Second, I just want to clarify what you guys are asking here. If we had this feature for normal opponents, would you want this list to show up on the main page, or have this list generated per pet (that is, when viewing a specific pet&;s stats, it shows you which opponents that pet has not yet battled)
From my point of view, I think that if we were to have this list generated for non-event opponents we haven't battled, it would be in the pet's Battle Records, not on the main page... maybe under our pet's comment (above the table) a link or button to generate a second list that opens in a new window, or opens a table underneath the first one?

I had a shock reading stats having been changed, thinking XP had gone up in price or the like :-)

The statistics page, which I tediously opened almost every day in depth/opponent is super fast now. Love the table and the highlighted easily viewable wins.

What makes me a bit sad is that the pets are in alphabethical and not custom order (in challenger view). That makes it hard to distinguish and check my pet blocks. Would it be feasible to choose what we prefer?

I absolutely love the change and it may actually get me back into battling. One little change I would LOVE to see though is to have the opponents annotated by type - Like (N) for normal, (CS) for Cash Shop, (S) for Secret, and (E) for Event. This would make it much easier when checking the list to know where to find them, particularly for newer battlers, especially in the case of event opponents. Saves people from searching for something that isn't currently there. Also is it possible to have the pets listed in the Battle Records for Opponent in the same order as the Battle Records for Pet? It seems like it would be a bit more cohesive.

I LOVE YOU!!!!! I have been begging for this for ages! I honestly thought my ex would make me that spice rack he promised when we were married long before I would ever see a useable stats interface.

I especially like the PEW PEW BATTLE BATTLE !

I live in MN, and whatever you've heard... It's much worse.

I would like the latter. When I "choose pet" to see his or her battle records, I would like to see every non-event/non-throwback opponent listed, even if the total is 0. It would also be nice if when I "choose opponent" to see those battle records, I could see all of my pets listed there, even if the total is 0.(right now I have to count pets on that page and then try to figure out who is missing)

Here's where I'm coming from: I currently have 121 opponents X 23 pets X 10 wins each. That is 27,830 total wins that I'm trying to keep up with!
What I currently have to do is open the "challenge an opponent" page and the battle "statistics" page. Then go 1 pet vs. 1 opponent at a time to check. Take out the 10 wins each, and that is only 2783 checks to make, but overwhelming enough that I had given up on the process. This new condensed and fast loading(SO MUCH FASTER!!!) stats page will help, but I will still have to go back and forth to see which pets have battled which opponents.

Ahah, finally I can stop whining about how much I hate that page. :D I love this so much, it's so fast Bug is the best.

If I had to nitpick (which I don't. but I'm gonna), I'd love it if were possible to further sort the lists by difficulty or challenger type, i.e. Cash Shop, Secret, Normal.

On the subject of showing challengers we haven't fought yet, I personally would only want it for normal, permanent challengers, and for it to be generated on a per pet basis. Maybe as another sorting option? I only have 6 battle pets (two of which I don't use much) and I tend to go through and fight the challengers in big batches, and it's still hard to keep track sometimes. It'd be super helpful to be able to see at a glance, oops, missed one! And with new cash shop challengers coming out each month, it's hard for me to remember if I fought them with everybody, or just with my main. So while it's not something that's necessary. it'd be a major quality of life upgrade. But I could also just live with having the option to sort by difficulty or type (or...both? /puppy dog eyes) Also sorry for rambling, I'm not fully awake yet lol

Looking to buy this!

It'd be a subtle quick change and maybe not doable, but maybe for opponents that have 10 or more wins, make that a dark green colour so the brighter green for non-10 win opponents stand out even further?

Otherwise, this update is a godsend. Thank you so much, especially the update for forfeiting!

(since the armory and scrolls are next in line for sprucing up, please please please make it possible for us to sort weapons/scrolls by most frequently used? Even by tier would be fine, I just want to stop having to look for specific weapons if I go to edit a set cause my armory is super cluttered)

Ooh, I like it! The no images will take a bit of getting used to, but I like that the rows highlight gray when you hover over them to make it easier to read all the way across.

And I like that our pets say different things when we refresh the page. :P

What screen resolution are you guys on? Can you also double-check that you are viewing the page at 100% zoom? It will definitely mess it up if you are zoomed in for instance. I was unfortunately not able to reproduce this on Chrome or Firefox, so more investigation is necessary...

Yes, I can make it order based on your custom pet order instead. But it would have to be one or the other, not both that and alphabetical. But I think custom pet order makes more sense and is more consistent with the rest of the website, so I will change this.

We are not doing this because the 10-wins thing is going to change in the future. Possibly near future... who knows... ;)

Re: showing opponents you haven't battled yet

Thanks for the discussion and suggestions! Unfortunately I have bad news which is, after considering your points, and thinking really hard about how such a thing would even be coded, I've found it's not feasible to implement right now. So this is an official "no" from me, sorry.

I will include some reasoning behind this, but at this point it's not up for debate. In the future I'd be willing to talk about it again but I'll let you know when that is. Right now, consider it "shelved" because, after thinking about it, it would take more time and effort than I'm willing to give right now. Basically I realized "This would still be nice to have, but not nice enough to be worth delaying the armory and scrollery updates as much as it would."

Some reasoning behind this Without getting too technical, it's partly because we can't easily distinguish between the different types of challengers (event, throwback, currently available...) and the feature loses a lot of its usefulness if we can't have that. (Eventually you would have like 50 old throwback challengers listed for some of your pets, and it would still be hard to find the info you're looking for, which is opponents you haven't fought that you can fight now.)

The information for the type of challengers we'd need to look up in a separate database table than your battle logs. The thing is, these pages are already doing a lot of database reads and computation because of the battle logs themselves, and I really hesitate to add more computation to this page when it's a feature the majority are fine without - and I mean we have lived without this for a long time and been okay.

It would also be quite tricky to work it into the existing code. It would require a full rewrite of the logic that generates the tables. This is less of an issue than the above, but it matters because there's a high chance that it would take a while and break a lot in the meantime if I tried to do it. Hence, it would be possibly multiple days spent on this instead of the armory and scrollery updates I wanted to do. By the time I was done, it might be time for me to circle back to other projects so you guys would have to wait even longer for those.

Okay, so all of that aside, I can however show pets that have not battled an opponent, when you are viewing the history of a specific opponent. That wouldn't be all that hard, funnily enough. Would that be something you guys would like?
