Dear GW2 community,
I wanted to show you:
http://gw2eventer.com
What does it do?
- It is an easy to use event timer/tracker for efficient event farming.
- It has a build in overlay window, letting you see active events in-game. (new v1.4)
- WvW timer and status overlay. (new v1.5)
Why should I use GW2 Eventer, where there are lots of other sites out there already for tracking events?
- Almost every tracker site out there shows you too many, and unimportant events. GW2 Eventer just tracks the most important, most profitable ones.
- It can play a sound alert for every pre- or boss event, so you can let it run in the background and won’t miss the events you are interested in.
- You can mark already looted events for the day, which would still show up, but don’t play any sound alerts anymore.
- You can turn on and off every single sound alert for every event, pre- and boss event.
What does it run on?
- It’s a standalone program, therefor it runs on your computer, which makes it independent from sites on the internet, which could be down or laggy.
- You need http://www.java.com/ to run it.
- It’s written in Java. Therefor it runs on any platform supporting Java, including Windows, MacOS and Linux.
How to use it?
- Download and unzip the file to a folder of your choice, and run the GW2Eventer.jar file. You can use the optional gw2eventer.exe too, which is just a wrapper for WIndows, checking if you have Java installed on your computer.
- In the program you can select your home world, if the program should play sound alerts, if it should prevent your computer from going sleep/hibernate, and an auto-refresh option.
- For the auto-refresh set the number in seconds for each interval check.
- You can click with your mouse on each event, marked X and colored gray if it hasn’t been activated yet. In the pop-up you can activate or deactivate for each event if it should play a sound alert for either pre event, and/or boss event. You can also mark it there if you have looted it and if so, the color of the active event will change to yellow.
- If an event becomes active, the X will change to the number of the pre event or to “B”, standing for “Boss event” and becomes colored green.
- If a boss event will fail or succeed, a timer will start counting up the minutes from where it was deactivated. This will help you to estimate when it is likely a new boss event will start.
- For using the overlay function, GW2 has to run in window or fullscreen window mode.
That’s all. Try it out now. It’s free: http://gw2eventer.com
I hope someone will find this tool useful, and if you like it, tell about it in your guild and share it with your friends.
It’s open-source.
Therefor, it has no ads, it has no hidden malware, and it’s free!
