Guild Wars 2

Would it be possible to make an overlay that displayed a transparent map of the map that you are working on completing? Something like the map overlay in Diablo 2?

No, this API is not one that ties directly into the game client. It’s merely a set of web-based JSON interfaces for accessing game data, and none of the current interfaces support that kind of data.

However, there are plans for implementing OAuth2, meaning you can log in to the API to access account/guild data. Once that’s in place, they might release an API for character-map data, which someone could use to write an overlay program.

Alright, thanks for the reply.. I really hope they do that because it would be nice to have an overlay for the Bounty Boss paths also.

Wait, if all you want is a static image overlay, then that’s not related to the API at all.
