Guild Wars 2

I think something that’s missing here is the fact that you have no guaranteed survivability when using a waypoint and something happens. Like the waypoint gets contested and you get swarmed by monsters as soon as you appear.

I’d suggest making an “invulnerability” when using a waypoint for around 1 minute (which was the approximate duration in another game I played) for as long as you do NOT move. If you move, it disappears and you can be attacked. If you don’t move, you can teleport again, even if swarmed by monsters.

It could also help for people with slow connection.

I’ll take for example this:

I teleported my alt on the Balthazar temple to buy some shards, deposited them into my collectible and then logged off. When I logged on it again, it was now contested and died in 2 seconds without any time to react what so ever. If I was invulnerable. I could have decided to waypoint somewhere else, so that I don’t die for nothing.

It’s just one of those “nice to have” things that doesn’t add much or break the game, but helps player in making the use of waypoints less dangerous.
