Warcraft Logs
is always innovating new features to make our lives easier, with a whole line of
stream and competition resources
specifically built for events like the Race to World first.
One of their newest resources is the
Time Machine
, giving a look back in time. Similar to other leaderboard widgets which show ranking changes, recent kills, and best % for the current state of progression, the Time Machine also shows what the leaderboard looked like 12 or 24 hours ago. Perfect for an event like the Race to World First, showing the difference between now and then allows casters to discuss changes in the race and give context since the previous day, without having to watch 24/7.
Background image not included, the actually widget is partially transparent, so you can put it on top of whatever you want!
Like most of Warcraft Logs tools, the Time Machine widget can be embed into streams and websites, with a full suite of customizations. Stream viewers even can interact with the Time Machine using the chat commands to see what progress has been made in the last 12 or 24 hours!
The base URL is
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/embed/time-machine-competition-summary/latest
and there are several URL parameters you can use to customize it:
timeMachineCompetition
This lets you change the time period that is used for comparison. A default of 10001 gives 24 hours, and a value of 10002 gives 12 hours.
numberOfGuilds
The number of guilds to show in the time machine. Defaults to 5.
startingRank
The top rank guild to show. Defaults to 1. For example, if you want to see guilds rank 12, 13, 14, & 15, you would set startingRank=12 and numberOfGuilds=4. Note that you cannot view guilds past rank 20.
zoom
Lets you easily magnify the widget. Recommended value of 2 for stream embeds. Defaults to 1 (ideal for embedding in a webpage). Note that mouse-over tooltips are only shown when not zoomed.

TIME MACHINE CHAT COMMAND
We also offer some very interesting chat commands that will let a viewer see how much progress has been made in either the last 24 hours or the last 12 hours. The responses are of the form:
Last 24 hours: Progressed Halondrus from 62.4% to 12% over an additional 102 pulls (277 pulls total). Defeated Lihuvim after 45 pulls, and Pantheon after 56 pulls.
Add the 24 hour version with:
!commands add !24hours $(urlfetch
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/time-machine/<guild-id>?timeMachineCompetition=10001
)
And the 12 hour version with:
!commands add !12hours $(urlfetch
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/time-machine/<guild-id>?timeMachineCompetition=10002
)
Remember to replace <guild-id> with your guild's ID, which can be found at the end of the URL by visiting the guild on
Warcraft Logs
.
