Titan Development Log

Each collapsed Leaderboard widget now shows the leading character’s current portrait immediately beside their name and total. Names use the same portrait-based character colors as the rest of the website, both in widget headers and expanded ranking rows. The compact headers retain the existing expand-and-shrink controls and mobile layout. GM characters remain excluded.

GM characters are now excluded from every Leaderboard ranking and the homepage World Leaders spotlight. The exclusion is applied when the server reads the records, so GM entries are not sent to the browser. The optional GM checkbox has been removed, and rankings and tied positions now use only eligible player characters.

Leaderboard was missing the shared page panel, leaving its width, background and padding different from the other pages. It now uses the same centered page container. Category buttons sit directly below the introduction and use the shared anchor-navigation layout, with the same wrapping and mobile spacing. Each button still expands its matching ranking widget and scrolls to it. Opening Leaderboard from the menu also returns to the top when no section link is selected.

A compact World Leaders widget now sits below the homepage server statistics. Every five seconds it picks the next category from a shuffled rotation and shows a current leader’s portrait, name and saved total. Tied leaders share the spotlight, categories with no recorded activity are skipped, and GM characters are marked. Click the widget to open Leaderboard.

The widget uses the same gold hover highlight as the nearby homepage panels. Hovering or focusing it holds the current leader, and the Pause button lets you stop or resume rotation. Rankings refresh once per minute while Home is visible; the five-second rotation uses the loaded rankings rather than making a new request each time. Totals retain the saved-record and kill-credit limitations explained on Leaderboard.

Leaderboard is now available below Adventurers in the World menu, using the new trophy icon. Each of its 17 categories has its own collapsible widget and section button: achievement points plus all 16 Accolades counters. Search for an adventurer, sort each ranking by most, fewest or character name, and open a profile from its current portrait or name. Rankings include all current Titan characters; GM characters are marked and can be hidden.

Achievement points use the same evaluation as character profiles. The page refreshes saved rankings once per minute, with ten adventurers per page in each category. Equal values share a rank, and name searches keep that rank visible. Character counters save when zoning or leaving the game. Approximate steps measure rounded movement distance; monster defeats credit the claim owner, while recorded NM kills credit one character rather than every party or alliance member and cover the available recorded history. Chat-message and GM-call totals display counts only.

Accolades now appears directly below Equipment on character profiles, with its own section button and a compact grid of 16 saved counters. You can see monster defeats, recorded NM kills and different NM types, approximate steps, knockouts, combat engagements, spells, abilities, weapon skills, item uses, NPC interactions, party and alliance joins, Mog House visits, chat-message counts and GM-call counts. Hover over a counter for its explanation; chat messages and GM requests themselves are never displayed.

These are saved records rather than live totals: character counters update when zoning or leaving the game. Steps come from rounded movement distances. Monster defeats credit the claim owner, while NM records attribute each kill to one character rather than every party or alliance participant. NM totals cover the available recorded history, not a reconstructed lifetime total.

Equipment now appears directly below Overview on every character profile. The section buttons follow the same order, so the Equipment shortcut is also immediately after Overview. The remaining sections keep their existing order and expand-and-shrink controls.

Fishing no longer appears twice on character profiles. Fieldcraft now shows only Titan’s custom Mining, Logging and Excavation mastery, while Fishing stays under Professions with its existing skill value. The duplicate Fishing explanation has also been removed from Fieldcraft. No skills or character data have changed.
