Guild Wars 2

The new commander tag colors are very difficult for me to distinguish on the mini map due to red-green color blindness. The cyan and magenta tags are both very similar looking to me and just look like an off white tag.

Is it possible to make them more saturated or alter the tag shape slightly?

Is it possible to do something about the spirit shard reward when you’ve maxed out all your masteries? At the moment, if you don’t raid for various reasons and therefore don’t have the raid mastery track unlocked then you just get nothing even if you’ve got everything else unlocked. Can there be an exemption for this specific mastery track or just unlock the mastery track by default for everybody?

The GW2 guild API seems to be doing a UTF-8 encoding twice on strings which means they don’t get decoded correctly on the client end unless you do a workaround. I’ve not checked the other APIs.

An example is the guild “Bojovní Lumíci”. The API returns “Bojovn?? Lum??ci” which is 0xEF 0xBF 0×83 0xEF 0xBE 0xAD for the out of place characters. The forum is stripping out those characters and replacing it with ?? so you’ll have to look at the JSON output of the API for the actual characters. If you run each 3 byte encoding through the UTF-8 decoding algorithm and ignoring the invalid codepoints then you get 0xFF 0xC3 0xFF 0xAD. If you then strip out the extraneous 0xFFs then you’re left with 0xC3 0xAD which is the UTF-8 encoding for í.

Apologies for anybody actually in Bojovní Lumíci. You’re just a handy example due to the accented letters in your name.
