Wrong 4th birthday gift backpack!!!!!!

I did this too, and now I’m stuck with yet another “lumpy pile of assorted garbage” backpack. It’s ridiculous that after 10 years of every character getting every birthday present every year they’d suddenly change it up and make just one item account-wide.

Loading Screen Freezes On Login or Map Change

I’ve had this same issue since I got a new laptop with a 970M in it. If your display is set to Full Screen, try changing it to Windowed Fullscreen. That prevents the loading freeze for me.

Issues with character art, weapons, or armor?

Race: Human
Gender: Female
Item: Wreath of Cooperation

Description:

The new gem store helm skin “Wreath of Cooperation” has a really awful effect where the leaves elongate into blurred spikes while your character is running. I sure hope this is a bug.

Frustration and failure - Forced wait times

I don’t recall being particularly annoyed with the seasonal jumping puzzles (quickly gave up on clock tower because it wasn’t fun, completed wintersday), but a friend of mine did complain that completing the jumping puzzles on a computer with low specs was very difficult when the areas were crowded. I think he ended up waiting until like 3 AM to finish them. That would be another very good reason to add an instanced option for this type of event.

Change PvP to be more similar to WvW / PvE

You are missing the whole point of PvP, which is that you don’t have to grind levels and gear to compete. Easy entrance into PvP is an integral part of the Guild Wars franchise.

[API Suggestion] World vs World

in API Development

Posted by: Felix Omni.3829

Felix Omni.3829

Seems rather needless if you ask me. You can easily get this information.

I’ve been doing it since day 1 of the API in gw2stats.net

The information is available but not through the API, that’s the problem. Unless you’re saying otherwise?

[API Suggestion] World vs World

in API Development

In keeping with Cliff’s request here, this is a thread for suggestions and requests for the World vs World API, which includes:

https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/wvw/matches.json

https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/wvw/match_details.json

https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/wvw/objective_names.json

I think the number one suggestion/request in this category (at least as far as I’m concerned) is that the API needs to provide more information on objectives, in particular the actual objective name instead of just “Tower” and the point value and/or “type” of the objective. Right now these things have to be hardcoded, and that’s pretty lousy. (Though thanks to the people in this thread, we at least have an accurate list for the time being.)

Another request I’ve seen is giving us the current point value “incomes” of each team alongside the total scores. If we get the point values of each objective this will be less necessary, but it would still be convenient.

That’s all I’ve got; please add to the thread with your suggestions and requests.

I’m working on a WvW Tracker app for Android, I’ll update this post with a repo link when I’ve created one.

Wiki page for API

TimeBomb is correct; the wiki license is not the same as the API license and that should be made clear. That being said, there’s no reason to have the full text of the licensing on the wiki article if we’re just linking to it on the forums, so I cleaned it up a bit.

As a wiki administrator, I’d like to request that any further discussion of the API article take place on its talk page on the wiki where everyone can see it.

Are you requesting that the wiki article be changed to point to the forum thread instead of containing any actual information?

Rangers do low AoE? Try a Longbow with Piercing Arrows. Heck, Barrage alone will tag entire waves.

There is a LFG tool….just saying
No its not a “push a button wait in Q to get auto grouped” tool
but it is there, use it and spread the word for others to use it too!

Frankly, I don’t even know what the LFG thing does. I used it, and my status in the guild roster changed to a blue square indicating I was looking for a group. Except I was actually looking for one more person to fill a group, and the only other person online in my guild was already in the group with me.

This happened to me when I was trying to find players for Twilight Arbor explorable. After 3 messages over the course of 5 minutes, I was locked out of all public chat for half an hour. I asked another player in the group to send a couple of LFG messages; we got one more player and then he got locked out for half an hour. We asked that player to find someone, and he got locked out too. In the end it took nearly an hour to fill a group because we were literally prohibited from finding players. This is entirely unacceptable.

Ranger Bug 'Obstructed'

I’ve experienced this as well, though it isn’t limited to Rapid Fire. I’ve had it happen with the Warrior’s rifle skill Volley as well. The “Out of Range” part, though, seems to occur when your target moves in an unexpected direction and your arrow doesn’t hit, the same as the “Dodge” mechanic in Guild Wars. It’s a misleading label though.
