I’ve created a program that allows you to view WvW objective info ‘inside’ your game. Guild Wars 2 Battle Support is an overlay that shows the objective icons you see on your map inside your world: Look towards N camp and you will see a camp icon with the information of the camp, look towards garri and you will see a keep icon with the information of the keep. This includes the supervisor buff timers.
After programming and testing the application on my current server, I think it’s at a state where it’s far enough to be tested by the rest of the Guild Wars 2 community.
If you have any questions, comments, ideas, bug reports,… let me know on the forums: http://www.gw2battlesupport.com/forum/. Update notes can be found here as well. I’m looking forward to hearing what you think about this application
No. There are a lot of websites and overlays that provide the exact same information. This program is just a way of getting the same information neatly integrated into your game.
So, what’s the advantage of your system over http://wuvoverlay.codeplex.com/ which is the same thing except a whole lot more compact and cleaner?
Meaning no offense, but something with the same capability already exists.
It’s what you prefer yourself, but I don’t think it can be compared. My application is integrated with Guild Wars 2 in such a way that it shows you the information in the right place as you move around.
EDIT: I’ve added some screens to the initial post that should make the functionalities of the application a bit clearer.
I downloaded and tested it, seems to work very well. Took a little 30-second video to show what it looks like in-game. It’s not quite like the wuoverlay I think.
just installed it as well. works great, and doesn’t inter fear with my game play if i mouse over the icons +1 for you thuron, recommending this to my guildies now
Interesting… might be nice if distance was factored in a bit so the further away an objective is the smaller the icon would show. Minor suggestion at best though.

Right now the opacity does that, but I think I’ll add an option for re-sizing as well. Thanks for the idea
Looking at the feedback I’ve been getting, it looks like there are no serious issues that stand in the way of Guild Wars 2 Battle Support’s release. I have at least one more beta patch which will be pushed in a day or two, after that it depends on the test results whether the beta is over or not. Thanks for the support everyone
i find it very usefull, it’s very well done.
i’d like to be able to set custom names for the objectives, using the same names i use to call them.
I’m working on an option that makes it possible to use the original in-game names as well as the cardinals that are currently displayed, but if there are solid reasons to make them user-definable as well I would definitely consider it.

Is there any way we can get an official response on that. To me it just looks way too much like an ESP hack. But if I definitely won’t be banned for using it then I definitely want to use it because it will quite frankly be very useful.

From our perspective, having an overlay is just a different way of presenting content. We are not currently banning players simply for using overlays, and have no plans to do so.

Thank you Anen! nirvana: I hope this answers your question, if not, let me know!
