Guild Wars 2

Me and other developers are worried about new TP. Many websites and some programs are used to collect data from TP trought webpages used by the in-game TP. With the new TP, does this pages changes or data returned by those pages change format?
Can we be reassured or not about this? If something change, can we be informed about change so we “hope” to have time in this 4 days (with a weekend in middle) to make necessary changes?

I know that this is not the correct forum section, but “API Development” section seems
abandoned for months. We urgently need to know if something will change, and in that case we need to warn our users that it’s possible that many TP-based website/program will no longer work from 9/9.

Well they answered this question on today’s PoI Twitch cast and the answer is yes, they will break. However they are contacting some of them to inform them what needs to be done.

Huh. That’s a good point, Alcarin. I use gw2tp.com regularly for looking up prices and such while I’m at work too. Hopefully the underlying API hasn’t changed and the websites will continue to function.

Most of those websites function on query. Hopefully that hasn’t changed with the exception of additional parameters or keywords in existing ones.

Edit: Nevermind. Just passing through.

Ooh a shiny!…………

It sounds like they’re changing the way their web app interacts with the game? More client sided stuff, probably through cookies and such. The APIs will probs have to change, but I don’t see them stopping

Hopefully not.. I also hope they add the class/weights parameters to the API.

There are no official API for TP data. Data was taken emulating in-game TP, that’s why we are scared about TP changes.

Anyway, in the last POI, devs said that old TP will stop to work when the new one will be put online.
So websites and application that use TP data will stop to work on 9th September until a solution is found and applied by each developer.

It’s very disappointing, especially to not have been informed in advance.
Anyway, now you know why from 9/9 will be problems on such websites/applications.
