The weapon family, even when the gear was never seen
Sometimes the game never sends the meter what a player is wearing. The meter then works out the weapon from the abilities that player used. Up to 0.1.16, in that case the family tag under the weapon said “seen in combat” instead of the family.
From 0.1.17 it shows the real family: a Master’s Weeping Repeater identified in combat shows Crossbow, a Bear Paws shows Axe. The equipment table still marks those weapons as seen in combat, next to the weapon name, where it belongs.
If you use the desktop app, it downloads 0.1.17 by itself.
Session links with their own picture
When you paste a session link on Discord, X or WhatsApp, the preview used to be the same AlbionLab banner for every session. Now each public session has its own picture: the run name, date, length and number of players, the party’s damage, healing and DPS, and the top 5 by damage with their weapons.
The picture follows the session’s privacy: hidden names stay blurred, Hide other players’ names is respected, and private sessions keep the default banner.
Discord remembers the preview of a link that was already posted. To see the new picture on an old link, post it again with something at the end, like ?1.
Focus on one weapon family
Under the session chart there is now a row with the weapon families used in the run, with how many players used each one. Click one and the chart, the interval list and the item breakdown count only what those weapons did.
It looks at every weapon a player used, not only the main one. In the 25 October raid, KPey shows up under Holy Staff with the 494K healing done with it, and Edsonjds shows up under both Crossbow and Axe. Players outside the focus stay in the lists, dimmed, so the totals still add up. Click the family again to clear it, or pick more than one.
You can try it on the 25 October raid.
