Missing event data
AdelphiA.9287:
Since the patch on March 28th, there seems to be a number of events which are no longer returning data. I know Admin has said we need to wait for an event to be restarted before it’s poulated, but how long? The two event IDs I’m currently questioning are part of Cathedral of Eternal Radiance (Temple of Lyssa) and are 2F3955DB5CAD480EAACB4A9D318AA9A8 and A3BEF1D910B044C78B4B600BEC0F0316.
Have these events been removed or changed?

I’ve seen events “disappear” from the world, but they seem to eventually come back. When they do, I treat them an a “changed event” (i.e., the event’s status has changed from what it used to be). I’m guessing that the events in “warmup” (inactive) state are the ones that temporarily go away, possibly to save bandwidth.

I’ve noticed another one missing now – which is a main event – Temple of Balthazar. Now this WAS working yesterday but isn’t today. The event ID is 2555EFCB29274589AB611957D9CC70C8.

Every time the server resets, the event data resets to null, meaning it won’t be in the list. Until that event occurs on the server, it will continue to be that way.
And yes, that also means it’s not safe to rely on the API to get a list of all events, because the list may not always be complete.
AdelphiA.9287:
I can’t believe that a main event like the Temple of Balthazar is inactive for almost 24 hours without anyone attempting / starting it so the reset of the server state seems to be irrelevant in this case.
Just have a look at https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/events.json?world_id=2012&event_id=2555EFCB-2927-4589-AB61-1957D9CC70C8 and see what result you get! I bet it’s {"events":[]}
Oh, don’t click the link as it will fail becasue of the forums redirect- you’ll need to copy and paste it into your browser.

Did you try other worlds instead of just that one (i.e. Piken Square)?

Last reset was like 11 hours prior to the original post. On a server that doesn’t have a lot of people in Orr, Balthazar can easily stay inactive since they’re going to get stuck at the escort. Factor in that people are busy with the new content and it’s easily plausible that that there’s not enough people out there.
Besides,
After a new patch, the events list has to re-populate. At the moment there’s a bug where the initial state of an event is not correctly recorded until the event has been initiated on that world at least once. For now, treat missing events as ‘inactive’.

Hadn’t even thought about checking a different server (guess thats cause I’m on Piken).
