Mails for Cutthroat Politics gone?

I just posted this as well. Same exact thing happened to me.

Support Token mails gone!

When I logged on today I saw the two emails, one from Gnashblade and one from Kiel. I opened them but didn’t take either one of their Support Tokens because my inventory was full.

I finish my daily and go back to reclaim them and the emails they sent out are gone! I assume this is not expected behavior. Has this happened to anybody else?

Event Details API Schema

I’m using the Jackson JSON library in Java to deserialize the Event Details data. One thing I noticed is that it seems that Event IDs are being used as a field in the Event Details returned objects. For example let’s say I make this call: https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/event_details.json?event_id=16554045-EFE8-4248-8B78-E4BB46CA94F5. In return I get this back:

{
  "events": {
    "16554045-EFE8-4248-8B78-E4BB46CA94F5": {
      "name": "Stop the skritt burglar before it escapes with the treasure.",
      "level": 29,
      "map_id": 24,
      "flags": [],
      "location": {
        "type": "sphere",
        "center": [
          -12077.3,
          -1391.04,
          -204.884
        ],
        "radius": 3500,
        "rotation": 0
      }
    }
  }
}

The way it’s written it looks like Event ID is actually a field and not an attribute. This doesn’t smell right to me since that implies that my Events object would have n fields where n is the number of events. I’v never seen JSON structured this way. Any thoughts on how to parse this in an object-oriented manner?

Thanks for the link! The attacking state is pretty neat so I can at leas know if an attempt is being made.

On my server (Stormbluff Isle) whenever I go to Orr the temples are always closed. Nobody is in the area trying to open them up. I’ve heard of other servers where they’re always open but have no idea which one it is.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the help everyone. I went into WvW and it looks like you need to be level 80 to really be productive. That’s my guess at least.

I think I’m going to try to do the jumping puzzles for now and if that doesn’t work then lesson learned!

I got lazy and didn’t do a good job of keeping track of my progress towards my Monthly. I’ve completed 3/4 tasks and have one more left. Here’s what I have left to choose from:

  • Spy on This! (11%)
  • Puzzle Jumper (8%)
  • Monthly WvW Player Kills (0%)
  • Fractal Frequenter (0%)

My understanding is that with two days left it will be impossible for me to complete “Spy on This!” because you can only get 50 of them per day. So I’m thinking it would be best for me to do the other 11 jumping puzzles? That would take a long time and I don’t know how hard it would be to solo them.

N00b starting pitfalls

Hi everyone! I’m new to GW2. I played GW1 a long time ago but didn’t get too far into the game. I was playing WoW recently because of a friend and thought I’d give this game a shot.

I built a Human Guardian. I like it so far but find it a lot more hectic than WoW and have ended up in some situations way over my head early on. Still it seems a bit more exciting than WoW combat.

If you could go back in time to give a n00b some advice what would you say?
