Yes yes we have way points.
Heres the thing, Waypoints are not immersive, how many of you remember what the entrance to Divinity’s Reach or the Black Citadel looks like? For most of these locations, its a one way journey, after you made your first entrance chances are future entrances are made via waypoint.
If you dont like the idea of being able to toggle a 40% – 60% speed increase, fine don’t turn it on, keep using your way point.
But for some players who enjoy using a speed boost without having the local fauna constantly to kill us so we can take in the sights and visual art thats made beautifully, whats the harm?
Personally if we moving around the map faster, it would increase the chances that someone coming to your aid when you’re doing a Heart Quest as they would arrive to the same heart quest faster than if they had just walked there, especially if they were new to the map and dont have any waypoints unlocked.
Not to mention being able to stop and revive defeated players.
And for people who say a speedboost would just allow people to bypass mobs… Are you serious?
Dont you already bypass mobs on your normal speed?
I know I do, especially if theres 10 of them infront and I’m a rush to get to the DE happening nearby.
Right now Gw2 feels like random people zipping from one WP to the next WP to get next chain of DEs, theres no sense of comeradry, its like, oh we beat this DE, POOF may or may not see the other person at the next point oh well.
But if we were capable of moving at 40% – 60% faster, it would be a group of people who might take the time to recognize each other and put a personality behind that avatar.
Why would anyone be against trying to make a game more sociable?
