for a screenshot, with a few lines on how you play. in game
• Share puts a line about your own character into your chat box; you pick the channel and press Enter, or don't. in game
• Your own drop rates on tooltips: which creatures dropped an item for you and how often, and what a creature drops for you. in game
• Endgame has Keys (each dungeon's best, runs and trend, and your lowest best) and PvP (each ladder's rating, high, win rate, streak and specs, with a rating line). in game
• The ledger remembers where you left it and which tab you were on, resizes from its corner, and has a compact mode. in game
• Move the pace strip, toasts and recap card with /saga layout, or the game's Edit Mode where it allows it; /saga reset positions puts them back. in game
• Install sagaledger.com on your phone as an app: Add to Home Screen on iPhone, Install app on Android. site

More in game

• Vs Top has three views: Gear puts your biggest upgrades first and folds away what you already match, Stats says where your biggest gap is, and Build shows their gems, embellishments and races with icons. in game
• Vs Top shows gear the top players actually wear: their usual tier pieces in their usual slots and at most two embellishments, and it never tells you to break your set bonus. in gamesite
• Characters: every character on the account on one screen; click one to open its ledger. in game
• Charts: time per level against your median, gold over sessions, when you play, where you die, key levels and rating. in game

• Hover a term in the ledger for a one-line explanation. in game

A clearer companion

• Time on a level is now the time you actually played, not counting time logged out. in game
• The session card recaps your last real session, never a quick relog, and the Sessions list tucks short ones away. in game

• Escape closes the session card, and the ledger fits on smaller screens. in game

• A dot on Updates when there is something new here, gone once you have read it. site

Sturdier recording and uploads

• A pile of auction-house scans waiting to upload no longer stops XP, quests and deaths from being recorded. in game

A ledger you can read at a glance

• Your page opens on what you play: levelling, Mythic+ or PvP sections first, with links to jump to each one. site
• Your best key, rating or level up top, with the small facts as chips beneath it. site
• Every Mythic+ key on one timeline, and your rating over time for each PvP bracket. site

The roadmap grows

• Nineteen things on the roadmap, from drop rates pooled from everyone's loot to Saga Wrapped and a stream overlay. +1 what you want first. site

Who the best players are

• Against the best and Vs Top show which races and faction the top players of your spec pick. sitein game
• What they run: the top players' hero talents and their most-used builds, with a Copy button to import each build straight into the game; in PvP, the PvP talents they pick. site
• The home page no longer stutters as its numbers count up. site
• The top builds drawn on the real talent trees -- class, hero and spec side by side, as Wowhead does -- with every talent's tooltip on hover, a Copy button and a link to Wowhead's calculator for each. site

Every creature named

• Your nemesis and the creatures in your loot are named in the in-game ledger, even ones you never targeted, from the names the site already knows. in gameuploader
• In Against the best, the comparison opens right beside the item you point at. site
• When you play is drawn in your own time zone; a Retail character no longer shows Forever's ruleset; sections with nothing to draw yet stay hidden; your totals leave the demo characters out. site

Your items, exactly

• Saga now records what is on your gear: enchants, gems, random suffixes ("of the Monkey") and, on Retail, the exact version of each item. in game
• Your gear on the site shows each item as you wear it, and comparing with the top players is exact on your side too. site

Forever in numbers grows, and time played in days

• Forever in numbers now shows which races people play, and Horde against Alliance. site
• Until enough players have recorded a section, Forever in numbers, the cohort and groups show a clearly marked example of what they will look like. site
• Time played reads in days, hours and minutes, as /played does. sitein game

What to do next, and a place to ask

• Your next upgrades: your biggest gains against the top players first, and where to go for them -- a dungeon, crafting orders, the Catalyst or a PvP vendor. In Against the best on the site, and behind the Next upgrades button in Vs Top in game. sitein game
• This Updates page: what is new, what is coming (+1 what you want most), and a box to ask for anything. site

Connect in one click, and what the best put on their gear

• The uploader connects by code: choose Connect with Battle.net, approve the code in your browser, done. No key to copy or paste. uploadersite
