Spec and Icon info missing from Guild api

#1 - Sept. 5, 2012, 2:14 p.m.

I just tried to check my rogue on the guild api and his spec and icon information is missing, all other classes have this information except the following classes: priests, shamans and warlocks. So once again that's priests, shamans, rogues and warlocks icon and spec information is missing. I know this because my guild roster script i use works fine for all other classes except those classes i mentioned above.

lets try and explain this in detail..
http://us.battle.net/api/wow/guild/whisperwind/reprisal?fields=members,talents

{"name":"Kneep","realm":"Whisperwind","battlegroup":"Rampage","class":4,"race":1,"gender":0,"level":85,"achievementPoints":10020,"thumbnail":"whisperwind/51/90945587-avatar.jpg"},"rank":2},

notice no icon or spec info to be found anywhere

now if i check

http://us.battle.net/api/wow/character/whisperwind/kneep?fields=talents

it works fine and is more detailed.

Thanks, Slyvester

The caches for this data are very slow to update. This is something we were going to look into later on. So far every reported case (achievement points not updating fast, spec not showing up fast, etc) update within a couple of days from the report.

It's also possible that some of those characters on your list haven't logged in since 5.0.4? (I know this isn't the case for all of them, such as the character you link).

We will be looking into these caches (they also serve the character tooltips) hopefully soon after MoP launch in order to speed them up.

As an FYI, "talents" is not a field option for the guild api, the spec should show up with just "fields=members".
