It’s no secret that Kronos is the most advanced server on the vanilla scene. However, we’re not the type to rest on our laurels. This week, the development team (and more specifically, Eclipse) is pleased to bring, not one, but two new features to the project. Both of these features are focused around providing you with as much information as possible about the ingame activities of yourselves, your friends and your foes.

Boss Kills

The first of these is Boss Kills. This fantastic tool can be used to see when your guild, or others, killed a boss, while also looking in depth at the fight itself. You can see who did the most DPS, most healing, at what point in an encounter somebody died, how many attempts it took to get a boss down and so much more. All of this is accessible by simply clicking on the “detail” link next to a fight on the “latest boss kills” page.

Ultimately, how you use this information (or don’t) is entirely upto you but we feel, along with those who have tested it, that it’s a great addition to the project and will benefit many of our players when analyzing their performance on specific encounters within raids. We would love to hear your feedback on this, so let us know how you use it and why!

Honor Standings

This tool gives you a quick insight into exactly how far along the legendary “grind for rank 14” you are, while also showing you how far ahead of (or behind) your competition you are. Now you can see who is vying for ranks with you, without having to inspect every player that goes within a 100 yard radius of a battlemaster!

Of course, both of these tools are still in beta but we were anxious to show them to you, so please make sure that you let us know what you think of them and how we can improve them further. For now though, we feel that they are excellent additions to the project.

Finally…

We are pleased to announce that we have two new developers on the Kronos team. They are currently finding their feet within the project and have recently started to fix the bugs that you are reporting. So, if you do find something that seems a little off, be sure to register a bug report. The developers will then investigate the issue and resolve it, should it be found to be “non-blizzlike”. If you are not sure how to make a bug report, we highly recommend that you read this post from our colleagues on the Cataclysm realm. All of the specifics are almost identical, so it should get you heading in the right direction.

There’s so much more to come from Kronos in the coming months, including one particular feature that is exclusive to us, which will get players back into the vanilla spirit from the moment they decide to play on our server, while also reaffirming our status as the most advanced vanilla project in the world.

We’re truly excited about the quality that we are able to bring to you and thank you for your continued support.
