Rohar's Roughnecks Character Progress Tracker is the newest Guild Wars Fansite!. The simple web based utility allows you to enter each of your characters and record the level of completion for each mission, vanquished area, treasure chest, and elite skill completed.

An easy to read summary page allows you to quickly determine what characters might need to complete a particular task. Its very useful when you see those "Does anyone need Tahnnakai Temple masters?" messages in guild/alliance chat.

I've added the ability to indicate any vanquished area/mission and/or quest are "locked". This optional feature allows you to fine tune your summary to be able to determine whether your characters may even be able to participate in a group that is forming.

I've also improved the My Elite Skills page so you can view elite skills by Campaign. This will help those of you working on the Skill Hunter title tracks.

I've received a lot of positive feedback relative to the Friends Lists on the Rohar's Roughnecks Character Progress Tracker, the latest Official Fansite of Guild Wars. It turns out that many users either used real names or totally silly names, which now seem inappropriate for use in Friends Lists.

You can now click [Profile] below your name in the left column to edit your online account name.

Nice work thanks rohar! Just found this thread and will start using your tracking site.

I dont know if you could or would, but what about being able to see who hasnt completed what missions, that way people signed up could quite easily form PUGs from your site :P

Thanks again cheers

I've added [Mark ALL Both/Masters/Vanquished] links to each section of the Edit Missions page. This will make it easier to quickly add new characters to the tracker that have already accomplished a lot in the game.

I also fixed some minor bugs that crept in during the "Locked" status update.

Funny you should ask that. One of the things in the back of my mind was to create a "Form PUG" database, where a user could schedule a mission for a date and time and invites would be sent to other user that had characters that needed that mission. I've considered even allowing the party leader to request slots such as 2 monks, 1 necro, 2 elementalists, etc. And the invites would only go to those user that had toons with those professions that needed it.

As it stands right now, I don't believe my website has a large enough user base to justify the time required for that development. With only 600 users, I doubt there would be enough participation for it to be feasible. I will certainly consider implementation if and when the user base expands. (Don't be afraid to help promote the website and thereby expand the user base.)

I've made a few minor improvements to the Rohars Roughnecks Character Progress Tracker

By popular demand I've added the profession type underneath each character your friends have in your "My Friends" lists.

I've also started to add personal preferences to the website. The first is how you view the "My Elite Skills" page. You can set the viewing preferences in your [Profile] then each time you click "My Elite Skills" from the menu board, that page will display in your preferred format.

I've updated the official Guild Wars Fansite Rohar's Roughnecks Character Progress Tracker as follows:

I've added the ability to track the explorable GW:EN dungeons as indicated on the Master Dungeon Guide. I've also added tracking for all 25 Heroes in the game.

Since their are now 16 different groups being track, I've added Shortcut links to the Character Mission edit, My Mission, and My Friends missions pages.

Happy Tracking!

Love the site ^.^

I would like to suggest a simple but effective thing to fill up the elite things.

Add a "Mark All for Prophecies" "Mark All For Nightfall" "Mark All for Factions" "Mark All this Profession"

I say this since i clear one profession at a time, or one chapter at a time, and will be easier

Sry for my english.

I've added a couple functionality upgrades to the tracker today:
1. Added number complete to the character edit pages for missions and elite skills (to help Protector/Guardian/Vanquisher title hunters).
2. Added Title Hunter sorting of Elite Skills update page.
3. Added [Mark All Capped] links to Elite Skills update pages.
4. Added*BUG FIX* Page viewing settings from [Profile] now work properly.

Cred to Xandros for the suggestion that led to update 2 & 3 above.

The Rohar's Roughnecks' Character Progress Tracker, an official fansite of Guild Wars, has been updated to allow you to separate your characters across multiple GW accounts. This has been done to accommodate the new Title Tracking feature, that has also just been implemented. Only a few titles are available, but new titles will be added often during the coming days.

Thanks, Rohar. I really like the tracker stats. It gives me ideas as to what is "difficult".

Elonian Cartographer Title Track only accepts whole numbers instead of decimals. The tool looks great and I can't wait to get more into it.

Actually, it was accepting your decimals, but not displaying it. I've corrected the problem and thank you very much for the heads up.

The Rohar's Roughnecks Character Progress tracker now allows you to track all the titles in the game for each of your characters. The account based titles are automatically updated for each of your characters on your account. If you have multiple accounts, be sure to split your characters up by account in the [My Profile] page.

I've updated Rohar's Roughnecks Character Progress Tracker to include the 5 portions of Slaver's Exile.

I've also fixed a few problems. Legendary Vanquisher title tracking now works properly. Also, there was a problem with how new characters were being created by those of you using multiple account tracking. This issue has been fixed.

I've added GW:EN Vanquisher area tracking to the Rohars Roughnecks Character Progress Tracker.

Also, a few of you have mentioned that its difficult to navigate to the bottom of the My Missions and My Elite Skills page and keep an eye on which character is which. To help ease this navigation I've added the ability to change the "background color" of each character you track. Click on the little green [?] button next to a character name on your My Characters page and select one of the pre-defined colors. I used the standard profession background colors developed at Guild Wars Wiki.

Happy Tracking!

That's a good idea, Cherno. I just implemented it. Go to your My Characters page, select the green [?] button and add your creation dates. The "My Characters" page will then give you a countdown to b-day present! :wink:

One thing - the main mission editing page (which is now expanded to include vanquishing, elite missions, dungeons, chests etc. etc.) - is a bit of a pain when you're entering an established character with a lot of progress. When you've ticked the boxes for which missions you've completed (or whatever) the Update... button refreshes and takes you to the top of the screen, making it a very lengthy process.

Actually, I didn't check to see if all the update buttons were the same or if they were independant to each section, BUT it would be nice to have a "master" update button so you could go from top to bottom ticking every accomplishment and THEN hitting update right at the end.

Nice piece of work though!

{edit}bugger - I just checked, and any update button updates EVERYTHING! Could have saved myself a whole heap of bother

Works great, but it needs something more pleasing to the eyes IMO...

I enjoy adding functionality requested by users of the site. Unfortunately, graphic design is not my forte. I DO have a complete GUI revamp on my list of things to do, which I hope to have a "tabbed based" navigation system. Also, when I first created the site, I knew people would fear it was some sort of "account stealer" so I purposely created it without javascript, cookies or other client side widgets to provide a better security profile to outside users. Since, Arenanet has declared it an official fansite, I can implement a more dynamic interface (once I really learn style sheets, of course

I didn't intend to rant, but I know the site is visually dry, and acknowledge it could be more appealing. Just don't expect to see major visual improvements any time soon.

Hey, maybe you could put out an appeal to any css gurus for help - I'm sure there's plenty.

Unless you want to keep it 100% your baby, of course

Oh, by the way - there's a typo in the Vanquisher tracks:

Code:
Tyrian Vanquisher [0]
No Title Earned.
19 exlorable areas vanquished.
You need 35 more exlorable areas vanquished for the next level.
(Appears in all three tracks plus the Legendary)

Needs moar p, imo ^^

Thanks Snograt. I corrected the typo's. I'm certainly willing to accept help, but I'd also like to learn CSS. Simple laziness is the only thing that has prevented me from taking on that project.
