Guild Wars 2

Disclaimer 04/2014:
1) I am no longer playing GW2 and hence developing this overlay. If you are interested in this work, feel free to grab the code on GitHub and modify it to your convenience as long as you are referencing my name and this page.
2) Because of the megaservers, in its current form this app is not up to date and returns wrong results.

Dear Mac users,

You have been forgotten for too long and I am here to correct the wrong. You now have an events overlay for your favorite game.

• Features:
  - Display active events by world.
  - Display active worlds by event.
  - Link closest waypoint on /g or /s using Applescript (but only in fullscreen) or copy waypoint to clipboard.
  - Play a sound notification when an event goes active.
  - A full preference pane to change colors/opacity/events to watch.

• How to use in fullscreen mode:
  When fullscreen, click where the overlay is supposed to be. It will make it appear foreground. You might have to repeat this procedure after a loading screen.

• Requirements:
  - OS X 10.8

• Known bugs:
  - Event list doesn’t resize when resizing window. Workaround: change world.

• Will not do:
  - Timers: The app only displays the API. It is not my intention to code some server side script to monitor the API 24/7.

I understand this might not be the best visual looking app but it is effective to do its job.

I am looking forward to hearing your feedback

We’re aware of the issue preventing Tequatl from spawning. We’re investigating the issue and will update you when we have more information. Thank you.

What a poor, canned response. A community team lead should know that a response like that just will not cut it. We UNDERSDTAND you don’t have answers – however telling us that while sounding like Siri just isn’t acceptable. (Hint, a little empathy goes a long long way!)

Finally some insight 14+ hours later…

Yep the dates would be great.
And not only the last post date, but first post date would be great too…

Looking through the forums is a bit harsh now.

I’m pretty sure the op means show the date in the list of posts – at least that’s what I was agreeing with – so, something like:
Subject……. Author…….Replies…….Views…….Last Poster…….Date of Last Post

Could we make it so that a date appears next to last poster? It’s strange that it’s not already displayed. It helps a lot with browsing. Thanks.

I agree. I’m surprised that something so basic wasn’t included to begin with.
