Inconsistent World Status array size

#1 - May 20, 2013, 3:53 p.m.

I was excited to use the new API feature as a way to know the status of the 5 Temples/Cathedrals in Orr. I found what I thought were the corresponding “Defense” events for each, but am getting some funny results.

Specifically, each of the 5 events is returning a different size array [meaning that there are worlds missing from some or all].

There look to be 51 worlds (from here).
For Dwayna I see 50 results.
For Lyssa there are 48.
For Melandru there are 47.
For Grenth I get only 16?
Lastly, Balthazar gives 38.

Was curious if anyone had ideas why?

Thanks.

I researched the events you asked about.

Talcmaster is on the right track. In this case, it means the event is inactive on the worlds that are not listed in your results, and has never switched to one of the documented states.

Inactive is a sort of undocumented state that we intend to correct and clarify in the future. For now, treat the lack of a result or an ‘Invalid’ state as ‘Inactive’. An event will only become active as a result of something else happening in the world, it will never become active just from time passing.
