Guild Wars 2

So I was wondering if there are any changes to the way the WvW API works with the upcoming changes to League play and the objective changes.

If so, will we be able to get a preview of them before they actually go live so we can fix our applications and wrappers?

i would very much like this aswell.

Awesome! Thank you so much. So can we assume that the matches.json will handle all of the wins and losses? Or is this something that will need to be done locally?

Also, will it be possible to get a high res version of the entire wvw map?

@Chris: Thanks for that! Could you please also provide us icons for the “old” objectives in the same resolution? I believe most of us still use those in poor quality and in the old colors.

@Drakma: just wait for the maps api to be updated

Are the supply camp, tower, keep, and castle icons available anywhere?

I have ones I edited out of screenshots, but these look much better.

But that would mean that I would have to do the work!

Will the Glicko 2 system be obsolete then?

…..

The attached files are:

• A close-up screenshot of the new Borderlands map showing where the Ruins objectives are located.
• All the Ruins icons in red, blue, green, and neutral colors.

Could you please make the blue icons darker? or rollback to the old colors of icons? this is seriously annoying to me.

can we have all the icon pack ?

Any provided icons should match the in-game colors.

Could we get the Spanish, French and German names?

I’ll also chime in to ask for a full icon set to go with these too

The best way would actually be to provide all the WvW icons via the https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/files.json API

It does not appear as though the tiles service has been updated to show the new WvW borderlands maps.

Do we have an ETA on that?

German Translation:

If your game language is German you can press right “Ctrl” and it instantly shows english labels until you release the key.

Here are the Spanish and French translations for anyone who was wondering.

ES
Carver’s Ascent -> Ascenso del Trinchador
Orchard Overlook -> Mirador del Huerto
Bauer’s Estate -> Hacienda de Bauer
Battle’s Hollow -> Hondonada de la Battalla
Temple of Lost Prayers -> Templo de las Pelgarias

FR
Carver’s Ascent -> Côte du couteau
Orchard Overlook -> Belvédère du Verger
Bauer’s Estate -> Domaine de Bauer
Battle’s Hollow -> Vallon de bataille
Temple of Lost Prayers -> Temple des prières perdues

I’ve added the translations as well as the approx coordinates to my gist – grab this for a full featured objectives.json:

Is there any way to know who has the bloodlust bonuses? Do we need to monitor it ourself ?
The buff changes owner when another server keeps 3 points for 2 minutes.

That would mean you have to call the match_details every second and it still would be error-prone.

you’ll have to do it yourself.

Which is currently near impossible, because the API data is not reflecting what is actually happening in game.

The API is still not returning when a BL point is neutralized/decayed back to neutral

The API needs to return neutral if no one controls the point anymore.

titanlectro.5029:

Agreed! The “last capped” team is incredibly insufficient when the points are constantly being neutralized by enemies and/or the decay timer. Give us neutralization info please

Don’t suppose there’s any word on getting the other icons?

Great, thanks for that one, Stefan!

Will the October 15th update fix the ruins’ neutral status in the match_details?

Stefan Larimore.6872:

Nobrok, is this also what you are waiting on when you ask, “any word on getting the other icons”?

Sorry, didn’t check the forum for a while. Yes, I mean the icons for supply camps, towers, keeps and the castle.

any update on this problem? still missing the icons in the files.json
