@Drakma.1549
I’m very surprised because this comment is about 2 hours too late. I expected it earlier.

No, it’s sad if for you “game life” and “real life” are equal.

And yes, I’m expecting the prize because instead of spamming aoe and rushing I try to heal and rez downed players.

And if you’re talking about real life:
If someone have won because I helped him, I expect “thank you” instead of “I’ve done this alone”.

Stop being rude and stop talking about my life, it’s not your business.

@Ptolemy.5086
Oh my, I want prize for winning. I’m so bad. I’ll go to the hell.

I have to admit. I am having a hard time understanding what you are trying to say here.

Are you trying to say that just because this is a game then suddenly the choices you make (in real life) that affect your life (in game) don’t matter?

Really, I am confused. Are you not alive? are you not a real person? If you don’t like the results of how you do something, then change how you do it. Don’t complain about it.

I think somewhere in your childhood your parents raised you wrong. Sorry, there’s not much posting on this forum can do to help you with that.

Your parents taught you that if you win you get a prize. I bet they bribed you when you were younger to do chores didn’t they?

What they should have taught you was that you play a game to have fun. If you win then that’s just an added bonus. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

What this has done is raise a group of children (like you) who play for a prize instead of playing for fun and created an entire generation of “me firsts”

For serious tho, if you can’t get bags as a mesmer or guardian or hell and class for that matter, then you are playing this game incorrectly.

Just because you choose to correlate fiction with non-fiction does not mean others do.

You appear to be unable/unwilling to separate the two.

I can tell you the reward that I got from the Southsun thingy….
Eir’s longbow……… and…that’s it…..

You know what I got from the Southsun event?

Nothing, because I was at work while it was taking place…..

Hrm. I wonder why he shut down. I’d be more than willing to rehost his stuff.

It can’t be dps based. I wish people would understand that. I walked up to red knight at 5% health and gotten loot. I’ve been there for entire fights and not gotten loot.

Clearly something else is at play. And guessing by anet’s lack of response to this thread, I have a feeling they don’t know what it is.

YtseJam.9784:

Being able to see the last time guild members logged in on the API (or in Game) would really be helpful for guild maintenance. As players leave the game, there is no user-friendly way of being able to see what members in a guild are inactive.

+1 and the ability to see the last time a member rep’d the guild would be nice as well.

But Black Curtains? Really?

Wow, so much QQ.

Go outside people.

I’m not having any issues at all.

through over 1000 ranks I can tell you that the chests are all complete kitten.

I you like, you can check out my API available at gw2stats.net. Just click in the API Status link at the top then select API. You can get all the wvw data in one query.

I’m drunk as kitten. If you see a purple Afro warrior running around just know I have zero kittens to give. Good fights tonight all around.

This was sent to me by a very trusted source… I’m just the messenger.

Yup, last night we actively held BP away from SM while Yak’s and Ebay flipped SM back and forth for dragonite ore.

I would live to be able to use this app and program for it. However, I’ve had an app “pending approval” for the last 4 months.

We’ll ehmry bay teamspeak just suffered a nice little ddos attack. Thanks to those involved for clearing our teamspeak if idlers.

I wet myself.

For your consideration

I currently make about 15 calls per second and I have yet to be rate limited.

Dear [ZOMG],

Next time, if you want to see how a 1v2 works out, don’t wear your commander tag.

Thank you for bowing, but you might want to tag off if you are going to honestly respect getting both your warrior butts handed to you by a staff ele.

Love dearly,
Teal haired, stupid healing, piece of sh-, oh my god how is she doing damage, [ouch] Ele.

Dear unknown person from unknown server,

Thank you for your thinly-disguised, ego-inflating post.

Dear less-known person than me also from unknown server,

You are welcome,

Scrub.

Love, Harmless.

Dude. It took you five days to come up with that retort?

I currently provide an API which does just what you ask. There are currently several people using it. It can e reached at http://gw2stats.net/api/objectives.json

For more information on that and other API requests I provide you can go to

http://gw2stats.net/status/api

I too have encountered several people doing that!

This matchup is pretty much Zero Fun, NSP gets stomped, EB gets stomped, SBI get bored of having 400 PPT. Sometimes I question why Anet made up this Season thing when they one server will stomp the others . EB is already losing morale and making alot of people rage quit when they play WvW. Even if you try roaming 90% of the time there will be a SBI zerg going to stomp you anywhere you go, and if you try commanding expect also a SBI zerg to stomp you because any offensive force shown on the map they want want “fights” which they really arent getting because they have numbers 10 times our size.
I’m pretty much done with this game mode to be honest if we have to deal with 7 weeks of this crap.
tl;dr- Zergs. Zergs everywhere

You know. I don’t really think you and I play on the same server. As far as I can tell, you’re the only one raging.

