UTC Clock

Alternative UTC Clock



Introduction



It's progression time once again and I'm back with another spreadsheet to track the world class guild's progress and achievements. My name is Fuyri and I have been involved in the running of a 8-man progression tracking system since 2.0 and am providing a similar system for Nightmare Dread Fortress. This time I'll also be working with Lacedaemon of "Drop it like it's Hoth" as I may not be availiable for the next wave of progression and he will be able to take over then.



There have been a few changes to how the spreadsheet works which can be viewed below.

There are also some improvements to the summary page to give better recognition to the world first kills on each boss aswell as the top guilds in each region.





Emergency Rules



Due to a known PTS bug on Brontes there is a requirement that you provide video proof of your kill. If this bug on live is fixed then I will remove this requirement. Two weeks after the first video verified kill has been made I will remove this requirement.





How the tracking tool works



For killing a boss you gain a set 100 points (200 for the final boss). This only requires a basic screenshot verification to be granted.

Bosses also have a bonus of up to 500 points (1000 points for the final boss). The world first kill will be granted this maximum. This requires a full time stamp screenshot verification to be granted.

After a boss has been killed a timer will start, this will decrease the value of bonus points (halving the value every 7 days). While these points are rounded for viewing purposes the spreadsheet does have fractions of points that ensure no two kills score identically and these fractions can add up to an extra point or two in the totals section.

With the speed run returning for NiM this has been included for a base of 100 points and a bonus 100 points that decrease over time from the first kill (halving every 2 weeks).



Verifying boss kills



There are two levels of verification, I recommend everyone follows Time Stamp Verification in order to fully verify their kill and receive a 100% of the points.





Basic Verification



This will only allow you to recieve the base points for any kills.

Take a Screenshot including all the following: The nightmare achievement (in chat or in the acheievment window).

The difficulty of the instance (via loot, achievement or instance setting).

The group/guild that made the kill (not required but will help avoid any disputes).



Full Time Stamp Verification



For this you requre everything from basic verification in addition to the following: This UTC Clock

or

or This UTC Clock Other UTC clocks may be accepted, may be rejected or may be penalised with a time penalty. Do not risk using any other UTC clocks.



Here is an example of a Full Time Stamp Verification Screenshot from





How to take a Time Stamp Verification Screenshot:



Ensure the game client is in Fullscreen (Windowed) mode. This can be set in the Preferences/Graphics menu Click the UTC Clock link here and set the browser window to a size of your preference. Drag UTC time-stamp window over the SWTOR Client window and position it appropriately. On your keyboard, hit CTRL+Print Screen to capture your entire Desktop to your clipboard. In MS Paint, paste the contents of the clipboard (the captured image). Save the image. Alternatively, you can use screen capturing software like SnagIt or Snipping Tool. Snipping Tool is included in Windows 7.



Penalties for not providing the required information:



You need a screenshot of the achievement or kill to get placed on the spreadsheet. No screenshot, no recognition.

A Basic Screenshot will allow you to get the base points for a boss but a Full Time Stamp Screenshot is required to get all availiable points.

Using a UTC clock not listed will be jugded with our discression and may be accepted, rejected or given a time penalty.

No calculating times based from delayed screenshots. If you take a late screenshot of the Achievement + UTC clock, your kill will be verified but the time recorded will be what's shown by the UTC Clock in the screenshot, not what time the Achievement says.

To claim a world first kill you must have a Full Time Stamp Screenshot.



Posting your kills



Include the following items in your post:



Guild Name Guild Website (If you have one) Server Region A link to the verification screenshot for each boss you have defeated.
