Guild Wars 2

I forgot to come back here…
So, the 2 problems were, it seems, unrelated.
And the one I described is fixed since the day someone pointed an auth server was done, and an official (don’t remember who) said it was a long time, everything should be ok etc. but since that moment, never had the white/black screen anymore.
Case closed.

Oh, it’s not a crash. The window just stay empty and you have to ALT+F4 to try and relaunch.
As this problem appeared approx. at the same time the other one pointed by OP, i wonder if they are linked.

My usual arguments are: -email x@y.z -password pw -nopatchui -shareArchive -32 -clientport:80 -maploadinfo

It happens quite randomly, but every time i tested without -shareArchive, it worked flawlessly.
EDIT: finally, i had one empty window case with only “-email -password -nopatchui”

While you’re at it Lawton, if you can confirm if it is or not in relation with: https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/63d0nw/log_in_problems_when_using_shortcuts/

Thank you!

Hmm, ok, i tried more endpoints.
I’m surprised to see this “Expires” on /v2/backstory/answers but not on /v2/account or /v2/characters/:id/core or /v2/account/wallet…
So, i can’t count on this to know how much time to keep data in cache.

SlippyCheeze, teach me your sorcery. Where do you see that? I’m using network tab of dev tool from Firefox.

darthmaim.6017:

Each response contains cache headers with the correct times used by the endpoint.

From what i see, it’s just the timestamp of when i received the json, not when it was cached on the server.

Tornupto.2304:

API was down for 1 to 3 days.

When i say “some times ago”, it was more than 3 weeks ago. I know about this down time.

darthmaim.6017:

That page is made for humans to view directly and doesn’t have Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers. You probably want to load https://api.guildwars2.com/v2.json instead if you want to process it with javascript.

I’m sure i tried with .txt, maybe .htm and .html and… !! How did i forget about .json? I’ll try next time. Thank you.

EDIT: retrieving /V2.json is perfect and even better. Feel so dumb i didn’t try “.json” when i tried some extensions…

Some times ago, I tried to retrieve the page https://api.guildwars2.com/v2 without success.

I tried $.getJSON() and many other things, don’t remember everything.
Before taking time to re-test that, i was wondering if anybody has the answer before.

Thank you!

Ohh, happy to see the API is back, and more, one of my suggestion starting to be implemented.
Thank you Lawton!

I always believed all endpoints was refresh on a 5minute timer. I recently learned, mainly because i wasn’t interested in TP before, /v2/commerce/listings has a 30s refresh.
Could these timers be reported in https://api.guildwars2.com/v2 details?
And maybe a timestamp in here to count from it to know the refreshes?
And to finish, le’ts be crazy, the number of requests/minute left for the actual IP?

API is down for the moment (Lawton disabeld it until tomorrow evening), so i can’t check. But i can tell you that: wiki is maintained by players, like you and me, and if this endpoint changed and nobody reports the changes on the wiki…

roj, all you propose to do by achievements will give me a per-account stats. I want a per-character.

Lawton, oh, i quickly took a look on the forum, and totally forgot to check Github for what i asked, sorry.
But all i can say to “I can probably have a PR for the details on github next week.” is “/me purrs”

LinseyMurdock.4165:

I’m happy to poke the Commerce Team about adding some kind of conversion to allow folks to condense multiple 25 use BL salvage kits into one larger kit. I only promise to poke, I can’t promise they will do it

Would it be such a problem to transform all “charges” items to quantities items?
Salvages and gathering tools would be a lot easier to manage. \o/

Even a 5 min. delay would be cool for me.
I thought i could display a minimap on my “account checker” just to remember where i disconnected with each character.

Many items fixed in https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/items these last days but still missing 46682, 46683,46743.
I believe it’s Crystalline Ore, Crystalline Ingot, Xunlai Electrum Ingot.

Beard passing through Adventurer’s Mantle.

@Muusic, well, you didn’t read.
@Ellianna, you don’t know the history of the case and why i prefer to try to reach Gaile.
@Penguin, i don’t have my GW2 rewards, but everything said to me i will have them when i linked my accounts.

I love this animosity from players who are not concerned when I just want a little help from Gaile.

Hi… Me again.
Yes, sorry for necropost…
But, with what io just learned…

It seems i have been banned for “manipulating GvG matches”.
Eh… HOW?!
I wasn’t playing GvG. Not classified.
Sometimes, to test builds with friends.

