Guild Wars 2

Windows 8: Dragon Timers
Currently re-writing the app to exclusively use the Dynamic Events API.

• Currently supports all North American and European servers, but much of the timer info still relies on guildwarstemple timers.
• Uses the WinJS.UI and Windows.UI API’s to notify users of active events.
• Fully supports snapped states.
• Shows some preliminary boss info on tile click.

Hoping to have version 2.0 (full Events API support) released by Memorial Day.

Edit – 5/24/2013: The new version is now in certification; rebuilt to exclusively use the new Dynamic Events API.

I guess I’ll just say goodbye to my 8 gold, and start earning it all over again.

It shows in my transaction history that I bought the items, but it has been over 48 hours and they are still not in my pickup tab.

If that twitter link is referring to the TP outage… I do not know how to reply. I really hope, for Arenanet’s sake, that the link is referring to something else.

They have all the TP transaction history. When something goes wrong server-side, the correct thing to do is attempt to compensate your customers to keep them happy.

Arenanet may not be legally bound to do so, but to just slap a customer in face that they lost hours upon hours worth of gold, maybe even days or weeks worth, for something that was Arenanet’s server’s fault is not going to make the aforementioned customer happy.

I was attempting to buy some rare/exotic level 80 greatswords to use; I put them up as a custom order bid, but it kept not going through. I thought: that’s ok, it’s probably just the trading post lagging out and that it would take the gold later.

A few minutes later the trading post went down for maintenance. The next day, it shows I successfully bought the swords in my transaction history; however, they were not in my pick-up tab, and I was also missing the 8 gold I used to buy them with.

AKA Trading Post ate my money.
