Guild Wars 2

Hello all,

Just published a Java (Spring Boot) wrapper for the API, useful for AWS or Google Cloud. I’m currently using it on a mobile app I’m developing and works wonderfully under AWS.

https://github.com/nievesj/springboot-wrapper-gw2

Still a lot to be done but it’s usable in it’s current form so feel free to fork away.

Awesome! This clears it up! Thanks!

Hello,

I searched but couldn’t find a direct answer, what is the policy regarding the use of API image resources, for example currency icons, on mobile apps/sites?

I’m currently building a mobile app based around the api and I’m “caching” and re-sizing the images on device so I don’t have to re-download them every time they are needed. Is this an allowed usage?

App is going to be free with no ads, I’m just building it as a portfolio piece.

Please advise, thanks!

I’m on the same boat

Ticket: 891555

Had 4 commander tags and received a canned email that all accounts entitled to a refund had received already, I have not.

Commander toons
Zheenn
Alondra Del Mar
Lorean Alisk
Snowy Bum.

I have looked at the email on all the characters that had commander tags and none of them had a refund email.

Absolutely nothing happened in Crystal Desert… oh well.

If the new system is getting people interested, ill say this is a perfect start for the new matchup system.

People: “WE DONT LIKE TO SEE THE COMMANDER TAG! TAKE IT OFF ITS ANNOYING AND IT OFFENDS ME! TAKE. IT. OFF!”

Anet: “Let me stealth try something..”

People: “OMG WHAT HAVE YOU DONE I CANNOT SEE THE COMMANDER!!!!1!!11ONE!1!!1ELEVEN!1!11!!”

None of this bickering over server transfers will matter next week.

QuartzMoped.2370:

Am I wrong?

Yes.

Welcome! Now lets crack some skulls!

Wuffy.9732:

Thanks Sunflowers. Yes it does suck, a whole lot!!!!

@MrKnieves, I do place siege far away. Really far away! Yet, eles still manage to perfectly aoe them from beyond the walls.

That should tell you that is not far enough.

Using skills is cheating now? Maybe you should place the seige farther away.

Super useful, specially in Orr. When I map into orr I usually look for a tag to find the action or temple events running, if no one is using it I pop mine up. If someone doesn’t like it tough luck.

Find another guild and use mumble, TS3, get off the jail you’ve created for yourself and live a little.

Sin.4130:

…. You can win against a skilled player only by luck and this is absolutely insane and need to be fixed because god forbid I suck at playing this game..

There, fixed your comment for you.

Truga.5897:

MrKnieves.4162:

If you guys are so afraid of thieves then don’t engage them.

How can I choose not to engage something that I can’t even see and is the fastest class in the game?

Make one and learn how to beat them. Hint: Is not that hard. And stop saying they stealth permanently, they don’t, believing otherwise shows how little you know about the class..

“Right now” doesn’t really works for anyone. They have acknowledged the issue, alas, they are working on it. Have patience or stop playing until they find a solution.

If you guys are so afraid of thieves then don’t engage them.

Forums and video games, SERIOUS BUSINESS!!!

There are ways to kill trebs without being inside SMC…

Thieves are fine the way they are, if one kills you it means you have zero to no armor and or skill.

They drop. I got 5 yesterday in Orr in less than an hour. It helps that I had around 200mf

Using mist form is cheating now?

Easy, don’t fight thieves, problem solved!

I spent two hours yesterday upgrading and seiging up Ogre Watch to get it ready for SoS, but they spend that much amount of time trolling Durios/Brovost. When they finally came I had to go to sleep, I was a sad puppy.

You guys realize that CD is also a PvE heavy server, right?

Just wait a couple weeks. It seems they are revamping or at least taking a second look at WvW so several changes will be on its way.

Scrambles.2604:

i tend to only play WvW, and i have never done the jump puzzle, so i guess this changes nothing for me…except maybe i might notice more people in the zerg, and less “is there a mes in jp?” chat spam, haha.

The people on the JP was putting up with fights and enemies just to get to the chest and had no interest what so ever with WvW, so no, you won’t see more people on the field.

All my characters are main so I dont know what you;re talking about.

60v60? LOL, that must be some awesome lag and slideshow. On T4 we have plenty of 30v30 daily and is a nightmare, and my PC is on the bleeding edge.

Servers still have queues? lol!

Ljiona.9142:

Higher tier…commander drops a ram; people build.

Lower tier….people beat on a door. Some asks if anyone has a ram. Someone drops it. No one has supply. Ram disappears. People beat on door with sword till it is down.

It’s more like:
EB without a commander
Team Chat: Pug1: Mendon just flipped!
Team Chat: Pug2: Ill go with my party
Team Chat: Pug3: Ok, I have three people with me so we’re heading to Speldan

While On Mendon
Pug:1: drops ram and team builds
Pug3: Speldan flipped come resupply!
Pug3 arrives at Mendon drops ram and it gets built

5 minutes later Mendon is Flipped and everyone goes with whatever they were doing.

