Guild Wars 2

Pat Cavit.9234:

We could expose the commerce search endpoint, but it only knows about items that can be put on the Trading Post. We don’t have any other search backends wired up to items that I’m aware of.

That’s better than nothing, also what Smiley said would be useful, I could make the initial download for the whole database, and then just do proper upgrades.

will there be a way to search for items

Given the current information i’d say “no”. I wish we had something for the maps/map_floor endpoints, though.

Pat Cavit.9234:

A few, most of /v2 is just exposing existing /v1 data in a cleaner & more useful way. We’ll keep adding new APIs as they make sense to it, but don’t expect seismic shifts in the data you can get out.

Well, it doesn’t change the data, it would expose it in a cleaner & more useful way :P

I have a stupid question, will there be a way to search for items or do we still have to download the whole database to do any meaningful search?

wow that is a huge ripoff of the gw2 personal assistant http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2drawa/introducing_the_gw2_personal_assistant_overlay/

I took inspiration for the WUV WUV WUV app UI wise, but didn’t take any inspiration for Daily Dolly, it’s just basic time-gated stuff that anyone could do.

The difference is the codebase is magnitudes smaller and it’s for Overwolf, so I can get it in full screen mode while using the rest of Overwolf features.

I’m excited to see what comes out of this contest. I personally don’t have the time to create something to submit, but I’m very interested in what other people create.

GW2PAO was good inspiration (that’s actually what prompted me to work on my stuff), too bad I can’t use it, which is why I’m writing three (well, two, the WvW one is already done) Overwolf apps to replace it.

Keep it up!

The world_id seems to be broken in WvW as well.

Right. I forgot that the world_id was always broken in WvW, so this value is basically useless now in all cases.

Aww that sucks, hope they fix it so I can find the world automatically from my Overwolf app.

The world_id seems to be broken in WvW as well.

You can use this plugin I made, it’s probably going to get merged in Overwolf soon tho.

That is, if you want something tested by others as well :P

Gil.9346:

Does anyone know whether the Overwolf API does even handle the Mumble Data Link?

It does now.

This is really great work. Thanks a lot!

Since probably some of us are going to use this library, I’d appreciate if you could clarfiy which license you’re going to use for it so none of us gets into trouble

The license is in every source file, it’s under WTFPL.

This announcement is kinda funny to me since I developed an Overwolf WvW helper last week.

Over 8 months later, 14 pages of constructive dialogue, and this is the best they come up with? Couldn’t they have at least made different icons for various purposes, such as PvE, WvW, Bosses, etc. and perhaps sub-icons for different aspects such as small groups, large groups, etc.?

No man, that would make sense, they can’t do it.

Orangensaft.7139:

no worries you get refunded for multiple commandertags

You don’t, you get refunded iff you have 4 or more tags. If you have 2 or 3 you get the same treatment anyone who will buy one tag now gets.

Except people who have bought 2 or 3 have paid full price without even being able to choose the color.

If anything they should allow people who bought 2 or 3 tags to chose the color for their tag since they won’t get a refund.

Forever Living The Dream [NEET] is looking for NEETs, hikkis, apprentice wizards and wizards to shape into an army.

We reside on Far Shiverpeaks but you’re free to join if you’re willing to transfer sooner or later.

Since every guild seems to be either PvX or hardcore WvW (as far as WvW is concerned), and the people playing WvW are always the same more or less, I figured getting inexperienced people with a lot of time on their hands and some will to learn how to become good WvW players might become something good for the server.

Representation is not required 100%, but if you’re in WvW you should represent.

There’s no class requirement, whatever class you may have chosen you will be taught how to use it effectively in WvW.

There’s no experience requirement either, just have tons of time and will to learn.

Dungeons and fractal runs in the name of farming influence and resources for upgrades, equipment and siege will also be done.

TL;DR: Spend more time in the game than doing something with your life? Would like to get into WvW? Send me a whisper or a mail.

Then how am I supposed to transform a zoomancer into moa and laugh at his helplessness because all his pets disappeared?

I love this community:

Before megaservers:
“Buhuhua all maps are empty, the game is dead!!!!”

Now:
“Buhuhu the megeserver system sucks, it is the worst thing ever added to the game, why can’t I play on my server?!?”

And pathetically enough it is often the SAME people that said both of these things.
I suppose complaining for the sake of complaining is something we just have to get used to here.

Personally, some maps were dead so the system would work perfectly once the language and guild things are sorted out.

The main issue is the maps are getting way too populated, it’s physically impossible to me to play like this, not even in WvW I’d get blobs with so many people it made the game completely unusable, and I think others are in my same situation.

Oswaldzl.3652:

Hey so gw2 is about to use a Megaserver system soon… But won’t this lag out most people? as gw2 developers may use very high-end computers to make the game and they know the mass people won’t lag the game, but it definitely will lag-out most people …. In wvw it’s already like this… I really think this Megaserver thing needs a rework before making it permanent… As when we bought this game it says minimum-Recommended Requirements….It didn’t say we need good computers… I thank anyone reading this as it is an issue needed to be addressed… If an anet stuff could read this its the better…. I look to reading replies as soon…

Having the same problem, in WvW and huge events I can accept lowering the graphics, but in general PvE it’s a huge pain in the kitten .

Race: Charr
Sex: Male
Class: Warrior
Armor Piece: Temple Armor Shoulders and Plated Chest (the WvW one)

The character has the tallest and largest body and the shoulders clip very badly with the chest piece.

Also the fur clips through the chest piece on the back when jumping. Or it’s not the fur but the part of the armor underneath the outer scales that is of a different color.

Edit: it’s definitely the part underneath, extremely noticeable while swimming.
Edit 2: it happens with the temple chest as well.

Are these many people in cities expected with the Megaserver system in place?

Because I can’t walk at all, the lag is so much I go at about 0.15 FPS.

You just answered your own question. You’re not supposed to be able to park your alts in the ship.

It could of course check if you’re holding the ticket in your inventory when you log in and wouldn’t kick you out if you did.

The latter question was why am I not supposed to park my alts in the ship? I know how it is, I don’t know why.

If you either bought the permanent one or the two weeks one, they’re time based not consumable, so I expect to be able to be on the ship for the duration of the pass.

Don’t know why? Because if it is made inconvenient enough, you will buy multiple permanent passes if you want that convenience enough.

Well, I could get to a tinfoil hat explanation myself (although I can’t buy more passes anymore, which kind of moots it), I wanted an official explanation to the matter, mostly to the getting kicked out even if you have the pass in your inventory.

Before going with money grabbing explanations I’d rather be kind hearted and hope it’s just a small oversight or some understandably lazy programmer who didn’t want to add a check for inventories and bank before kicking you out.

I searched through the forum but couldn’t find anything relevant, sorry if I just couldn’t find it.

So, I bought the permanent pass on the gem store when it was sold, and everything is fine and dandy except an extremely annoying issue.

Whenever you log out in the airship and log back (or enter a fractal while on the airship) as soon as you reenter the map you get thrown out, which incurs another map load.

Is this working as intended? And most importantly, why can’t I park my alts on the airship when I have bought a permanent pass?

I understand needing the pass in the inventory to get on the ship, but every time I have to switch alts I have to get on the ship, put the pass in the bank, go to a city and get near the bank or a crafting station, get on the alt, get the pass from the bank and go wherever I had to go.

This is extremely annoying and a huge waste of time, I paid for comfort and got more annoyances than comfort :(

Thanks.