Is that manipulating ?
I seriously need to know and understand.

Said to me there was a thorough investigation…
If i was never playing GvG… How thorough can it be ?

Yes Vandrin, unfair… And more…
I bought :
[pre]ITEM Price Qty
Cook’s Outfit 700 1
Khaki Cargo Shorts 150 3
Casual Hoodie 200 4
Sport Sunglasses 150 2
Inventor’s Sunglasses 150 1
Boxing Gloves 300 1
Wind Kite 500 1

TOTAL 3200[/pre]

All of these were bought to fit as a set, mix and fun.

They just told me they don’t refund erveything and not neccessary the price you bought it.
I had 1190gems in refund.
Enjoy.

Hi.
The way i see it, we could enhance this to a really powerful tool.

First, having Followers and Blocked tab is confusing.
Better to unify those as filters in Friends tab. Now it could really be renamed “Contacts”.
Blocked people could be in dark red when displayed, Followers in pale gray.

Grouped people in blue is ok.

What about guildies? Cause you can’t join a friend in PvP in the guild panel, i have all of them as friends. I’d like to see them the same color as in the chat panel.
But only represented guild members. Could also be a filter.

Resume :
-Follower (filter): Pale gray.
—Guilded: Pale orange.
—Grouped: Pale blue.

-Friend: White.
—Guilded (filter): Orange.
—Grouped: Blue.

-Blocked (filter): Dark red.
—Guilded: Dark orange.
—Grouped: Purple.

I hope my idea will please so ANet would take a look.

Arah Light Armor Set.
Male sylvari necro.
Just need consistency with dyes for helm and shoulders.

This test with Midnight Ice, Bronze, White and Blue Rose.

Same bugs on same button in french client.
“Dele” becomes “Supp” instead of “Supprimer”.
And “Rese t” becomes “Réinitiali ser”.

I finally decided to give up… Support cares about facts, not willings and pleasure.
I asked to link MY second account, that always been a “stock account”.
But… It’s refused, ’cause i wanted this account to be for my cousin, but he never played.
And, yes, i registered the NCSoft account with HIS name.

But we can find on 2 characters the armors for my main character from my banned account. ‘cause it’s also MY account. But Support doesn’t care.
And everytime I have an answer, everytime it says me if i have more questions etc.
But i HAVE more questions. I wrote them. I tell it every time i answer. And no answer to those.

Why being an ANet client is a pain ?
Ok i made mistake, but NEVER TO ANNOY other players.
Do i deserve to be punished, ignored, etc. ?

A game used to be for pleasure. I only feel pain and regret.

All i remember is :
I used the DLL to have “HD Armor” (the one with also UT sounds if we want)
I tested XPadder to autowrite “Good morning” and “Bye” sentences in guild chan.
I tested another software to autocomplete the Excel files to follow advancement of characters in vanquish, storybooks, etc. (note the irony, it’s what the API would permit)
I registered my second account to the name of my cousin to “force” him to play with me (he never played).

That’s so horrible that they always say “NO” to everything i ask ?

The questions without answers :
I asked if it was useless to keep the information for old support account since the site changed.
I had on my banned account items belonging to my girlfriend. No way to retrieve them i think ?
I re-asked which soft caused me to be banned. The only one really used, and often, was for HD Armor.
I wrote the key codes from 4 cards, but don’t remember which one belongs to which account. So i asked for the information. No answer.

The worst in all of this is the only thing i really wanted is http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Chimeric_Prism_Focus

Let me mix my town clothes too!

I just see a lot loss of freedoms with this new system.
No more mix for my town clothes?
I’ll have to pay to use my sunglasses (transmutation required, no?)?
I’ll lose inventory rooms for toys and tonics?
Seriously?

I was hoping for a system like LotRO for the wardrobe.
I’m now totally disappointed. The more i play with ANet the more i lose…

And i didn’t see the information, PvP armor… will need to transmute too?

For Memories (thumbs attached)

Edit : i forgot the point where i used to do lvl79 for alternative skin sometimes, and now i would pay THREE TIMES what i was paying to do that…

Oh, i see.
What was written: “You can not link and receive”
But i understood: “You can not link. You can not receive.”
Instead of: “You can link but not receive.”
So why did they let me link ? If i were prevented since beginning, i could prepare another GW1 account maybe, etc.

