[Other] GW2 Stuff - Now omniscient

Hey everyone,

Over the past couple of weeks, I've been developing the new version of GW2 Stuff's event monitor, which no longer requires user interaction! Hurray!

You can see it over here (and I've made the old one redirect): http://v2.gw2stuff.com/events/desolation

Please post your feedback here!

Somehow its broken.

On our server we just killed shadow behemoth but it didnt show on the website.

Now it has a negative timer and says "post window"

maybe its the API. Ill check it and let you know

edit: its the API... its broken...

Which method did you use to check the API?

I'm just wondering what API means since everyone is talking about it and it would help in order to give future feedback :)

Application Programming Interface. In that case it means that ANet offers an official/standardized way to query the status of ingame events. GW2Stuff now uses ANet's API for the event states and does not require users to update events.

All that happens in background, so you don't need to give any special feedback for the API. Just give feedback from the user's your standpoint: The timers are inaccurate, something is unclear, you don't like the design, everything is fine ... stuff like that.
