Guild Wars 2

I have a little site that I use to power gw2w2w.com that has a few extra endpoints to do what you’re looking for. Feel free to use it, though no guarantees on uptime, or check the source and run your own (node.js).

https://github.com/fooey/gw2w2w-state

I think this https://github.com/mtodor/gw2emblem is the original creater of the SVG extracts

Awesome work by the way! I’d been thinking of making an editor, but yours is great!

http://guilds.gw2w2w.com uses Heroku for hosting, and they just announced today that they’re restricting the free tier to 18 hours per day, which of course means the site’s usefulness is severly diminished

https://blog.heroku.com/archives/2015/5/7/new-dyno-types-public-beta

It looks like I have until July to come up with a new hosting option, but I wanted to try to give the community sites who rely on the service a heads up just in case

They aren’t used as much, but my other sites are at risk of going away too

edit (2015-05-31):
I’ve gone ahead and setup a VPS where these projects will live going forward. Still sad about heroku, but I’ll be keeping everything online indefinitely.

Whew, I thought I’d broken something on my side

all the API things are broken too =(

Hey all, I built http://guilds.gw2w2w.com/

It lets you view, and download or hotlink your guild emblems off the site

For example: http://guilds.gw2w2w.com/guilds/ArenaNet
Emblem: http://guilds.gw2w2w.com/guilds/ArenaNet/256.svg
Giant Size: http://guilds.gw2w2w.com/guilds/ArenaNet/2048.svg

The site needs works, but I thought people might find it useful and I’d love to get some feedback on what I might be able to do to make it easier to use

edit:
Here are a some sites using the emblems already
http://gw2w2w.com/en/fort-aspenwood
http://wvwintel.com/
http://wlec.shivtr.com/pages/Guilds

So far as my WvW guild is concerned, EOTM might as well not even exist

Too much PVE, too hard to get around the map, obnoxious debalancing (de)buffs, annoying to ferry everyone to one instance, and if you don’t have a guild group, it’s 100% impossible to coordinate any reasonably sized group.

Hmm, the colors are way too dark/bright/wrong: http://guilds.gw2w2w.com/guilds/Veterans-Of-Lions-Arch/256.svg compared to: http://gw2.chillerlan.net/examples/gw2emblems.php?guild_id=75FD83CF-0C45-4834-BC4C-097F93A487AF&size=256

Have you seen this: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/community/api/API-Suggestion-Guilds/2155863 (plus postings before and after)

I’ll have to see what I can do about the colors, the emblem rendering is based on https://github.com/mtodor/gw2emblem, and he uses a hardcoded color list. I’ll see if I get better results pulling from the api directly

Goddchen.4958:

“An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. Please try again in a few moments.” Over quota or something?

yeah, got more traffic than I expected, and it probably wasn’t ready for public consumption

Here’s the site: http://guilds.gw2w2w.com/

And a couple examples:
http://guilds.gw2w2w.com/guilds/Spirit-Of-Faith
http://guilds.gw2w2w.com/guilds/Spirit-Of-Faith/256.svg

Basically I was working on rendering the emblems server side for a rewrite I’m working on, and this seemed like it could be a useful thing to pull out into it’s own site

It’s super super super simple and not user friendly, but I wanted to get it out to there to see if there’s any interest, and if anyone has ideas on things to add.

One thing I want to look at is rendering the svg’s as png too, but I’m running this on Heroku’s free tier, so there’s isn’t much space to work with.

My goal for ascended armor is to flat-out ignore that it exists and to hope that enough other people do as well that it doesn’t shift any balancing.

Seriously, my big hope is that they’re so bad that no one else bothers either.

It’s very disappointing to play a game where I have to hope that everyone completely avoids the big new content addition.

For the weapons, I grudgingly leveled a skill to 450 SOLELY to clean out my bank space from the absolutely obscene number of bloodstone being thrown at us, which I refuse to delete on the off chance the system becomes less insane at some point in the future. I ended up finishing off to 500 and making 1 weapon for my main out of curiousity.

On just my Ele main, I change builds enough that there’s zero chance I’ll invest any effort into building out a set of ascended gear, not to mention how terribly they disincentivize playing alts

How have people in IoJ not killed themselves?

Why would we.

ugh cause you guys suck?

Sorry but what? I’ve seen nothing but absolutely horrible performance from both FA and Ebay tonight. The only decent guild we’ve fought is quite sadly, CORE from FA.

much lub <3

Ohai!

Good you see you guys again

I ended up just making a sprite myself out of screenshots
http://gw2w2w.com/assets/img/icons/sprite3-60x150.png

They’re only 15×15, but they work for my needs

Try my site!

http://gw2w2w.com/

And give me feedback on what I can do to make it bettah!

Very very cool

does want

nao plz!

celeron.3469:

SBI and Mags got FA… either one could leech enough points to put themselves into gold. So while you unintentionally get points from TC, they also have the possibility of gaining a lot if they do well.

SBI got a ton of transfers, and they actually should be in gold

I expect they’ll beat FA and Mag, and quite possibly CRUSH FA and Mag like they’re doing so far

Zehnchu.4985:

It ranges from wasting supplies at keeps, suiciding golems off a cliff side, turning all defensive siege opposite direction (Catapults and trebuchets facing door).

