  1. The API's v2/quests [ https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/quests?ids=all ] is still missing Jormag Rising chapters.

     

    Would it be possible to get someone who's job includes actively checking the API after releases? It's become a regular occurrence in the Icebrood Saga that we have to wait weeks or months for this endpoint to be updated.

     

    (I submitted this as a ticket, but was told to report it here instead. )

  2. Sharing gear between characters is my biggest concern. If you have more than one build template you can no longer swap in account-bound items from shared inventory by just double-clicking, because the item gets absorbed into the system and you have to remember to open up hero panel, switch to build tab, equip character's item, drag shared item back to shared inventory. 1 double-click vs, well, I lost count. Every. Time. I. Switch. Characters. The only† work-around is to not use multiple build templates. Oh right... I play more than one game type.

     

    Case 1: Swim speed infusions on ascended breathers. It's bad enough we have to farm for swim speed infusions for 3 different armor classes, now we have to farm for them for every single character because swapping takes so many steps.

    Case 2: Switching ascended amulets based on game type. (For magic find, karma, exp boosts / stats / etc)

    Case 3: WvW. I do play fairly often. However, I use different elite specializations in WvW vs PvE. The previous system wasn't perfect as I still had to double-click to equip the appropriate weapons. Templates would be nice to fix this, but see the swapping WvW amulet issue above. Also, auto-switching is fewer clicks than manually switching, I'm just saying...

    Case 4: Legendaries. If you want to use multiple specs on a legendary, this means multiple build templates, which effectively means no more sharing it between characters.

     

    What I would like to see is having account-bound items be available to all characters for templates. To answer those who say "but you can't have items on multiple characters", this just automates the shared-inventory process, which you _could_ indeed do in the past.

     

    _† OK, so I could make enough ascended equipment so everyone has copies of everything in their own template inventories, but that defeats the purpose of 'Account Bound'._

  3. **With the upcoming Build Template system, Please Please Please rethink how swim speed infusions work.**

     

    As it is, we have to grind swim speed for at least 3 armor sets (Lt, Md, Hvy). With shared inventory, they can be stored there and shared between characters, however, with the build template system, it sounds like it's going to be annoying to pop out the breather to switch to another character. I would give up entirely on swim speed if I had to grind it for 9+ armor sets...

     

    ... or did I miss something about how account bound items can be on templates for multiple characters ....?

    > > I also put in a `/v2/characters/:id/quests` endpoint to let you see all the quests you've completed per character! This also means you can automatically track which paths of the personal story your characters have completed (I hope someone writes an app for it :D)

    > I was looking into this, but the problem is, I can't see what order the quests are. If I look at a character that has only done the lvl 10 quests, I get id's 27, 24, 21, 32, 15 and 23 (in that order). The correct order would have been 15, 21, 24, 23, 32 and then 27. The only way I could figure out the real order was by using the wiki. A linked list would be nice!

    To be consistent with seasons and stories, it looks like `v2/quests?ids=[etc]` needs an 'order' field. For instance, there's no way, as far as I can tell, to determine through the API that "Victory or Death" is the last quest of "My Story" / "The Elder Dragon Zhaitan". Its ID is somewhere in the middle of Zhaitan quest IDs. The sort order in the character list is also in the middle somewhere.
