i'm probably missing something, but exporting a CSV would have been better choice than a proprietary format that locks users into a proprietary tool
to me it sounds like microsoft is colluding with game developers to lock in users more than to help users
- Sakos 4y agoI think they consciously chose Excel because it provides an online platform that can allow real-time updates and easy accessibility. If you want the data in another form, you can just query their APIs instead.
- jabroni_salad 4y agoYou can already do that. You can even just copy+paste tables out of the game to dump into a website or textfile if you want (which is how a lot of stuff works currently). They also have APIs for a lot of stuff. I used to use a program called pirates little helper that would monitor your clipboard for when you did a ctrl+a ctrl+c in your current chatroom's userlist and it would query those character's recent deaths to see who was likely to be a high value target.
