This is still very painful for me to bare … enough time has passed, can we get a Dev Tracker link per forum now? pleaseeeeee. I want to follow arenanet’s dev posts but am tired of reading account support type posts.
No one, really? I guess I am the only one trying to read them.
I will say no more.
This isn’t a bug per say, but I didn’t see where we should request forum features.
Can we get a link that shows dev posts for each specific forum?
I love the idea of tracking developer discussions, but the existing Dev Tracker forum is off-topic for most the things I am interested in researching.
The use of root names in the JSON API is currently inconsistent. Right now if you query the /event_names.json endpoint you get ….
<code>
[{"id":“D1323424-379E-4FED-9DF0-1D7763329BC7”,“name”:“Stop the skritt burglar before it escapes with the treasure.”},{…},{…},{…}]
</code>
… but if you query the /events.json endpoint you get …
<code>
{"events":[{"world_id":1001,map_id,“event_id”:“A8D1A2B7-1F1B-413D-8E64-06CA0D26712D”,“state”:"Inactive"},{…},{…},{…}]}
</code>
In the second example you are using a root name. I would love to see all data from the api returned this way for consistency. To reiterate, the 1st example SHOULD be ….
<code>
{"event_names":[{"id":“D1323424-379E-4FED-9DF0-1D7763329BC7”,“name”:“Stop the skritt burglar before it escapes with the treasure.”},{…},{…},{…}]}
</code>
If you’d like me to argue the case for why a little further I would be happy to, but I think in most circles this is obviously the preferred way to return model data.
Thoughts from the API dev team?
Please fix this!!!
Since I hit 80 and completed my personal storyline one month after launch I have had this issue where I can’t read the last step of my story. I’m amazed this bug is still around.