I’m gonna be “that guy” this week.

Had a really fun time on NSP BL. We had a lot of REALLY good fights. until… the lag.

I’m sorry but anet really kittened up on this. Half of one guild gets kicked from the server 10 seconds into reset. Half of another guild is stuck in queue for 2+ hours while other guilds get in as soon as they click the button.

I WANT to enjoy this, but sadly anet doesn’t seem to want me to.

I really hope they can fix this.

MMOs (and gaming in general) are usually strictly regulated in China. While there are ways around it, companies outside of China can’t own companies inside China. Games played inside China can not use resources outside of The Great Firewall™

So, I would expect a zero impact on the way we (as non-Chinese) play this game. I would expect them to have their own servers.

I’m not sure why MOS is down but there is an alternative

http://gw2stats.net

(disclaimer: yes, I run it but, at least it’s updating)

Kaos.9162:

Ebay, keeping it classy.

People from all three servers in this matchup were doing the exact same thing. This isn’t just en eBay thing.

Haze.1523:

Chase moar plz.

Will do

Seriously tho guys. Props to VLK for at least trying. When you get the jump on us you hurt.

Gw2stats.net doesn’t run from that API. It’s something I built in house. However, gwapinet does have functionality built in to use the gw2stats.net API. Just wanted to clarify that.

From what I have seen though gwapinet is very awesome.

Oh. I have a few of those already. However, I earned those.

Gabby.3205:

Maybe because you posted like 4 topics or so with the same suggestion?

Sadly I got a 502 error each time I posted. The topic never appeared for me. Until about the 5th post.

something Anet should look into as it wasn’t intentional and now I have an infraction.

This is a suggestion. I’m not really sure why I got infracted for this.

That is all. Make it so!

So you are saying you were “stealth moderated?”

Yes, it is on my list of things to do. Unfortunately, I’m very busy with my IRL job atm.

Honestly, that is a great approach.

Generate a key for a specific domain as well. So only that domain can use that specific key.

This is probably an approach that I will be taking to gw2stats.net as the API picks up use as well.

If you haven’t look at it yet, I highly suggest you look at how Eve Online does their guild API.

Each person is given 2 unique keys.

Key 1 is a read only key and gives very basic information on an account/character

Key 2 is a read/write key that allows an account to actually “do stuff”

With this system, the user can give out their Key 1 to whomever they wish to have access to their basic information. There is no requirement to give it out, but I am sure that large guilds can make it mandatory, etc.

Each key can be regenerated at any time allowing the user to effectively “cut off” access to their information.

A type of system like this + OAuth2 would be as secure as you can get it while allowing everybody involved to get the data they need.

It’s not extremely difficult to do. I’ve done it before with one of my applications. While not as big as GW2, it still has a fairly large user base.

That being said, I’ve submitted my application to Anet. I can start anytime.

Comprissent.3856:

3 Bloodlust buffs and map queued Ebay needs portal bombs to take on poor maguuma RIP

Meh, we were bored.

What sort of data are you looking for? I may already have it available if you don’t mind a middleman.

you’ll have to do it yourself.

Which is currently near impossible, because the API data is not reflecting what is actually happening in game.

The API is still not returning when a BL point is neutralized/decayed back to neutral

That is exactly what I do. I download the json and get an md5 hash. I then compare to my database to see if the hash changed. If it has than I update.

Only one problem tho. I still need to download every item detail.

Adding an md5 hash to the items.json would be a huge help.

It does nothing.

Khisanth.2948:

I was thinking of DreamHost VPS/Linode. Their cheapest plans meets what you described. DreamHost has no limits and inbound data is free for Linode so cost doesn’t change no matter how big the JSON file grows.

I may have to do something like this.

gw2stats.net recently crossed the 5TB bandwidth mark with my current hosting provider. I never expected that much traffic and I had a 500GB cap :/

smiley.1438:

@Chris: Thanks for that! Could you please also provide us icons for the “old” objectives in the same resolution? I believe most of us still use those in poor quality and in the old colors.

@Drakma: just wait for the maps api to be updated

But that would mean that I would have to do the work!

Awesome! Thank you so much. So can we assume that the matches.json will handle all of the wins and losses? Or is this something that will need to be done locally?

Also, will it be possible to get a high res version of the entire wvw map?
