Add WANTED Adventures to GetProfile.CharacterActivities[204]

[lowlines]

Every week, Spider sells an orange WANTED bounty to go kill a boss enemy that is hiding in one or more Lost Sectors on a given destination. For some locations, the Lost Sector actually rotates on a daily basis allowing players to choose whether they complete the bounty in a more challenging location. Would it be possible to return the daily activityHash?

There should also be a locationHash for each of these activities as I've been checking against the data returned of the APIs and have seen them.

[ghost]

Adventures unfortunately are no CharacterActivities for the API - you can't get the current heroic adventure for the flashpoint that way, either. Activities are only things you can launch from orbit.

[lowlines]

That's not true. Adventures are an activity much like patrol missions and even public events, the latter which being the only type of activity in the game that doesn't have an ActivityDefinition in the manifest. That being said, both public events and adventures are marked in the Director, so it should be possible to return this state to get the activityHash for the CharacterActivities component.

[ghost]

My last sentence was a bit misleading, sorry! I was only referring to what that endpoint (CharacterActivities) returns, which is (as of now) just stuff that you can launch into directly from the director. There are many nodes & missions on the worldmap that you can select and track, but that aren't returned by CharacterActivities.

(Not that I don't want this to change or see CharacterActivities expanded, see #432)

I'll have to give this some thought - this would be another place where we may have to add and maintain a manual relationship between these bounties and their activities/locations... and I'd like to do that, but I also have to be careful of signing us up for too much manual relationship creation work: it's the problem of staffing vs. future needs.

If we had these relationships available directly in the data, that will be a different story... but I'll need to do some investigation to see if that's something we can do. If we can hook this kind of data up automatically, I'm game for it. If it'll require something that we'll have to manually maintain going forward, we may have to go without.

I'll make a bug to track that investigation!

I wasn't expecting the bounties to get linked up, i just listed them as part of my findings. All you really need to know is which activityHash is currently active for a given day for each destination. From what other folks have told me, it sounds like these are the same for every player. I'm quite happy to manually link the bounties and then hide them depending on whether the user has a non-expired bounty on them.
