Linked user's can now verify themselves using the GW2 API

In addition, the verification system has been overhauled and now support user's verifying themselves without creating a forum account (however not recommended due to key management being harder that way)

The UI has also been updated using Material Design Lite too, hopefully will make it easier for players to figure out how it works

You can go to https://farshiverpeaks.com/index.php?page=gw2integration to see what your current't linking status is and check it out for yourself




Kinks still needed to be worked out, but was decided wasn't important enough to delay any longer

• Going from a Teamspeak only link to a Teamspeak / Forum link is problematic

If you find any other issues, feel free to report them to me

You can now verify yourself on our Teamspeak server using the GW2 API

How does it work?
Once you log onto Teamspeak, you will be greeted with a message containing a unique link that will link your Teamspeak user with your Forum user. This means your access to teamspeak will be linked with your access to the website that currently uses the GuildWars2 API for that.

For a more detailed description, see Help: Teamspeak Integration

Do you get access to my username and password?
No, the only information available through the standard permissions from an API Key is
Account Info
 - Account ID
 - Display Name (example: test.1234)
 - World ID
 - Your Guilds
If you have ever used any of the other services, utilizing the GuildWars2 Authenticated API, this is exactly the same.

But i already have access?
If you already have access, you will not see this message and you will keep you access for the time being while the system is being evaluated

So i don't ever have to do this?
Eventually, manual assignment of the FSP Servergroup will be phased out completely in favor of this new automatic system, maybe finally get rid of some of the spies we have had lately?

What is new?
We have added a lot of new features for the new site and a lot more will follow soon!

- New way of authentication on the forum,
- Video's on the forum
  We now have a dedicate page for uploading your awesome GuildWars 2 footage!
  Currently it only supports upload of videos, however we plan on adding a comment section for each video soon.
- Guilds are now going to be a bigger part of the site with the integration of Guilds, check it out!
- Forum customisation, click here to find out.


What is to Come!?
This is just the first milestone, we have a lot more to come in the following weeks  


- Automatic Guild Assignment
Right now you as a guild leader, has to assign who is in your guild manually.
However a we have talked with a ArenaNet dev who says they plan on having the new Guilds API ready within a couple of weeks.
Once the API is out, we will make the process fully automatic as a part of the Authentication process.

- Video Comment Section
As mentioned earlier, we plan on adding a comment section to each video

- Display Guild Tag
This was just short of being ready. Expect it to be here within a day

- Teamspeak Authentication
Once we have made sure the authentication process works without any problems, we will integrate it with our Teamspeak server as well.
This should limit any potential spy problem we might have to only be possible by players who is actually on Far Shiverpeaks
Also it means we will no longer have to manually add people on TS when they ask in map chat...

Obligatory Bugfixes!
We know there are a few hiccups here and there and more will probably be discovered in the next few days

If you happen to find a bug, please report it here.

Anything you would really like us to add?
If you have any suggestions, big or small! feel free to send them to us here.

PS. if you can't be bothered with logging into Github, just post it as a reply to this thread,
however it is easier to manage this stuff there
