GW2 Personal Assistant Overlay v3.0
Overview
Version 3.0 includes a visual redesign, a new central settings window, localization, and several new features and improvements.
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.
