GW2 Event Timer

I wasn't really fond of the web based timers, found it annoying to have chrome open constantly, decided to create this boss timer cause of it anddd release it for everyone to use!

A file called "Settings.xml" will be created upon starting the program, this file is required to save what bosses you completed and which favorites you got.

Contact me here if you got any questions. The timer is free to use and should work on win vista, 7 & 8. The sound and system notification can be activated in the right upper corner, blue = active.

Requirements:

• .net framework 4.0. Available at microsoft's official page; [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

The timer will not work correctly without the framework installed.

Tested what you said, works fine over here. Make sure you select (left click) a row first, before right clicking. The row needs to be selected to give the correct waypoint.

When you "copy waypoint", you can paste it ingame and it will be the nearest waypoint indeed. Its not really a hack of some sort, more of a helping tool?

It can't get you in trouble with arenanet atleast.

Home world doesn't need to be changed, as the bosses are time based since the megaserver system got in place.

there seems to be a bug calculating countdown time when it's opened for long time

explanation: it ALWAYS shows the "timer" wrong when it has been opened for long time 3h+ (close and reopen fixes this) where it shows lets say 0:03 min left until event starts and "start" shows 9:00 but the clock is 8:59 (which timer should show 0:01 mind left) and so the event starts at 9:00 but it notifies at 9:02 (because of the timer ending at that time) and well... it made me being late few times (until i noticed this bug)

Will have to take a look at that someday, haven't noticed it myself but can ikagine it happening, thanks for letting me know.

#Edit:

Testing a fix today, if it works I will release a new version tomorrow. You'll get a popup if a new version is released when you start the program.
