One decimal place is ok, two starts getting into the limitations of IEEE floats and the calls to the API get turned into nonsense.

?
Maybe I’m missing something here, but even single precision IEEE is good for 7.2 digits
(1 part in 2^24).

GemQty = ExchRate * GoldQty should be good to 6.9 digits.

Even calculating the exchange rate in single precision
(ie, ExchRate = 0.85*TPGemStockpile/TPGoldStockpile) should yield 6.0 digits.

On a possibly related note, a few months ago I posted on what appeared to be a back end rounding error: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/TP-currency-xchg-rounding-error (to summarize: I bought 1 gem with gold and was charged approximately 150% of the current exchange rate). Another player suggested this was intentional (buying more gems gave you a volume discount), but since it was only noticeable for very small quantities of gems, I find that hard to believe.

Several (more than 100) players appear simultaneously on the NA and EU achievement leaderboards. Picking one example completely at random, Calixtus.8617 appears both on https://leaderboards.guildwars2.com/en/na/achievements/world/Ehmry%20Bay
and on https://leaderboards.guildwars2.com/en/eu/achievements/world/Piken%20Square.

(If I were to hazard a guess, I suspect that the data is being cached somewhere between the sever(s) responsible for maintaining the rankings and the server(s) responsible for delivering the web page and there is no mechanism in place to flush the cache entries when a player transfers from one region to another. As the saying goes, there’s 2 hard things about computer programming: cache invalidation, naming things, and off by one errors ).

On a somewhat related issue, I can routinely invoke 500 errors on the leaderboard servers by trying to simultaneously download 4 or so different pages simultaneously, so I think you have other issues there as well.

I noticed some odd things with the currency exchange, so just to prove it wasn’t acting correctly, I selected custom exchange, changed the gem quantity to 1, the price changed to 26.88 even though the current exchange rate was below 16.00/gem, (ie, if I changed the gem quantity to say 100, the price was <16 gold). Just to prove it really was busted, I went through with the 1 gem purchase, and sure enough my account was deducted 26.88 (when in reality it should have cost <16.00) . If you’d like, I can provide screen shots to back up my statements (although it should be simple for you to reproduce the problem w/o the screen shots) . Not a huge deal (seems like some sort of a rounding error that’s only noticeable when exchanging very small gem quantities), but please fix.

Thanks, I feel so stupid.

I went to craft some ascended mats on my warrior (like i do every day) and couldn’t even though i had all the required mats and hadn’t crafted since reset (attached screenshot – shows all mats that are required, shows that haven’t been crafted since reset (otherwise there’d be a countdown timer), but still craft button greyed out).

(I had the same problem with mithrillium on this toon).

Switched to my ranger and had no problem (screenshot attached).

Not a huge deal (as long as it only lasts for 1 day), but a bug nonetheless.

Edit: you only allow attaching one image?? wtf? well i guess you’ll have to take my word then that it worked with my ranger (i assure you it did).

Forged 3 in LA on Sorrow’s Furnace and didn’t get credit.

Evon is not that kind of Charr.

He already absconded with stolen property in the candidate trials, so I think we all know “what kind of Charr” he is.

BTW, I never said I was against him; sleazy politicians are sometimes the most effective (and always far more interesting).

And Kiel didn’t?

No, she didn’t. In fact she gave her Charr lieutenant (who suggested she use it to fund her campaign, like Evon did) explicit instructions to return the stolen property to the rightful owners.

I hope you guys realize it doesn’t matter who you vote for because Evon’s going to stuff the ballot box.

Ellen’s only chance is to catch him in the act.

Please for the love of god make Tab targeting actually select the nearest player! I don’t care where my mouse is looking. When I press tab I want to target the person attacking my side not the person 50 ft. away.

This would be a separate bind called ‘Target Nearest’. Tab targeting is meant to cycle through targets with some priority that may or may not start with your closest target. For instance, tab could prefer targets towards the center of your screen, and not necessarily the closest.

There already is a bind for “Nearest Enemy” (default binding : none), but it seems to do the same thing as the first use of “Next Enemy” (aka Tab).

I got pretty good at using these two binds (+"Previous Enemy" if I overshot by 1) in GW1 to pick targets very quickly, usually much faster than using the mouse (plus you could target things off screen – like the enemy attacking you from behind). Unfortunately this technique doesn’t work very well in GW2 because of its strange idea of what “nearest” means.

Did this twice (on 2 different accounts) – first time no problem; second time, at end Inspector Kiel read her first one or two lines, but then went silent (Canach continued reading his lines to the end).
No big deal, just thought you should know.
