Guild Wars 2

I was doing Ascalonian Slayer for Daily and I ran into one of the Sonic Periscopes from the F&F Story Arc. I was wondering if anyone knew why they are still here even though we are in the Secrets of Southsun Arc?

I talked to a Living Story npc in Wayfarer Foothills, she said something along the lines of:
“Seems the Molten Alliance doesn’t even know they lost already, it will soon sink in though.”

Not literally what she said but it comes down to the same thing.
So apparently, most of the Molten Alliance is unaware of the fact we destroyed their HQ (for now) and keep on fighting. The Molten Alliance forces we see now are mostly just remnants who don’t realize they are fighting for a lost cause.

Do you just have an issue with them still phsycially being there or are they attacking you? because I encountered several yesterday and not a single one was active or even targettable.

Yes please. I hate the periscopes, and there is no reason for them anymore.

They were attacking yesterday, at least on my server.

I can still destroy them, they still attack and can pick up audio logs but cant find anyone to turn them into …. exercises in frustration.

I found a few that were still attacking on my server but for the most part, I can find them destroyed and still pick up the audio logs. So yea.... why are they still around?

So they might be a permanent feature? Can I suggest you force people trying out the game to level in Wayfarer/Plains of Ascalon. Nothing is so fun as to get 50% health blasted away by a feature that doesnt fill any function. Oh, get the knockback back too, and maybe the wonderful veteran mobs that one-shots low level characters.
Moronic mechanic in a starting zone, if I ever saw one.

Noticed this too, and rather irritated- I was hoping to finally be rid of those kittening annoying map features with the end of the Flame & Frost story.

And put the collectors back for a few days after the periscopes are removed please. I have about 10 of the logs so far that I have collected and am holding on to.