With the addiction of Leagues it will only get worse and there is no selection on the report menu to make it easy. How do you pan to combat this?

1400 supply down the drain… on reset night

Guess someone didn’t want IoJ to feel left out on treb trolling

Holland.9351:

I can kind of see his point though.

WvW has a limited amount of slots and there may have been a queue of players waiting to get in.

If there was no queue, then there is no reason for him to complain.

There was no queue

This was on the rank #18 server, on a thursday night, after a long week of being a massive blowout

Sylv.5324:

I don’t see the problem with the employee’s behavior. GvG guys were being rude jerks and their attitude and words would have been reportable.

If the GvG folks had been polite, I might have a different opinion, but they weren’t. They started out being kittens and the employee was right in flipping his tag and calling them out.

well said

150 characters

He was trolling the other ~40-50 people there before anyone said a word to him

I just put up a site that generate’s color wheels using the dyes API

Kaos.9162:

Well, before too long we won’t have totally random matchups any more, with the league system, if you’re a low ranked server, you have to fight a server way above you at least once, no matter what! There, they fixed it.

Yep, I’m predicting massive guild transfer churn, and overall burnout for all those servers ranked 6-12. They all implode, pushing 13-18 up, rinse and repeat as needed. The “medalists” are written in stone the week the tournament begins. The only thing to be seen is who’s unlucky enough to get stuck with #12 instead of #13.

The difference between servers ranked 1 and 12 as well as 13 and 24 is absurd, and those matchups are going to be zero fun for either side.

With “balanced” matchups as bad as they are already, the imminent “tournament” is going to be a 2 month long slow motion train wreck. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t see it coming, except Anet of course.

We’ve had 5 straight weeks of absolutely terrible matchups now on IoJ

We either roflstomp the other servers or get roflstomped ourselves (hi SBI), it’s been a loooong time since we’ve seen a competitive matchup

werdernator.6105:

German Translation:
Carver’s Ascent -> Aufstieg des Schnitzers
Orchard Overlook -> Obstgarten Aussichtspunkt
Bauer’s Estate -> Bauers Anwesen
Battle’s Hollow -> Schlachten-Senke
Temple of Lost Prayers -> Tempel der Verlorenen Gebete

Danke werdernator!

Could we get the Spanish, French and German names?

I’ll also chime in to ask for a full icon set to go with these too

Got PPT?

Dat perfect map

Not a bad matchup so far

DR still complaining about siege and using towers? You do realize you’re playing WvW right?

sagath.8746:

Agreed. I won’t buy any of these skins since they are only 1 time use.

Yep, I want skins, and I’d buy them, but I don’t want to deal with littering my bank with backups

Some individual WvW leaderboards would be nice

Rank and kills at least

Maybe some of the achiviement types too like yaks, keeps, and towers

Currently, the tooltip only tells you the different types of storms created

Glyph. Create a storm based on your attunement.
Fire: Firestorm.
Water: Ice Storm.
Air: Lightning Storm.
Earth: Sendstorm.

Assuming the wiki is correct, it’d be helpful to expand the tooltip to include the effects of each type of storm:

Firestorm: damages up to 10 foes in the area each second.
Ice Storm: calls down 18 shards randomly around the area inflicting damage and chilled.
Lightning Storm: summons 36 lightning bolts randomly around the area that deal damage.
Sandstorm: affects up to 10 foes in the area, inflicting damage and 2 seconds of bleeding each second and blindness every 3 seconds.

The IoJ EB keep is bugged

We fought off a siege, and I believe we actually had an objective fail notice pop, but they didn’t actually take the keep

now, we can’t see our supply count

since DR just somehow AC’d down siege on the roof of IoJ’s EB keep, who’s the one cheating?

Golem rushes of 30-50 golems shouldn’t be a thing

http://i.imgur.com/XK2HR6O.jpg

playing a human yak all afternoon ftw

Anyone else seeing that on their servers or is IoJ the only lucky ones?

tsubus.8761:

not working for me (at least not from the Linux machine at work, using Chrome).

If you tried while the servers were down my site won’t work either

I could definitely use better error handlers, but if the API is down, my site can’t do anything, so that was probably the problem

I’ll leave the desktop apps to someone else, but that could definitely be a cool tool

Personally, having apps hook into GW2 in anyway kinda creeps me out

The site is gw2w2w.com

And an example for a match

It supports EN, DE, FR and ES

It also seems to work for me in the latest Chrome, Firefox, and IE

It works’ish on my phone, but it’s definitely not great on mobile

Looking for ideas of what I could do to make it more useful

A map view is obvious of course, and I’m playing with Anet’s new map tiles api, but personally I like the big list more than a map, and I figured I might as put out what I have while I figure out what else to do with it.

ps: you can disable the chirp on the bottom on the page

My site is GW2-events.com

Supports all 4 languages and auto-refreshes event state over ajax so that the page isn’t constantly reloading

Before anyone worries about fixing dungeons, the process of getting into dungeons needs to be fixed

I have just under 250 hours played, but I haven’t run a single dungeon.

Not one.
I want to.
I love running dungeons

However, I flat out, 100% absolutely refuse to sit around spamming /m lfg

I personally think anet should be utterly ashamed to have not only launched without a group finder but to be months into release and putting out new dungeons which actually manage to make the situation massively worse.