Well. As support understood my good willing, as it’s 4 years ago, and not very well (and too late) explained, i was just begging for mercifulness.

SandraSolace.7682:

No worries, has your issue been looked at yet?

No. And all i understand from the quote of Inculpatus is that they CAN NOT be linked. But, they ARE actually.

So, “promises” by a lack of informations (everything saying i should have my rewards from GW1), some changes when too late for me to undo the things (bought the game, linked the accounts), and here i am…

I’m sorry if i disturbed you. I saw “Support” and “Account Issue” and was just hoping for a little view by Gaile Gray.

Hello.

I waited a long time before taking the decision to beg for this.

I’ve been banned on GW1. March 2010, the 3700 ban wave.
Some discussions with support, they admitted my good willing (my attempt was to make an autofill for an excel file to follow progressions between many characters) but they said the decision won’t be re-examined.

So, well, i went to LotRO until GW2 where i finally returned ’cause all my friends were asking for, etc.
I bought the game. Checked my HoM. 46/50. So i decided to link my accounts.
No problem was mentioned, even today we can see the message :

Félicitations ! Vous avez lié votre compte Guild Wars à votre compte Guild Wars 2. Vous pouvez accéder aux récompenses qui vous attendent dans le Panthéon des Hauts Faits. Les informations de comptes suivantes seront désormais utilisées pour vous connecter à Guild Wars et Guild Wars 2 :

English: Congratulations! You linked your accounts and can reach your rewards in HoM.

But some time before the launch, after many betas etc. a change to this: no rewards from HoM for banned accounts in GW1…
Without preventing? After letting me link my accounts with a congrats message?
I can’t even restart an GW1 account?

I can understand the initial ban, even if it was very HARD for what i wanted to do.
I hesitated to play the card “it’s my birthday” at launch, and at first birthday of GW2. (yes, i’m really born on the 30th august)

But now, ok, i put a knee on the ground.
I would like to see my GW1 account unban. Sometimes friends have nostalgia, they return on GW1… And i stay alone, on GW2.
At least, be fair, have my rewards.
SIX years without my GW1 account.
Just, please.

I’d like clarification on what they call “macro”.
And by clarification, i mean “staff answer”, not “player opinion” :p
As stated by many other players, assigning ONE key for ONE action to ONE button, it’s a hotkey, or a “layout redefinition”.
Doing a macro, it’as to have several keystroke and/or a script to do something.

So if i read their rules and they keep to use the word “macro”, it means i can attribute, for example, an autoit script ?
Little example, event if it’s useless, just for demonstration :
Macro to CTRL+SHIFT+1, call a autoit script that looks pixels in my health bublle, if it’s red, do nothing, if it’s “black”, need to heal, call keystroke(6) for heal skill?

But like uMod to replace TexMod, and a lot of other programs, they just keep “blur” on their definitions. That’s furstrating when we see the liberty on LotRO for example.

Thank you !
I don’t like Mumble and i’m happy to see this function on TS.

I would like something, don’t know if better to add it to Crosstalk, or a seperated plugin…

Well, i’d like to know if a plugin to autofill some informations is possible ?
For exemple, the pseudo, like : [$GuildTag] UsualPseudoOnTS ($actualchar)
And secondly, on the WvW TS, they added the possibility for users to choose their classes with selecting a group. Would it be possible to automatically do this ?

We know one of our commandant likes to spy other servers TS… so, if the plugin can also check the server and the map the user is on… and advertise or choose a SPY group… ? ^^’

I know the politic they HAD. I aks for the one thay WILL have.

Cliff Spradlin.3512:

This policy was written before we had APIs available, and needs to be updated to make it clear that we encourage app development and usage.

Can we hope, as we ask for it since many years, since TexMod, an “Validated App List” or something like that ?
Event if you check one app per week. Just for peace of mind…

Since i’ve been banned on GW1 just for trying to have something (auto-completion of an Excel file on which zones which char vanquished, etc.) like what you’ll implement with the API…

I don’t like thoe new cicrcles too.
Maybe an option to tick to have one or another choice would be great.

