I hope someone will pick this up for MoP :) Please!

Joschasa,

I've really missed EG and your fork works great! Why don't you take over the project officially?

@Joschasa

Thanks for your work.

Im also trying to keep this addon running. If you want to test this or help developing or something, its hosted at github, so everybody can view/dl/fork/pullrequest/open issues/...

https://github.com/Joschasa/Elitist-Group

I've tried to enhance the old version of Elitist Groups (using the fan update) using the statistics page from the last patch .

Currently I've got it mostly working, with the Troll Dungeons, Heroic Dungeons, and Raids for this tier all up in the experience tab. I've modified the Suggested Dungeons bit as well to accommodate the change in level requirements for this expansion, and tried to modify some spell changes and item attributes (such as removing Armor Penetration).

In some areas I've hit some snags, such as trying to implement Relics as another item piece, as opposed to a unique spell modifier (like in Wrath). As such, there are some areas that items will be listed as "Unknown." If any experienced authors want to take a look at the item_data.lua file and mess around with it be my guest. I've also noticed that items (like those which drop off of Conclave and Al'Akir) are having some issues being identified by the UI, always listing as Unknown due to variable stat change.

In the future, and assuming I become more experienced at this, I'd like to add a tool for checking reforges, but that atm is way out of my league. For now I'll keep it stable and focus on keeping it more and less of the same.

Here's the file, but like the author below me stated, I'm a random guy on the internet. Don't trust me without getting proof I'm legitimate first, and YMMV as always.

@Emm np! The item level modifiers are actually explained above in the "Item Level" section. It seems it was done a long, long time ago to prevent a weighting of items with the same item level but different qualities. There are still items that are the same ilvl but different qualities, but they should be fairly similar in stats.

Some thought will go into the updates for judging gear when the time comes.

@ sarf2 Thank you so much for the update. I will spread the word that it is here. Ive been checking every so often to see if someone had done it.

@ magumba thanks for the fix. This was a problem in the previous release too, I'm glad to see a fix!. I didn't notice it so often, but every once in a while I remember noticing things that were differant. It had to be pre this release, but it may have been post 4.0, However I dont think so, because as I recall EG didnt work at all post 4.0

Thanks very much for your update sarf! I can confirm that it does indeed function in 4.0.3a.

I had 1 problem though. The itemlevel info was not working properly. There is a function used to calculate an item score based on level and quality. Not really sure if that was the intention, or it it's intent was to do something like a gear score, but I use EG for looking at item level. It's especially useful now with the functionality of the built in "Item level" score, since that is NOT based on what you are currently wearing.

Here is the "fix" I have to get the items to print their REAL item levels.
ElitistGroup.lua - line 323
Change this line from
    return itemLevel * (self.Items.qualityModifiers[itemQuality] or 1)
to
    return itemLevel

This changes all of the item level printing in both the user frame and summary frames to be the correct item level values and averages. If you prefer how it is and printing the "score", that's fine, but item levels come out as a percentage when they are not epics. (i.e. ilvl 333 = 316 in EG). Maybe it's always been that way, I don't really know.

There are updates needed for the higher gear levels and making them the correct colors. My avg right now is 334 and it show sup as purple, which is not correct. If I come up with something in that area, I will post it, but for now it at least will give real levels with this change.

I've made a fan-update to 4.0 for EG. It should work, but as always, YMMV.

Also, since I am a random person on the internet, make sure to check the files you get from me with your favourite anti-virus scanner etc.

ElitistGroup v1.7.7.1 patched for 4.0.3.

I miss Elitist Group. :( It was the better alternative to GearScore.

Sad to hear ElitistArmory will no longer be around. I was a huge fan, and it was very helpful for me in organizing PUGs. Thanks for doing this while you did it, wish there was something I could have done to help.

Sorry to hear that, Shadowed...really enjoyed the functions that EG and EA brought to the game. :(

Is there supposed to be a difference between my EG info when I just look at myself outside of a group, and when I see myself on the raid summary? I have 100% good gear for my spec when I'm by myself in dal, but when I'm in a raid, it's only 5% good. It even says things in the bad gear summary like "Caster, DPS", or whatnot, which confuses me because i'm a DPS caster.

"and blaming Gearscore if you see an unexpected amount of inspect throttled messages"

LOL.

ohhh . . . . man.

I so like this addon better, but soooo many people want me to use GS.

At least the addons cache the results.

guess that was just the debugging then, upgrading to 1.7.5 it stopped

looks like i went crazy a bit to early, was just a bit annoying getting the timer every time i moused over someone, lol
