Guild Wars 2 Forum - API Development

Specializations aren’t currently exposed via MumbleLink, and there aren’t currently plans to expose them. We’d like to replace the MumbleLink API with one that doesn’t exhibit it’s current issues (very limited space, dirty reads, etc) but it’s a fairly large amount of work.

You can tell if someone’s playing a Revenant, however. The profession id for Revenant is 9 (see the blob format).

I assume we cannot hope for Online API based location service (because it would be extremely ressource-hungry)?

Well I did find out for the revenant

Thanks for confirming the fact that the specializations were not reported in the MumbleLink API.

It’s on the backlog; it’ll probably require a new permission (the “stalker” permission?). The caveat with it is that it’s low-granularity data. The positional data updates about twice/minute — we can pull from the same data that allows you to see guild/party markers on maps you’re not on.
