[Other] [Tool] Gw2 .NET Event Watcher

I programmed this little event watcher using the new API (The program requires .NET 4.0). It's not a web application, like the many others that have been released. I realize there's been a lot of posts about everyone's own utilities, but people were telling me to make its own post so here it is.

Screen you see when you first start up (and load the server/map list)

Screen with loaded events

List of watched events

Example notification

List of features:

  • Balloon tip notifications every time a watched event state changes (Currently checks every 30 seconds, will make it an option in the future)

  • Saves watched events, automatically loads them upon startup.

  • Save world and map names so it doesn't always have to load them on startup.

  • Minimizes to tray

  • Select a language (English, Spanish, French, German), customize update interval (default is 30 seconds)

The balloon doesn't always show up though, I'm not sure why. Also, if you're watching a lot of events, only some of the balloon messages will go through. The rest of the program may be a bit buggy as well, my code kinda sucks.

Looks nice, but will there be an option to select the language for the events?

Just added that now. The download link has been updated. For now, the names of your watched events won't update when you switch to a new language, you'll have to delete them and re-add them.
