Guild Wars 2

The Toxic event in Kessex is completely blocking map completion for low level (i.e., zone-appropriate level!) characters because trying to swim in the toxic water near the tower to get the required map points under it (2 POI’s, a WP and a Vista) is impossible. The poisons in the water are killing us in 3 ticks!

Please, consider that it is not good to break the normal world when you design an event!!! Surely there could have been some kind of “immunity potion” for low level characters just trying to do the required mapping!

And, anticipating the trolls, the reason I am just mapping and not participating in the Tower event is that I have already completed ALL possible Tower-related achievements on one of my 80’s and I am now just trying to map on an alt.

Wait, the poison is doing more damage to low-level characters?

I just love the title of this thread.

The thing is, it is not required to complete maps. I have had the game since head start and just yesterday I got the 75% map complete achievement.

Besides, the tower has been up for the last three weeks and will be destroyed (Most likely) on Tuesday. Tough it out and go hit up Snowden Drifts, Brisban Wildlands or Diessa Plateau while you wait for the tower to get cleaned up.

In a living world, sometimes circumstances will become hostile to unseasoned adventurers :P

I’d rather have a few weeks of waiting than a lifetime of nothing new in the world.

By ’’breaking’’ You must mean making it change.
By Dying to the poison for exploring, you must mean You don’t know where to avoid the poison since exploring is still quite possible.

Maybe the OP should help us destroy the tower then? Seems like the easiest solution.

this event scales terrible for people of the appropriate level in kessex hills. even as a level 40 elementalist im dead meat of the floor, except when i am atuned to water all the time. i just hope the scaling gets a bit better for non 80 characters once the tower thing is done.
