1. Ability to broadcast the waitlist to guild or officer chat (and to automatically broadcast when someone is added or removed from the wl)

2. Ability to export xml string for individual bosses

3. Syncing with other raid officers using the addon (item drops/attendance/current waitlist)

4. Ability to send WL broadcasts to a custom channel and recieve checkins from out of guild alts for their main

5. A plain text/bbcode export that summarizes the combined attendance time and wl time for each person for the night:

Name (Time in Raid/Standby)
Larry (4:05)
Moe (4:03)
Curly (4:03)
Tom (4:03)
Jerry (4:03)
Joe (3:15)
Bob (2:55)
Jay (1:05)
...
etc.

Only thing I can advise if you want to use EQDKP plus and Headcount to use time-based stuff is the following: Add an event that has the complete DKP (IE: 4 hours + bonus for on time). Upon importing you add a new raid that has all those people in that raid. After that just add a DKP adjustment if somebody only attended 2 hours.

Granted, I adjusted EQDKP to only count that starting raid for attendance and also automatic makes that starting raid upon importing.

There is also DKPLogParser project.. But it is a very powerful and complex app.

Indivudual boss exort during the raid. This will make sure people can update the DKP on the go (more work for us DKP admins though).

Synchronise with other people in the raid.

Those are my only two wishes for the new version.

Sounds like just as much work, but coming from the other side of things.

I hope Kagaro gets some ideas for HC2 from my use case example :p

Also, I'd like to third the syncing suggestion: it's a must. We lose NRT data at least once a month due to our guild leader DCing before she can export it to eqDKP.

3. Syncing with other raid officers using the addon (item drops/attendance/current waitlist)

To clarify, this should be Raid Leader or Assists, correct?

Good question. It should probably have options to go on either a selection of guild ranks, and/or people with Raid Leader / Assist access in the raid, and/or a specific list of people by name.

Maybe the addon could use the raid and guild addon communication channels to discover who else is using the addon, and then query the user as to whether they should be allowed to sync data for the current raid.

I raid with an alliance of guilds using eqdkp 1.3RCC. Currently, all data is entered manually which is causing a lot of errors, etc. I'm promoting the use of Headcount as a better management tool, but they have some questions.

Will it work in a multi-guild alliance environment?

Is anyone using eqdkp 1.3 today with headcount successfully?

Any help would be appreciated.

Suggestion for the loot tracking part of it: find a way to identify loot that was DE'ed as such. It can be marked as such, or we could enter a specific name for the deisgnated enchanter at the start of every raid. Though that last part assumes there'd be a way to differentiate between valid loot that the enchanter won and loot that's just being DE'ed (prompt user whenever that person gets loot?).

Whats the difference between marking loot as disenchanted, and NOT disenchanted? either way you are marking the loot.

Clearly it's something that applies to my guild only, not everyone, but yeah I have a need for it. The difference being that the guild gets the shards and nobody gets loot (no bids). For tracking purposes, it's easier for me. No big deal, either way.

Has anyone managed to make the Caches in Ulduar track the kills of Hodir, Freya, Mimiron and Kologarn reliably? I've tried the 'patch' from WoWI but we're still having issues with it.

Unless I'm not understand your request, you can already mark items as Disenchanted.

They need to be triggered by the boss yells are you on the english locale?

Yes, I am. I've reinstalled the 'patch' and will try again this week and perhaps take a few screenies if I remember.

Didn't see that. I'll check again. Thanks.

Ok I see it. I was more thinking of the loot announce to other channels as it happens rather than assigning after the fact.

I did'nt found any code for boss yell triggers inside. For me it look like HC is not possible to detect boss enconters, which are no boss kills (Hodir,Thorim, Freya, Mimiron), atm.
For this there are some cache/box names, localized too, but the "mousover" part to detect them is still TODO.

Still having the same issues with the kills that aren't 'kills'. It makes looting on those bosses a real pain.

As workaround I am stop/starting a new raid ahead of these Boss fights. So I only have to rename the Trash mob to the boss's name (Inside EQDKP Import Plugin, using one Raid per Boss).
