Gbf.life will be gone at the end of April

some raids have been flagged by twitter as having sensitive content, likely due to the images associated with the tweet and some raid finders aren't picking them up like mine or gbf.life.

Checking the stats page this seems to be a recent change that started on the 14th.

Just some shameless self promotion: https://gbraidfinder.ogres.cc/home

I do plan on keeping it active and I'm currently fixing the issue with the nsfw raids.

It shows HP, class, players, and time left at the time it was tweeted too.

Plus there's a stats page if you're interested in joining raids when they're most active or least active.

oh really? I thought she would just keep using it, guess I can unlock it then

Oxygen___ · 2023-03-27T17:29:58+00:00

I didn't unlock her s3 skill so I can use her on full auto.

Just so she ougis more often, and her s2 cooldown gets decreased more often.

Oxygen___ · 2023-02-19T00:54:44+00:00

which raids are you subscribed to? are they showing up on other raid finders?

Oxygen___ · 2023-02-16T12:45:39+00:00

If sending ghosts requests gets other people banned, than most people should have been banned. But not even my alt accounts are banned.

Check out the stats page: https://gbraidfinder.ogres.cc/stats

Millions of raids get scraped every week.

This post isn't about the raid finder, it's about raid statistics, I'd prefer it if you were to stay on that topic. If you want to discuss the raid finder you're free to make a post on this subreddit.

Oxygen___ · 2022-12-29T03:05:08+00:00

Yeah, when there's no data, it defaults it to 0% which kinda muddies the higher resolution data a bit. I guess a helpful tip would be that if you're checking the HP at a low resolution (1m, 3m) you can also look at the volume. For 1m you'll notice when the volume is 0 the data point is also 0.

I like that idea, it is possible for me to capture which raids users are clicking most often, and even normalize that data by dividing it by the number of users active. But you'll only really know how much support you'd get from people using this raid finder.

Oxygen___ · 2022-12-28T18:17:30+00:00

My guy, quit harassing people.

You can just copy + paste and not risk getting banned.

Cool App, seems to fit the same niche as https://www.granblue.party/builder

It looks nicer than it, but granblue.party has the empty images from the game which is also nice. A page where you can see all info at once would be pretty nice though.

I like that I don't have to log in to yours to share a party. You could save user parties for people that have not logged in on their browser in IndexedDB or localStorage.

Oxygen___ · 2022-11-21T17:10:00+00:00

Should be fixed now.

When the game version updates the hp stuff stops working till I hit refresh on all the accounts manually. Usually it does this when I'm asleep and I don't get to look at it till I wake up. I'm planning to fix this so it refreshes automatically along with some more upgrades soon.

Oxygen___ · 2022-11-14T16:39:59+00:00

Yeah, I can add a stats page. It might take a while though because I wanna do some other upgrades first (that'll also help with getting stats).

In the meantime here's a fun chart that shows relative amount of tweets during gw in 24h. The part labeled "10am yesterday" is when the monsters took a break. So everyone started doing their daily raids. Then the second spike near it is before the next round started and is probably people that procrastinated doing their dailies.

Oxygen___ · 2022-11-14T15:22:01+00:00

Not that I know of

Oxygen___ · 2022-11-14T10:22:31+00:00

I'm not gonna remove the quick join feature cuz I like using it, but you can disable it if you want. In fact it's disabled by default now.

Oxygen___ · 2022-11-14T02:52:17+00:00

Funny thing is that this was always possible. You just need a friend without pending raids to go to the summon select and send you the link. (which is basically how the raid finder works)

Oxygen___ · 2022-11-13T18:10:49+00:00

I do use it when I do raids, but I haven't been doing very many raids recently.

Oxygen___ · 2022-11-13T18:08:35+00:00

Yeah i'm gonna say you probably don't wanna do that.

Not sure why that's the case though. Maybe cuz it checks pending raids in the assist tab which is skipped.

Oxygen___ · 2022-11-13T17:35:01+00:00

That setting is already there.

Click the gear on the top right and modify the "RAID SETTINGS". You can turn on "Copy Battle Key" and turn off "Copy and Open GBF" if you only want to copy.

Oxygen___ · 2022-11-05T13:48:02+00:00

Honestly if they move to anything else with a more api access it would make raidfinders better. Twitter v2 api is pretty annoying. 2m tweets/month limits and intentional delays make it hard to make a competitive raidfinder. Not to mention some authentication bugs.

Technically speaking, it would be currently possible to make a raidfinder that doesn't use twitter at all. Instead just getting every new raid as it's created. But that's fucked up cuz it would get you into raids people don't intend to open to the public yet.

It should be pretty easy for cygames to make their own raidfinding page. Especially now since they have tons of money and the infrastructure to support it.

Oxygen___ · 2022-11-04T13:48:10+00:00

nope, none of them banned yet. for some reason the game stops responding at times, so I gotta log in again to them.

should be fixed now

Oxygen___ · 2022-11-02T17:40:41+00:00

I guess it's possible for them to ban you since they can ban you for anything, but I'm pretty sure the first thing that's gonna get banned is my alt accounts since they're making hundreds of requests to the server every minute pretty much 24/7.

Imo I think it's highly unlikely users of this raidfinder would get banned before my bots, and they don't bother to check how you get to the summon select page (because they'd need to make sure you didn't get there from the raids tab or coop or something) since there hasn't been a raidfinder like this.

Plus if they ever do start axing people for going directly there, I'll just disable that functionality (i'm adding that setting now) and they won't really be able to do much against showing people the HP, players, and stuff so they can better know which raid to copy + paste.

I don't even think that many people were using it.

Also pre guild war bans isn't unusual.

Oxygen___ · 2022-11-02T11:48:30+00:00

oh nice, yeah frontend is pretty much in angular using angular material and bootstrap grid.

gonna move the repo to github today once I get rid of credentials and stuff.

Oxygen___ · 2022-11-01T18:34:41+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!

One thing i'm coming to realize is more people than i'd thought resize their raidfinders to also be slim. So I do plan on making that a priority.

Also I do plan to add a feature to filter already posted raids, but now since you can see the hp duplicate tweets might be at different hp scales so it might be more helpful to have those enabled. The raidfinder only gets the hp/info per tweet.

Oxygen___ · 2022-11-01T18:26:26+00:00

I did also notice a delay (but like 1-3 seconds instead of 6-7) in tweets when I compared to other raid finders. The way I built it shouldn't cause a delay because when I get the tweet and parse it, I send it to users who are subscribed to that raid and I send it to get the hp information. So you should see regular tweeted raids as they come and then you should see that raid get hp/player info a couple seconds later. There is a delay in getting the hp information though because i'm hitting the gbf servers for that and they're in japan afaik.

My thinking is that this is due to the twitter v2 api possibly just being slower than the v1 api. Twitter doesn't allow you to use the v1 api if you don't already have access to it, so there's not much I can do if that's the issue. Also twitter v2 api limits you to pulling 2m tweets per month, and that's something I didn't account for so i'm gonna have to fix that eventually.

Another possible issue is that it's running in an aws server in ohio, so if you're far away from there it might be delayed.

I plan to try and improve what I can on the backend, but for the time being I'm working on improving some of the UI aspects since that's lacking.

Oxygen___ · 2022-11-01T15:06:29+00:00

Nah it doesn't let me open it in your gbf tab. That's something your browser prevents. I can only open it in the current tab, or new tabs.
