Guild Wars 2

I actually thought it would be “relatively easy”. All the information is listed on the map screen and when hovering over each individual map. But that doesn’t have any connection to the API? Code wise, there most be some scripts already collecting all the information.

I was messing around with the skill_challenges in /v2/continents/ and heropoints in /v2/characters/ and found some odd things.

I assume /v2/characters/:id/heropoints should hold every heropoint a character has completed, but at least one of my characters seem to miss some in it. The following character has 100% in the 4 HoT zones, but seem to be missing every entry for the hero challenges /v2/characters/Yfri Lokisdöttir/heropoints

The next odd thing I found was that some heropoint ids from the character data (“0-76” and “0-77” as an example) isn’t listed in /v2/continents/ when searching for them in either Tyria or Mists.

Lastly, some of the characters have heropoints listed they for sure haven’t completed. One id I found was “0-75”, which seem to be in Sparkfly Fen. One character, Harald Mimirson, have never been on the map. Another, Taria Helmsplitter, can see the hero challenge on the map, but haven’t completed it.

Are there other places where Heropoints or Hero Challenges are listed that I might have missed for them not showing?

A last thing to add. I was doing some calculation of the amount of heropoints characters would have left from the character data in the api and got the following

The “Points Left” part didn’t seem right and I checked ingame and added the “Actual Points Left” column to the table.

The code which generated the table can be found here

I have managed to make it work with a hex edit.
I looked through the exe with HxD and found an instance that looked like G.u.i.l.d. .W.a.r.s. .2. For some reason this didn’t get caught by searching the normal way, so I changed to search by hex instead:
47 00 75 00 69 00 6C 00 64 00 20 00 57 00 61 00 72 00 73 00 20 00 32
and replaced with:
47 00 75 00 69 00 6C 00 64 00 20 00 57 00 61 00 72 00 73 00 20 00 33

The 32 is the number 2 and 33 the number 3.

Confirmed this works.

So basically, I just had to change my HEX Edit macro to (be sure to use CTRL+Home each time to reset cursor at start of file):

- change the first instance of “Guild Wars 2” to “Guild Wars 3”
- change the first instance of “47 00 75 00 69 00 6C 00 64 00 20 00 57 00 61 00 72 00 73 00 20 00 32” to “47 00 75 00 69 00 6C 00 64 00 20 00 57 00 61 00 72 00 73 00 20 00 33”

After messing around with Launchbuddy, shortcut command lines, etc., I remember why HEX Edit macro rules over other methods (secure, no need to worry about patches, etc.). Anyway, thanks so much and if it does eventually break again, I have other methods to fall back on next time.

Could you share your method of doing the hex edit with a macro?

Can’t say anything about the cooling room, as I did that one a couple days before the patch where it worked.

The change to the turrets inside the Thaumanova Reactor Fractal has made it so you can’t get the Bottle of Thaumanova Energy for Bolt III: Zap. I ensured I had the buff while trying, both with and with shield and Mistlock Singularity.

Picture of old turret shot vs new turret shot is added.

Taimi can still be bugged.
Her last line is “I think so. We’re almost at the top of the source!”

So the case is, Tendril Torchers is bugged for me. Mind you, I can clear it fine, get gold every time. The adventure even show I got it, but it wont give me the kitten masterie point.

Are there any solution to this? Remember a post saying you should empty your tp, but there is currently nothing in it.

I got it to work again.

Go into C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Guild Wars 2
Delete or rename the local.dat (for example local_old.dat)
I also had a lot of files named like GFXSettings.Gw2.000.xml, so I deleted all files with the xml ending.

I then ran gw2.exe. This created a new local.dat and a new GFXSettings.Gw2.exe.xml, and I could now get into Diessa Plateau.

A last comment. This will require you to insert your username and password again, as this is saved in the local.dat file.

Same error, same ip address.
My Chronomancer is in Diessa right now, and he have all my good stuff, like salvage o matic and watchwork mining pick.

Maniac Brown, Lunatic Yellow and Insanity Red seems to be listed under Common dyes, even though they are of rare quality.

Has he somehow become immune to aggro?

Still not working, it’s like he is immune to aggro

When I start gw2.exe, I get this error message. It only pops up the first time I start the game, while all subsequent runs just makes the normal windows UAC pop up. After the UAC, I can play the game without problems, and it updates too.
I have tried running the game as administrator, but didn’t work. I have tried a complete reinstall of the game, with a new gw2 setup file, not working either.

I am using windows 7 64 bit.

He probably refers to the Tricks and Treats Collection http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Tricks_and_Treats

Bandit Leena is standing next to the cage, but the conversations and behavior of her and the nearby guards seems to indicate that she should be inside the cage instead.
The conversation can be seen in the chat.
Edit: Located at Fort Vandal in Brisban Wildlands

I’ll try setting some of them a little lower then.

I experience crashes during world boss events. It happens part way through the event, and forces me to restart the client.
Today I got two crashes. The first crash happened at the start of Kill Admiral Taidha Covington, and the last at Karka Queen about 20 sec after it spawned.

I experience this on my male sylvari elementalist and female human guardian, but not on my female norn thief and male asura mesmer. My female char warriors feet can be seen, but they are almost out of view.
Is it every character for you, or is it specific race/sex/profesion combinations?

My name is Presac, 22 years of age and looking for a guild on Desolation which does PvE. I have played the game since the start but haven’t done much in dungeons (only story so far). I would like to do more in fractals and dungeons (Arah for those annoying tokens needed for legendary).
I live in Denmark (so gmt +1) and is online an hour or two in the evening. I play all days, except for most weekends (together with family).

I can use Teamspeak, mumble or any other chat program needed (as long as it is free).
My main is an 80 Ele, but tend to play a 60 mesmer and 50 guarding (they will get higher).
As a final note, I am willing to do guesting if there are interresting guilds on another server.
(Favorite part of the game is JPs.)

The last fight against the bloody prince isn’t even that hard. It can even be soloed. I remember last year, where you had to fight the Mad King, it was actually a hard fight, so it was a little anti climatic to fight the bloody prince. I hope that wasn’t all we are going too see about him, because then it is obvious why he got locked in the chest.

Are there any European guilds that does this? (maybe in Desolation?) I have had more dungeon runs that went horribly wrong than the opposite. I have managed to clear the story mode in all of them, but when explorable starts, something just happens with the groups I find.

I have 100% on every map in Shiverpeaks and Maguma, but it still says 99% on the explorer achievement. I have even gotten the item you need for legendary weapons when you clear all of the world.