I understood the OP’s doubt.
The software has to “recognize” GW2.
IF GW2 has not the “focus”, the GW2Stuff overlay is not “thruclicable”.

The doubt is an “hack&exploit detect engine” from ANet could take it as an hack or something else.

I agree with him.
And i would like to see another feature when using "Fast-Cast Ground Targeting": a way to know the distance.
Easiest could be a different color for the cursor when at 600, 900, 1200 and 1500.

OR just launch the skill at his higher possible distance, but in the direction of the cursor when the cursor os too far.

My best choie would be to see all those 3 ideas implemented *dreams*

Ok, i bought a cheap blue one with a cheap rune and did a test.
It’s a display bug, maybe even with the exotic so.
When i was transmutating, no rune was showed. But the rune slot is here after the transmutation.

Even if it works, even if it keeps the slot rune, there is still a display bug or a lck of informations in the procedure and it must be reviewed by officials.
I won’t break an exotic just to test. They have to repair it.

Thank you. But i don’t care about giving an item from one char. to another.

I know it’s a white. I know how it was working before the 26th february.
My mesmer kept his starter mask, transmuted on an exotic lvl80 WITH a slot rune.

Now my thief is ready to do the same… BUT they changed the way the transmutation works.
I’m asking if it’s a BUG or an intentional CHANGE.

Hi ! Since the update of the 26th february, my girdlfrien found a problem with transmutation’s stones.

If we take a white item, without rune slot, like my “Anonymity Mask”, and would like to transmute on my fresh new lvl80 exotic mask… no way to keep the rune.
I had nothing to test further to know if we lose only the rune or really lose the rune slot.

Is it intended as a new change ? Or a bug ?
If it’s a change, it’s, pardon me the word but hey, stupid ! Why can’t i keep my start mask ?

Ok. I didn’t find this information in the changelog…
Not really cool for “earliers” but ok. Thanks.

Last time i bought those gloves for my necro… i didn’t really payed attention to the rune.
Yesterday i bought the Mantle, and i saw all the stuff has a Superior Rune… but not on my gloves !

Just a bug ? A changement ? I have to re-bought the gloves to obtain the rune ? I saw none on the Trading Post…

Race: Norn
Gender: Male
Class: Warrior
Armor Piece: Gladiator Helm

Preview tested with many characters from my guildmates. I’m alone with this problem... the nose... too long... clipping... *sigh and cry*

Death Reincarnated.3570:

It should not be possible to have 7/6 Runes.

It’s ok for me, i understand “7/6” as “7 runes equipped (not in use, equipped)/the RuneSet needs 6 runes to be complete”.
So “7/6” is not a “fraction” where the up number needs to be inferior to the down one. It’s just a shortcut to explain what i wrote.

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

Oops, I was mistaken. It’s once, period, per account. Sorry for the confusion!

Once per account… for both Lion’s Arch and Mists ? Or once for LA, once for Mists ?

Cause after your first say, i went to Mists to try. Tixx told me like the first time in Lion’s Arch, but after, no reward in the chest.
I’m not sure i clearly understood you. ^^’

But the real problem is i arrived on this post searching informations about another chest bug, the one in the Wintersday jumping. I did it 5 minutes after daily reset, as i already did another day… and got NOTHING in the chest… same bug as the Tixx’s chest or another ?

Thank you for help.

I really DON’T appreciate the way the support managed the communication about this…
BUT a BIIIIG thanks to the dev(s) who fixed this problem with one of this week-end’s update !

But really, the support needs to learn how to communicate, many players have the feeling to be simply answered “Shut up and wait” after opened a ticket for a bug, or other issue.

Many updates and still nothing about this…

There is not only QWERTY US layout in the world… please, restablish our key !

What is your keyboard layout ? Wasn’t sure there is a key at this place in QWERTY.

EDIT : Finally checked myself. In US QWERTY, there is no key between Z and Shift.
I hope they’ll mind for all others that HAVE a key here.

In lately update, you put :
MAC BETA CLIENT

Fixed a bug that prevented players using Apple keyboard varieties other than US English from binding the key to the left of the “1” key in the Control Options panel.

Ok, fine for them. But now, on a Windows Seven system, with an AZERTY Keyboard, i can’t no more use my key near the left shift, it acts as the key ² you fixed for MAC users.

I use this key to “Stow/Draw weapons”, give it back to me
