WvW objective names

Having a hard time determining objective names from the data returned by

https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/wvw/match_details.json

using the mapping in

https://api.guildwars2.com/v1/wvw/objective_names.json

Reminds me of map chat sometimes:

[API Dude]: 20 DR at Tower
[Commander Patience]: Which tower?
[API Dude]: Ummm… Tower?
[Commander Patience]: Can you tell me where it is on the map, NE, NW for example?
[API Dude]: Err… I can tell you that its id is 47.
[Commander Patience]: Sorry that doesn’t tell me where I need to go to assist.
[API Dude]: Let’s see… according to the API it’s called… “Tower”
[High Strung Dude]: —-- (my language filter is on)

Hope I haven’t overlooked something obvious.

Yeah, Weris did all the hard work of mapping objective IDs to names. Thanks for that.

We want to fix the objective names, they are definitely really bad right now through the API. At least they’re localized, so you can read ‘Tower’ in any language
