Most people probably knows the site from my occasional references to it as part of the Free-to-Play Rotations and Heroic Deals data, but since the site was started, it has evolved much beyond that.
When I launched it, back on May 28, 2018, it had the following simple features:
-
A list of Heroes
-
Listings of when a given Hero was on Rotation
-
Showing the Newest and Current Rotation
-
Lightweight and ad-free Design
The goal, after that, was quite focused: Gather the remaining Rotation-data, and give predictions on when they would be on Rotation next - a goal that was met within the next few days. It was the most asked for goal, given that there was often questions about when a specific Hero would be on Rotation.
Since then, lots and lots of stuff was included:
-
Complete Hero Rotation data
-
Complete Sales data - for Heroes, Skins and Mounts
-
A full Prediction overview for both Hero Sales/Mounts (this was intended to include Skins/Mounts as well, but that was made redundant with the somewhat recent Collection changes)
-
Full Overview of Universes and Subuniverses (Skin themes / Realms)
-
Full List of Battlegrounds with Objectives, Mercenaries and Entities
-
All Skins and Mounts tied to the given Heroes and/or Universes
-
Data about Announcers (Heroes, Skins and Entities)
-
Detailed Hero Pages with their Rotation/Sales data, Skins, Role and more
-
Hero Role separated pages
-
A much-needed makeover, to make it look much prettier
-
A shiny Twitter account: @NexusCompendium
-
... and probably more. See here for the updates: News
But, trust me, there’s so much more on the Backlog and in the Works:
-
A List of Events (both Seasonal and not) with data about the Skins/Mounts/Battlegrounds they added and their occurences
-
Hero Price history
-
Images of Skins
-
Individual Skin/Mount Pages
-
Making connections between related items - in whatever possible way
-
Including references to Heroes/Entities that are shown in Portraits and the like, to further deepen the various Subuniverses
-
Lists of all Announcers, and whatever might make sense to have as a list
-
The ability to see Predictions based on a specific week, to compare the outcome with the actual data
... and I’m always open to more and crazy ideas!
Remember, this was made just as much as a pet project, but also my personal love letter to the Nexus. The more people use it, the happier I am. Really ❤️
