Three years ago (March of 2023!), we had our first meeting about a new app that could be a home for all the features that our eager, excited little team could dream up. Throughout the next year we mocked up designs, had whiteboard sessions, and created a plan to bring that idea to life.
Today, we retired our older apps so that we can focus full time on what came out of that: 🎉the Archon App. More than just an uploader, our team wanted this app to be somewhere we can create and share tools that we're passionate about creating, and that you're passionate about using.
We have so many big plans for the Archon App! Unfortunately, Log site support takes up a whole awful lot of time🙈... but we promise, we're working on new features whenever we can. We can't wait to show you what else is to come, and bring to life the ideas that have been bouncing around our heads for years now.
Debating what to work on next for meters. I could do healing, death recap, or just keep plugging away on settings? Hide out of combat, font/background customization, party/alliance filtering.
We have columns like crit and phase/pull support coming.
What do you most want to see?
Messing around with phase support prototypes. TOP with full phase and downtime support. Meter in "Last Phase" mode shows your per-phase total dps bottom right and seamlessly clears itself as you enter the new phase. Time in phase is shown as well.
We're ready to move our meters to a public beta!
Here's our article explaining how they work and how to set them up!

We released meters in beta knowing people would ask for 1000+ customization options.
We know you want it to be more customizable and will be working on that.
The initial focus was just on correctness (especially the numerical correctness relative to FFLogs).
@naptimedreams ACT does not have rDPS, it just displays DPS. Parses in FFlogs are ranked by rDPS. You can read more in this article we have if you wish to understand it better:

@callasoatski Thank you for your feedback! We are going to see if we can make it fully lock, we will also be making clickthrough still let you switch between the different DPS types as well.
Our meters will be configured and work through the existing FFLogs client application, so if you want to be ready for when they release (very soon!), get that app installed. (Meters will work with both the Overwolf FF Logs Companion and the Electron FF Logs Uploader.)

I did an engineering sprint on meters for FF this weekend, got DPS numbers to match the Web site, including DoT simulation.
Only thing left now numbers-wise for damage is rDPS, and then I can work on healing.
Criterion dungeons (both normal and savage) for 6.5+ will now begin the speed run timer when you enter combat, so you no longer have to go go go right as you zone in.
Patch 6.5 introduced a bug that lets players spam buffs and in Dancer's case indefinitely spam their finisher.
Any logs with it will be blacklisted, so feel free to link them in our Discord server: https://t.co/nU1kgtCZ90 or report them here as well.
