Any analytics/debug tool ?

Hi,

I don’t know if I am missing something or if it doesn’t exist. I’m trying to find a way to :

  1. See the list of qualities of a given character. Or at least, find what is the value of a given quality for a given character. This is very useful for debugging purposes. I can assign a given value with the debug interface, but not see the current value. Is it on purpose ?

  2. Similarly, as extension, I would like to know how many characters in my world have a certain quality with a certain value or above a certain value. This is also a very valuable information in order to know where are the players, what they are doing, where they are stuck, so that I can provide some help (in terms of gameplay) to “unstuck” them. The only thing I can see is how many players joined the game each month, wghich is useful but far from enough.

If it doesn’t exist, is there any blocking reason or can we expect to have such functionalities later ?

Thanks

There is currently no way to do (1) beyond asking the character’s player for a list.

(I believe you’ll be able to snoop on a character by taking control of them at some point… but I don’t believe that’s in yet. Or particularly advisable given the potential for accidental clicks. Probably best just to ask.)

As for (2), there’s a good hack for it: if you create a Broadcast Living Story requirement for X quality within Y and Z parameters, it’ll tell you how many characters qualify.
