As a design project it's cool. I think you did a good job and I don't mean to rain on your parade. But of course now I will. I think as a data visualization exercise, it's mostly what Tufte would call "chart junk". The graphics don't aid into understanding, and actually sort of distract you from the point. It would be a lot easier to read if the axis labels said things like "Warrior" instead of an obscure graphic, that even as a GW2 player myself, I have to think about. Also, the pie chart...pie charts are problematic for understanding data because we don't do a good job at interpreting area. A bar chart is considered more effective. Again, as a purely visual exercise, I think it looks cool.

This looks nice! And I like the link between the rings and the bars.<p>I'm a bit thick. It took me a few minutes to realise that the rings of the circle are independent. For example, there can be female humans, all the humans are not male.<p>On the bar charts you start at 0% (which is good), but you don't finish at 100%, nor on a similar number. One chart finishes at about 15% and another at about 30%. So at a glance the hight of the bars looks similar. I guess the width of the bars compensates? (And the race bar chart numbers add to 99%. Is that a rounding thing?)

Very cool!<p>GW2 is currently my favorite game and am really surprised to see it on HN frontpage.<p>I'm astounded at the amount of data ANet is making available. And, how cleanly and robustly they've done it - all in JSON.<p>Another bit you might want to play with is their TP (Trading Post) JSON data. These guys (<a href="http://www.gw2spidy.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.gw2spidy.com</a>, source is on github) do a really good job, but I'm sure there are tons more things, and ideas, that can come from all that data!<p>Good luck!

This is pretty rad. It reminds me of our designer (Joe Golike)'s master's project, visualizing the economy of WoW, also built in d3:<p><a href="http://golike.com/2.0/mmox.htm" rel="nofollow">http://golike.com/2.0/mmox.htm</a> <a href="http://mmox.org/demo" rel="nofollow">http://mmox.org/demo</a>

It looks great, but I noticed that the black outline animation lags heavily behind the rest, which makes the site feel incredibly sluggish, even though it's probably only just the one animation that ruins the perception.<p>Great job all in all.
