DropTracker v5.4.0 — Early July Update
7/8/2026 · Staff
We've spent the past week rebuilding large parts of DropTracker from the ground up. The website is brand new, the events system is fully live, and there's a new way to support us as an individual. Here's everything that changed.
🌐 A Brand-New Website
We completely rewrote droptracker.io on a modern stack (Next.js). It's faster, cleaner, and mobile-friendly, and every page below is live now:
- New landing page — hero search bar with instant player/group typeahead, a live collage of recent global drops, and getting-started steps.
- Player & group profiles — now with real stat blocks, richer detail, and smoother navigation.
- Leaderboards — full player names, faster loads.
- Docs — reader-first documentation, rewritten to match what actually ships.
- Account settings — reworked around the fields that matter, with real privacy controls that are now enforced server-side (your hidden data stays hidden).
- Group admin — a proper config editor, announcement composer with Discord ping picker, an "Authorized users" tab, and per-group diagnostics.
🏆 Events (v2) — Fully Live
Our events system has been rebuilt end-to-end and now works properly, start to finish:
- Create events with typed tasks: item collection, kill-count goals, personal-best targets, XP/skill goals, loot value, and custom tasks.
- Bingo boards — a visual designer plus a live, public board, with automatic line & blackout bonuses.
- Teams — multiple formation modes (self-join with a code, auto-assign, or admin-assign).
- Automatic scoring — completions are credited straight from your submissions in real time, with a verification queue for tasks that need manual confirmation.
- Per-event Discord integration — route announcements, completions, and leaderboards to the channels you choose.
- Full lifecycle control — draft, activate, and end events on your schedule.
💜 New: Personal Supporter Subscription
You no longer need to run a whole group to unlock premium perks. Supporter is a personal, pay-what-you-want subscription (minimum $5/mo — pay more if you'd like to help us out):
- Personal video capture — record clips of your own submissions regardless of your group's plan.
- Submission DMs — get your drops, level-ups, and more sent straight to your Discord DMs.
- Supporter flair and other perks.
💛 Thank-you: active Bug Tester badge holders are automatically granted supporter benefits.
🔌 Plugin Improvements
- Death & Achievement Diary tracking added.
- Update prompts — the plugin now tells you when a new version is available.
- Split & team-loot fixes — more accurate value splits and better Chambers of Xeric team detection.
- Added Maggot King to special NPC loot handling.
- Various stability and performance improvements under the hood.
🛠️ Behind the Scenes
- More reliable notification delivery, with personal DMs no longer accidentally suppressed by group settings.
- Announcements now send real Discord pings.
- Custom group point systems and custom embed editing.
- Faster, more accurate leaderboards and NPC totals.
