Activity Info Beyond PGCR #792

Open N0tW1tty opened 5 years ago

N0tW1tty commented 5 years ago

Is it possible to retrieve the full killfeed of a PvP match? The Post Game Carnage Report details everyone's kills count, but the data I'm actually after is the ways in which each player died. Thanks in advance :)

It is not currently. There’s another open issue requesting that information as well, but IIRC the summary of their current position is “we don’t track that today; we have taken note of your desire for this; we have not committed to doing it at this time”. (I’m not Bungie.)

I wish we could do so, that would be fantastic!

It's been on my wish list for a long time, but unfortunately it would require both upfront and ongoing costs and time that are pretty hard in the face of all the other work we'd have to do.

We'd need to bring in engineers from almost every discipline to work on the integration: client-side, server-side, stats backend, design, folks working on the physical network infrastructure to handle the increased server requirements that would come from relaying all of this live data, and then finally us folks over on BNet working on the API to stitch it all together. Those other folks we'd depend on for that integration are swamped with work for the core game and its mechanics itself, which is why this has always been a "we'd love to have it but we don't think we likely will" situation.

But it is indeed in the backlog as a wishlist item! I just don't have high hopes for it ever being greenlit unfortunately due to all those costs and all that time it would take.

On the same note, you know those stats that get shown when you fail to kill a boss in a raid? The damage numbers and other random things you guys deemed important. It'd be great to have access to the data for each boss kill in the PGCR. We've purposely wiped after getting a boss to practically no hp just to see the numbers.
