Every avatar we have recorded has a public profile, whether or not anyone has claimed it. Claiming it makes it yours to customise; it does not make it visible, because it already was.
Avatars, teams and land areas are the three directory pages, all built the same way: from tracked globals rather than from anything anyone filled in.
What a profile shows
| Tab | Contents |
|---|---|
| Feed | Recent activity as it happened |
| Globals | The full history, filterable by type |
| Chart | Activity month by month |
| Challenges | Progress through community challenges |
Alongside those are lifetime totals per profession, largest recorded results, HOF and ATH counts, and any trophies won in events and challenges.
What is public, and why
Everything on an avatar profile is public. Globals, totals, rankings and trophies can be read by anyone, signed in or not.
This is not a setting we chose to leave open. Globals are announcements the game itself broadcast to every player in range, so they were public before we recorded them. Hiding them here would not make them private; it would only remove them from the community's record.
What is not public is your account: your email address, your settings, your notification rules and anything in your dashboard. Those are yours alone. The split is that the avatar is public and the account behind it is private.
If you would rather not contribute new data at all, Privacy Mode in the tracker stops anything being sent.
Claiming your avatar
Your avatar is linked when you register, provided the name matches exactly and nobody else has claimed it. The three possible outcomes are covered in creating an account.
An unclaimed avatar still accumulates everything. Claiming it later brings the whole history with it, including rewards that were waiting.
What you can customise
A profile picture, a cover image, a short profile video, a line of about text and links to your Discord, Twitch and YouTube. You can also attach a screenshot or clip to any global of your own. Your recorded history itself is not editable, since it is a log of what the game announced rather than a page about you.
The fields, the rules each one is checked against and the upload limits are in customising your profile, and the media on globals in photos on your globals.
Teams
Team globals are attributed to a team name, and teams have public profiles of their own with their own globals and monthly activity.
Teams here are the in-game hunting teams the game named in its announcements. There is nothing to create or join on the site; a team profile appears because the game announced a global for it. Nobody owns a team page and there is nothing on it to edit.
Two consequences catch people out. Team globals do not count towards leaderboards, explained in leaderboards. And within an event, an avatar can belong to more than one team, since that is how societies actually run competitions.
A team is not a society. A society is something you create and join here, covered in societies.
