[Small typo on website (html escape sequences)]

Yep! It's fixed now.

[Small typo on website (html escape sequences)]

Hopefully this is the best place to post this, but there's a small typo on the https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/wield-deadly-beauty-with-the-dreamwalker-scythe-skin/ website. Near the bottom, the ul has a bunch of elements like "Gem Aura Appearance Package &mdash 15% Off". I'm guessing whoever (or whatever!) wrote this forgot the final semicolon for the escape sequences, but just thought I'd point it out!

[Render Server Outage]

@Daniel Snider.6241 Thanks for the update, and I hope it's not too much of a headache for everyone! Just out of curiosity, would a normal zombie state be something like the setting of Walking Dead, or Nebraska?

[Is the API going to break every weekend?]

@"Killerassel.2197" said:For the record: the API itself seems to be running fine. The rendering service, i.e. icons for items and skills, throws errors. And it didn't just start to do that today.

It would help if the other sites cached the icons locally and would not entirely depend on them to convey information.

it's not an API fault, it's the design flaw of sites that are using it, if they cached the things they request, they wouldn't need to rely on the API evrytime someone refreshes their site. those sites choose the easy way out, which only taxes the API and not their own site. it's just overwhelmed.

No offense, but you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. If the API were returning 429s (rate limited), 500-level errors, or something else, (or simply timing out), then yes it'd likely be an overload issue. However, it's returning a 404 (not found) plus a custom status message, which is not indicative of a server being "overwhelmed".Furthermore, sites like gw2spidy actually do cache their data somewhat, as they use it for graphing price-over-time data. However, for a site like gw2spidy, relying solely on cached data is actually impossible; they'd not be able to show updated (i.e., current) price data at all if they did that.

[Items endpoint down]

Yep, it's getting significantly worse. Achievements, asset rendering, and item info endpoints are all completely non-functional.
