Are these supposed to be updated when you log out, when you log back in again or every ??hrs?
Been 8hrs+ for an update so far for one of mine.

What time zone are the times based on for Last Saved etc?

Is Facilities Captured a new feature that is not updated for all players yet?
I see a lot of 0 captures for people that must have captured something.

Yeah, it still seems a bit buggy. My "facilities captured" was showing up fine a day or so ago, but now it's gone back to showing "0" again.

(Mine is also about 24 hours out of date now too).

They say the API is suppose to update when you logout, if it doesn't it is hung up on their end.

Not sure what timezone, looks to be pacific maybe.

Facilities was broken, now it is updating, but requires people to login or otherwise trigger a data update for it to populate.

Think they'll ever show who we killed and who killed us, lol?

I know they must have that data, and while it may be overwhelming once your kills and deaths exceed a couple of hundred, it would still be fun to see who your nemesis is and who you rule over.

Maybe they can filter out just the top ten who you killed the most and top ten who killed you the most, lol. That would be fun to see and be shamed over.

SKYeXile · 2012-11-27, 08:35 PM

doesn't look to have updated in like 36 hours.

Ghryphen · 2012-11-27, 08:37 PM

Updates are going to be intermittent this week as they work on the API according to SOE.

Yep what Gryphon said, this is why it's not ready for prime time yet. They are still getting things fixed up

CasualCat · 2012-11-28, 07:54 AM

Does the data link allow you to access aggregate weapon data or just character data? Would love to see accuracy and kill numbers for the A30 walker. I suspect they're some of the worst in the game.

Hamma · 2012-11-28, 08:44 AM

Yes that data is out there as well

Well what Hamma showed is weapon information. As far as how much it has been used, that is not readily available. We can see how much each character used the A30 Walker and compile it all, but it would only be from the characters looked up on stats.

I lied, I am passing them through the vBulletin date function, so it should be in whatever timezone you have set in your options.

Where can I apply for early access to the PlanetSide 2 API?

I just noticed you added a lot more info to the data sheet, very interesting. Apparently i've killed buttloads more VS than TR, which is surprising.

Though any chance we can get our own faction recorded on the little pie chart and class kill chart thingies? Is that information recorded at all? Just curious if we can see how many times we've accidentally killed allies in comparison.

Ok thanks.
