[API BUG] Character "flag" not always correct

  • flags (array of strings) - Returns character flags. Possible values:
    • Beta - Beta character for testing period of add-ons

This information is the only way to separate beta characters from non-beta (real) characters. Problem is that it is not always filled correctly...

I made a beta character a few weeks ago (weapons test beta). I can not play that character anymore, but i still can see it when i ask for info on all my characters:

https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/characters?ids=all&access_token=YOURAPIKEY

When i do the same request a few times i clearly can see that the "flags" info on that beta character is sometimes filled and sometimes it is not (it stays empty, just like for non-beta characters).

I find this annoying because like i stated before it is the only way to separate beta characters from non-beta characters.

I think the problem only happens when i use "ids=all" for all characters...

If i do the request for 1 character via "id=name_character" then the info always seems to be correct (tested like 10 times, but i may be bullied by cached results).
