I’ve a ticket open with support about the issue described in my post; however 90% of the ticket is having me jump through hoops that are pointless; I’ve had about 4-5 different support people reply to my ticket and now it looks like they want me to uninstall/reinstall the game. It’s not a problem with my setup at all. This is clear from the arenanet.log.
I’ve crashed out in WvW a few random times trying to see if claimed structures/camps my server owns had upgrades slotted and so decided to investigate the cause.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open the objective upgrades window for an objective on another BL (empty upgrade slots should be white) that your server has claimed but has no slotted upgrades yet.
- Click on an empty upgrade slot to highlight it and leave it for a minute and watch the rotating background behind the I, II and II; after a minute or two the background animation will seemingly “jerk” or “reset” itself and your slot will automatically deselect.
- Clicking this slot again will crash gw2.
I had a look through the API2 wiki and couldn’t find anything on retrieving the current food/utility buffs affecting a character; I was wondering if I’ve just missed it or if this is a planned thing for the future?
Had a brief look at the API and didn’t see anything there; could be a useful addition.
With regard to the sentry information I’m looking for or asking about is when it scouts enemy players. Currently on our maps we are able to see a lot of orange dot positions and movements, any plans to make this available in the API? I understand that this probably isn’t there for at least two reasons: 1) potentially unfair, 2) it’s more or less real-time data and would result in thrashing the API servers. Can’t hurt to ask though :]
I ask about damage/supply/siege information as it might be useful in terms of knowing how crucial it is for a float team to change map in order to defend valuable assets, rather than relying on bad scout reports in teamchat.
Anything else you guys can think of that’d be cool to be able to scrape about live matchups?
I’ve had this a few times when trying to buy 8000 gems. It just would not accept it, so I tried 4000 gems and it worked the first time without issue.
If I recall correctly I’ve only had it when trying to purchase the maximum amount. It’s strange, I used a visa and I’m from EU playing on NA if that has anything to do with it.
Enemy and myself fall into downed state, team mate runs over dragging other enemies with him and tries to res me, instead of cleaving/stomping downed enemy resulting in both of us dying. Christ.
Hey dude, it just updated :]
Guys, this happened to me yesterday in an sPvP match without me realising at first. It happened in two matches back-to-back and resulted in my being called a hacker.
I believe it has to do with the Superior Rune of Infiltration as this is what I was testing out as a S/F fresh air elementalist. At <= 20% life you get 4 seconds of invisibility, which to my mind was great for possibly getting out of a fight.
Hoping this gets fixed so I can use these runes in future.
Ah ok, thanks for the response. That sounds great Stefan, hope you guys keep up the good work.
Thanks.
Hi coderjoe,
Yes, we do have plans to offer guild and character APIs in an authenticated fashion (via OAuth2) – but secured to a particular user. For example, you would programmatically be able to obtain last-login/representation information for yourself, not any arbitrary user in your guild.
It sounds like what you would like is some enhanced permissions for guild leaders to obtain members’ guild stats. We will definitely keep this in mind when implementing the guild APIs. Thank you for the suggestion.
I think the best approach to character data permissions would be to basically copy how Eve does it. Basically you let the player create “API keys” with permissions so he could create one that only shows his current gear, or characters or another that shows all of his stats.
When implementing guild APIs, I’d really love to be able to query my guild member list and see who is representing. The reason behind this is to make member management easier and it’d be a good way to poll for activity. Is this something that might be available in future?
Can confirm, playing TPvP all day as a guild-group and then he got disconnected successively in seperate matches. Anything that could be done would be appreciated.
The behaviour is intended. The ability to salvage gear bought with karma was removed due to an exploit people were taking advantage of.
An interesting thing to note, however is that you can still buy gear with karma and combine it with other gear in the mystic forge to produce an item that is salvagable/sellable.
I use S/D in PvE most of the time (switching to staff for big events). I’m spec’d 20 fire/20 air/20 earth/10 arcane.
I like S/D because of the control it gives me over mobs and the general rotations I can do before I take damage. Usually I’ll pull by blasting 1-2-3 in my air attunement, ride the lighning into the middle of a mob after pulling, updraft, hit my armor of earth and then use churning earth. Stability from armor of earth means I can’t really be interrupted during channeling, plus the protection is an added benefit. Straight after this I switch to fire, use ring of fire and then pheonix anything that’s left.
For the most part this works wonders against nearly all mobs, as it gives a good coverage of conditions and damage before the fight really begins.
I do agree however that the elementalist is currently under powered. We have the lowest HP pool of all professions, and while we can do damage; our output is nowhere near that of other classes.
