New Features

• Price Tracker - This tool allows you to continuously track/view the Highest Buy Order and Lowest Sell Listings for items without having to open the Trading Post window or visit a separate website. It includes various sort options and a basic historical data graph for viewing the change in prices for an item.
• Tasks Tracker - The Tasks Tracker is a new tool for keeping track of your own personal in-game tasks. Tasks can include anything from daily crafting to gathering nodes, and include customization of icon, name, description, daily reset, and location. Tasks are stored in xml format and can be exported or loaded in order to share with others.
• Dungeon Timer - The Dungeon Timer is a tool that is designed to help time your dungeon runs. While not designed to be a timer for "official" speed runs, it can be used for practice or as a tool to challenge yourself. Alternatively, you can use the timer to time anything else.
• Updated Visual Design - Designed to be less of an obstruction and to get out of the way of the game, this version includes a redesigned visual style. Overlay windows have been condensed and no longer include an opaque background. Additionally, a new setting is available to automatically show/hide window borders, further reducing the visual obstruction of the overlay.
• New Settings Window - A new settings window has been added to the application to support more complicated customization with additional settings for each tool. This includes General Settings, Hotkey Customization, Event Tracker/Notification Settings, Dungeon Tracker/Timer Settings, Price Tracker/Notification Settings, and WvW Tracker/Notification Settings.
• Hotkeys - Hotkeys are now available for opening/closing each overlay window and for toggling various settings, such as the non-interactive windows option. You can even toggle display of all overlay windows with a single hotkey.
• Localization - Configured via the new Settings window, the Personal Assistant Overlay is now available in English, French, German, and Spanish. Thanks go out to Vacendak for German translations and a huge thanks to Shawni Roux for the French.

GW2 Personal Assistant Overlay v2.0

Overview

In this version, a few major features have been added, along with several other smaller quality-of-life changes and bug fixes. Starting with this release, the tool will now include an optional installer, along with the usual full-feature and browser-less zip files.

Major Features

• Overlay Menu Icon - The Overlay Menu Icon is a small icon that overlays on top of the game like any other window in the tool. Instead of having to alt+tab to reach the main application's menu, you can now just click on this icon, designed to blend in with the other icons located in the top-left corner of the game. This can be positioned to any spot on the screen by holding ctrl and click-dragging the icon.
• Price Notifications - This new feature notifies the user when an item's highest Buy Order or lowest Sale Listing reaches a certain value. Want to know when the price of Dawn has dropped below a certain value, or when Copper Ore's Buy Orders reach a specific price? This tool will notify you of the change in price.
• Teamspeak Overlay - This new feature connects to the Teamspeak Client via the ClientQuery plugin and allows a user to see when someone talks, sends a chat, or enters/exits the current channel. The overlay window also allows the user to change channel and send chat messages themselves.
• Non-Interactive Windows - You can now configure all windows to be non-interactive so that they do not get in the way of your control of the game. This can be turned on/off in two ways: 1) by selecting the option in the main menu of the program, or 2) by right-clicking on the Overlay Menu Icon.

Minor Features

• Added "check for updates" feature that, when enabled, will notify the user at start-up when a new version of the application is available.
• Almost all overlay windows are now re-sizable in both the horizontal and vertical directions. A hidden anchor located in the bottom-right corner of each window will allow the user to expand the window in either direction.
• The "Sticky Windows" feature is now optional and can be enabled/disabled in the main menu of the application. It is disabled by default.
• All distances can now be configured to display in feet, meters, or time-distance.
• All tooltips and notifications have received a visual overhaul for improved contrast and readability.
• Events Tracker and Notifications
  • You can now selected between two different "time-tables:"
    • The Standard time-table - uses the official world boss times with no estimated warm-up or active times
    • the Adjusted time-table - includes estimated warm-up, active, and duration times
• Zone Completion Assistant
  • Greatly improved the performance of this tool
  • Where possible, the right-click menu now includes a feature to copy chat-codes of the point for pasting into the in-game chat, allowing you to see where the point is using the in-game map.
  • The auto-unlock of the various types of zone objectives have been tweaked. Additionally, auto-unlock has been added for Heart Quests and Skill Challenges using a time and distance-based auto-unlock mechanism. (thanks lazrael!)
• WvW Tracker
  • Compacted the size of the tracker in both the horizontal and vertical orientations. RI timers are now shown in red
  • Added "Claimed By" information to objective tooltips.

• WvW Notifications
  • Added "From" and "By" information to show what world lost the objective and what world captured the objective.
  • Added ability to select between the following options for notifications:
    • When Home World Takes Objective - show a notification when your selected home world captures an objective
    • When Home World Loses Objective - show a notification when your selected home world loses an objective
    • When Other World Takes Other World's Objective - show a notification when a world other than your home world captures another world's objective

Resolved Issues

• Fixed issue where hiding Castles in the WvW Tracker also caused Camps to be hidden.

Known Issues

• The Teamspeak Overlay is a bit buggy, and occasionally will lose track of who is talking and who is not. Additionally, depending on the number of channels in the connected server, a large delay can occur before the full channel list will appear.
