Guild Wars 2

Thank you, I was running out of ideas to make this work.

I am trying to access the characters api using angularJS and passing my api key inside the http header, but the server returns an error code -1 without a text.

If I try to use the api by passing the token in the url I get the response I need, but I’d rather try to use it through headers.

My code is this

charApp.factory(‘CharactersHeaders’, function($resource) {
return $resource(“https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/characters?page=0”, null ,
{
“query”: {method: “GET”,headers: { “Authorization”: “Bearer <<API KEY>>”}}
}
);
});

I made a bare bones rails api to test my javascript and I can see that the header is present on the request.

Not sure what I’m doing wrong.
I had made a java web app to get the data, and was able to connect and retrieve data using headers, but I can’t get it to work using angularJs

Can anyone tell me the correct way?

If you can’t get past map loading try this below, it worked for me and several others!

Don’t know if it’s related or a complete fluke, I was about to post “me too” on this problem- all my characters never got past loading screen but a friend suggested I do a repair from this guide:

Took about 10 minutes and then I logged in and everything’s great – hopped multiple characters, doing things, changing zones

Suspicious post is suspicious.

I was asked to leave an arena by a thief that was farming deadeye nonstop.He said that I could find another arena with helpful people, implying that he hoped I died and I wouldnt be ressed.
Lol, the gauntlet and the farming mentality rose the grinders to a new height.

I did find another arena, didnt want to stick around after that, but most of them were people farming deadeye.

Farming Wars.

I have to agree that 30 ms is nothing.I have a steady 250 ms here that makes quite a handicap for the fight.Add that on top of the already long cast time and pickup animation to make a slow motion experience.
The fact that Crown Pavillion is crowded with people farming and makes my fps drop to 9-10 certainly doesnt help either.
I have changed settings to make casting and picking things up faster, but I didnt quite make it yet.Perhaps I will try guesting on a low population server.
I can make it to phase 2, but not consistently, and I usually have lost a bit of life when I do.
One thing that helps is not being above the destroyers, as that is the default farming spot for the zerg.
But there is still time to do it, hopefully I can get lucky.

It is really hard to achieve something when the only possibility is to rely on blind luck.I am sorry your daughter still have not been able to get hers.I got one after 1k coffers when I was not really trying anymore.Hope she will get one.
There got to be a better way than RNG.

I was able to get 1 ticket, so I dont have as much reason to complain as the others who opened more than 3k coffers with nothing to show for it :/
But I am far from satisfied…
I have not been able to get any skins from past festivals, so I tried to get one this time.I did it the hard way, farming holos and trash mobs for the coffers, without buying them outright from the TP. It is more time consuming than doing COF and buying things, but there you go.
After 1000 coffers without a skin I was discouraged , but kept at it for a while without stacking coffers.And after that did not play for about a week.Then I logged in again, and was talking with a friend in Ebonhawk when I got bored and started killing holos and soon after that got my one ticket, somewhere between 1k and 1.1 k tries.
But I am quite turned off now, and tired of the rng to bother to play regularly again.
I have read people saying that rng is fair, or the devs saying whoever got the skin earned it.But its not earning something by pure chance, there is no merit involved in blind luck.And treating everyone equally is not the same as treating everyone fairly…
OTOH , I am not sure what should be done instead to keep the game interesting for the people who reached the endgame and are getting bored.
Giving things for no effort is not it, but setting the bar ridiculously high like getting 100k candy to get one holo wing is just absurd.

I would like to earn the things I want , not by farming COF or some other mindless grind to just buy it, and to be able to see the progress toward my goals.

It is not a bad game though, I quite enjoyed it, but the endgame is not enough for me to play everyday anymore.
