Temple Timers App BetaWe first launched our web app to a small number of users on Friday and added a few more on Saturday. Our Temple Timers web app is now open to a much bigger group as we continue to test it. Please remember it is still in beta and as such it may have an issue once in a while. Please report any issues to us, thanks.
Currently it is only in English though I will be adding other language support once I know the best route to handle it.
FEATURES:
Expanding site that will adapt to 1080p screens as well as 1024p screens.
Every event has its own panel to update the event.
Guesting panel on the right for the 4 next events.

Many other smaller changes.
F&F: The Gathering Storm Feb 26thThis month we will be getting more new features along with a continuation of the four part Flame and Frost story. One of the big additions is a new form of content, guild missions. The guild missions will include bounties, puzzles and cross-country challenges. This may help guilds have a closer unity and give them more of an identity. Another addition is the option to choose the type of daily achievements you want, this will allow you to play the way you want rather than being forced to dodge or heal nearby allies.
They are also adding a new PvP map along with two team rated PvP that will rate each player and choose balanced teams for quick intense matches.
Flame and Frost Prelude Jan 28thGuild Wars has officially sold over 3 million copies. This is good news as its success will mean more development and content for us. With that I am going to cover some of the latest announcements for this months add-on. This month the big update is more of a new feature and improvement update, especially if you are a PVE player. Starting January 28th, they will allow guesting, add items to the gem store, a new PVP map, a better achievement system and new laurels. They are also including many UI improvements along with a few unknown changes.
- Temple of the Silent Storm Week: From January 28—February 4 the regular eight-team/three-round paid tournaments will be replaced by two-team/single-round paid tournaments in the Temple of the Silent Storm map. After the week is over, we’ll add Temple of the Silent Storm to the regular rotation of both free and paid tournaments.
- Improved Achievement System: We’re adding a new rotation of daily achievements to add variety and encourage you to explore the open world. You’ll get different achievements every day of the week and a new achievement tracker in the UI to make it easier to track your progress.
- New Achievement Laurels:You’ll earn these brand-new laurels as a reward for daily and monthly achievements! Redeem these laurels for rewards like the new Ascended gear and Infusions!
Happy 2013 New YearHello fellow Templars,
I hope you all enjoyed the New Years parties and festivities as we wrap up Wintersday. We here at Guild Wars Temple have many great plans for 2013 and are going to cover some of the future changes as we move into the year.
Firstly, we are working on an update to the mobile app for Android that will remember what server you are on and it will also allow you to choose the language of your choice.
Over the long term we are going to be adding more events, as we see what gets the most interest.
We are also working on a log-in system that will allow you to choose the events that you want to see, among many other options to personalize your timer page.
We have other plans to add to accounts once the account feature is released but they will need further testing before they are announced.
Dragon Timer UpdateWe have been working hard on the latest update that includes many new features that we hope you will enjoy. Recently we asked for feedback on what events you would like to see and now we need your feedback on the event times that we have added.
Here is a list of changes that we made with the recent update:
+ Added Android App (Search gw dragon timer and look for 
Temple Timer .)
+ Designed the mobile version of the site to look better, should be much better on iPhone, Android and other mobile devices.
+ Added Ability to Embed timers on guild sites
+ Improved speed of page loading
+ Added security measures to help with timer accuracy
+ Added 4 new events (Megadestroyer, Shadow Behemoth, Temple of Balthazar and the Fire Elemental in Metrica Province)
+ Combined Updater with Rating System as well as adding Server Reset option.
+ Added ability to show event is happening right now.
+ Added history panel showing previous times. (Moved event details to mouse hovering/clicking on dragon/event name.)
+ Other changes
While the Android app can be downloaded by everybody, you will not see your server until it is updated on the site. I will be adding as many servers as I can each day, please be patient as we upgrade.
The Lost Shores UpdateThe November update is coming to Guild Wars 2 on November 16th, featuring a new dungeon as well as a one time event chain.
The event will kick off in Lions Arch at noon PST on the 16th. The following day at noon PST there will be a one time event chain where Tyria will change forever. If you aren’t able to make it during the weekend, don’t be too sad as the zone and dungeon will be there to stay, you’ll only miss out on the one time events and cut-scenes.
“This is my story.”Hello, I am Daniel Black, a ranger from Divinity’s Reach. I was raised by common folk and have worked hard all my life.
To truly understand how I became the person I am, you have to understand my past. I was abandoned at an orphanage as an infant but was quickly adopted by a kind couple. Though this may not sound so bad it has a certain effect on any young child that still leads me to not trust people.
Click here or go to Fan Fiction to view the continuous story of Daniel Black.
Dragon Timer BetaWe have created an easy-to-use dragon timer with countdown timers and information showing when the timer was last updated to help show accuracy. You can view the timer by clicking the link in the menu or going to gw2dragontimer.com. This is the beta and is only on one server at the moment. As things continue, we will fix bugs and work on stability as well as opening up more servers. If you would like your server added, contact us and let us know, we may just add yours next.