The current system works as intended. Everything is balanced, but balance means there’s no appropriate way of climbing up the ladder without a steady influx of new players, so we’re stuck where we are. Which also means that the current score system needs to be revamped.

As it stands the current systems rewards amount of people over skill, there’s nothing wrong with that but that also means that the current top will stay at the top.

They are not going to remove it, however, they might “enhance” it by implementing a sort of “WXP” for PvE. Yay for more grinding. >.>

Doubtful. I spent around $170 on gems in the last two weeks and all I’ve got was one exotic and like 15 rares, this while using a %175 MF. So no.

Awwww I don’t want to be blue!

CHIPS.6018:

Hardcore WvWers means those that spend 80%+ of their total playtime in WvW. They spend less than 20% of their time doing PvE or sPvP.

Debatable.

CHIPS.6018:

My question is why would a hardcore WvWer stay in tier 4 or below? Wouldn’t you want to hang out with other hardcore WvWers? Wouldn’t you want to play alongside organized guilds with better tactics? Wouldn’t you want better coverage? Wouldn’t you want tougher competition?

Ummm, so people playing on T4 or below servers are not organized and lack tactics? lol. Funny and very shortsighted. I enjoy the small community my “unorganized” server has.

CHIPS.6018:

If friendship is important, and that’s the only reason to stay, why not just transfer as a server? Instead of a guild transfer, just get all the hardcore WvWer in a server (regardless of guild) to all transfer at the same time. It is the friendship that’s important, not the server.

Sure lets all spend ++70g to move with a server with queues… oh way I rather spend that money elsewhere.

CHIPS.6018:

If money is a problem (common problem for a WvWer), you can start running dungeons and killing PvE bosses. Even playing casually you should make enough to transfer within a month at most.

So by your definition on the top that person wold not be a hardcore wvw’er any longer.

CHIPS.6018:

If you play that much WvW, I personally see very little reason to stay in tier 4 or below. So enlighten me.

[/quote]

Why not? No queues, better community, everyone knows each other, better tactics and organization. What I see are no reasons to move to a bloated server.

Skill > Gear stats.

I’ve seen people get slaughtered with toughness/vitality armor while I laugh at their corpses while wearing full MF gear.

Dips for pink!!!!!!

thievery.2701:

I don’t run this setup but I find it funny that people think warrior is the most killable class. I wont go too much into my build but I have mostly pvt gear and I run sword/shield & greatsword. I don’t die unless I decide I’m going to go down with the ship so to speak. Even then, I’m one of, if not the last man standing in a losing fight, not counting those who ran away of course :P The most killable class is the one with the worse person playing it.

This. And I’m pretty sure we’re using the same build.

Relying on mercenary armies usually have awful results.

Some of the best fights I’ve had this week have been on EB!

How can you fix something that’s not broken?

It has made things far more interesting to say the least. We are not here to play Sim City, we are here to destroy things.

Not sure what people are complaining about. We were on SBIBL last night, took garrison, stayed a couple hours trolling and then most people left because they have other things to do. Do you seriously expect us to play this game 24/7? You do know we lack coverage, right?

But anyway, I took my guild to SBIBL last night, and for several of my guildies it was their first time in WvW, it was super hilarious to see them attacking all the beasts, collect all the material nodes and ask “when do we complete this dungeon”, lol. But they all had fun and were asking when we were going to be there again, so that’s good.

Nexxia.5641:

Terrible guild. I pity the server whos wvw spots they take. They give maps away for fun.

For fun eh? I would say that’s ok, this is a game so fun is the most important thing to have.

Rising Dusk.2408:

Azure Prower.8701:

It’s not like you guys are even trying any more…

As much as I’d love to lie and say our / CD’s 8AM NA coverage is good, it’s not, and you know it’s not, so I have no idea what you’re expecting to see.

LOL I guess he expects that people dedicate their lives to this game, instead of working/school.

stinkypants.8419:

We’ve lost three Wv3 guilds since the SoS/SBI/CD match up began. Not huge numbers, but definitely some of the more experienced players and a couple commanders.

We only lost 3 SEA guilds, even tho I still see their tags around a lot so those stranded might join other guilds, just because a guild leader decides to leave doesn’t mean all guild members will. That being said, I know of several people that are tired of the current matchup and are taking a break until we either go down one tier or something else happens.

stinkypants.8419:

CD’s has diminished afaik.

We have, I’m tired of this matchup already so I’m taking a break from WvW for a while, last time I did that I got 3 dungeon armor sets for each of my toons, so I’m afraid of what I’ll do now, probably a legendary, or a commander hat for each of my toons, well see.
