[SWGOH.GG] Squad Updates, and introducing Guild Squad Templates

Happy New Year everyone, hope whatever you wanted popped up (heh).

I've been working on three separate but related features over the break; Squads (v1 already released), Mod Management + Squads and Guild Squad Templates. I'll go over quickly what each one brings to the table.

Squads

Ex: https://swgoh.gg/u/dan/squads/4295/77YOM7VRK1/

• We've added the ability to delete and edit the squad, as well as an improved builder

• You can now mark squads as unlisted, which makes them viewable only by link (not in your listing)

• Future features: Snapshot squads (saves mods / stats)

Mod Management + Squads

Ex: https://swgoh.gg/u/dan/mods/?stat2_5=1&exclude_squads=

• You'll notice in the Filter modal on your Mods page, there is now an 'Exclude Squads' button. This will exclude any characters that are in any of your squads.

• The intent of this is to allow you to find good mods that are on unused Characters very easily

• Note that this includes unlisted Squads.

• Future features: We absolutely want to do a full Mod Management system, with Mod Sets, Aggregate Mod Scores, etc. This is the first step towards that, but it is a massive system and I don't anticipate it soon. In the meantime, I would like to add Squad selectors for excluding from Mod searches.

Guild Squad Templates

Ex: https://i.imgur.com/0wku417.png

• You should see a new link at the bottom of your Guild page - 'Squad Templates'. Squad Templates allow you to create a Squad (only Leader required) and get a readout of your Guild's progression on that squad.

• This feature is cached per guild. Everyone in your guild will be able to see links, anyone outside of the guild will 404 (in-game guilds, not alliances / teams).

• Clicking Data will give you Gear Level averages and Zeta Counts for your Template.

• Clicking Highlight Gear will give you a visual view of your Guild's gear for that Squad.

• We unfortunately do not have any Officer data, so we anyone in your guild can create, edit, and even delete Squad Templates. There is a record of who last edited the Template (bottom of page), as well as a Deleted Templates page, to track down any dumb people doing things they shouldn't.

• Future features: This is the first step towards a full-fledged Territory War feature.

Please let me know if you have any feedback, specifically on Guild Squad Templates. We want to make sure it is as useful as possible!
