Seeing the Rested status/amount of ALL your toons

[Zub]

Hi all,
just checking interest.

With the upcoming expansion, and for people currently leveling toons, how usefull would it be to have a web page that lists the level, xp and amount of rested xp for each of your toons?

This mainly to show you at a glance which of your teams are 'ready' to play and which should rest a bit, for optimized levelling.


Something like:

 - Soap      level 81    1,874K xp / 3,785K xp   49%       125K Rested (12% of max rested)  
 - Frizza    level 83      114K xp / 4,811K xp    2%         5K Rested (0% of max rested)  
 - Ghur      level 80       124 xp / 3,154K xp    0%     4,652K Rested (FULLY RESTED)  
 - Cian      level 80       124 xp / 3,154K xp    0%     4,652K Rested (FULLY RESTED)  
 - Wazza     level 23       42K xp /    56K xp   80%        80K Rested (FULLY RESTED)  
 ...

(numbers above are obviously all fake)

This would be displayed on a webpage, but would use a tiny wow addon to get the exact in-game values.

Rested values would be updated real-time by calculating the time since the toon was last played and computing the correct rested xp gain
Not sure yet of all the specifics.

Just checking interest before I invest too much time in this.

I might be missing something but doesn't altaholic do the same thing? (in game, not a web page)

Indeed it does. I've always had problem getting it to share across acounts though.

I was thinking of a web page to see the status from anywhere but maybe that's unnecessary..
maybe i can try and extract the info from alto and display it online or something.

I like that a webpage, could divide your toons into teams.

So it could show the Rested levels of groups of toons.
Assuming you could configure it that way.

It would be quite useful for people leveling multiple teams, especially initially.
And would see a spike of use, with each expansion.

I've never got altaholic to share info correctly between accounts either.

This does sound useful for teams

i would like an account where i can just toggle the view on/off to see my teams rested but wouldnt really wana go onto a website to do it

what exactly do you mean by "an account"?
an addon?

[pinki104]

Yeh sorry, apparently iPhone thinks add-on means account :S

[Zub]

So, so far i've come up with this:
my addon retrieves the necessary details (xp, rested etc) and stores them in the SavedVariables file.
Then my web page (local, not online) reads those files and displays the aggregated data as below:



what do you think?

Oh man that is one HELLUVA feature!

Now people with 5x accounts could literally build 10x level 85s on each account, and juggle them around based on rested XP!
