Guild Wars 2

Can we please make dungeon waypoints (the ones at the entrance) non-contestable. I know it wouldn’t make sense with some aspects of the story, but right now on my server the quest to get into CoE is bugged…which means I can’t do CoE story on my own server. We shouldn’t be locked out of dungeons because the first part of a quest chain is bugged. Or because there aren’t enough people around to do the quest…or for any reason, really. It took me so long to finally get a group for CoE story, only to find out we couldn’t do it, which was very disappointing, and a waste of those people’s time.

agree that event blocking bugs are disappointing, even more so that those events stay bugged till new game build.

but hope is not lost. you can still guest to other server. or find someone from other server who wanna do story.

Hopefully, you’ve reported the bug, using the in-game bug report, indicating which server was having the issue.

In the meantime, guesting is probably your best option, since either the CoE event chain or CoE is likely available on another server. It’s free and it’s one of the game’s best features.

In case you don’t know how to guest:

• On the character selection screen, highlight the character you will play.
• Choose World Selection.
• Choose the server you want to guest to, and select guest.
• Select play.

Yeah I know about guesting, and I’m glad you posted that here for anyone else having the same issue. I just Don’t like that I have to go to another server to do a dungeon. That’s just not right. And yeah, I did do a bug report.

Well, it’s actually common practice these days because many don’t want to wait for the event to open the dungeon and, also, you have a larger pool of players to choose from for your party if you go across servers (especially if you use gw2lfg.com or have friends from different servers). When I do my PuG runs for CoF during my static team’s off time, people travel to different servers all the time to open CoF where possible. I like to think of guesting as a neat way for players to reach out to others across servers, so we’re not separated and forced to play with only just the people on our own servers. What if your server did not have many players that did CoE, but there were other servers with lots of people doing CoE?

If that doesn’t convince you on the advantages of guesting and connecting with players across servers, then to each their own, I guess. :P

Yes they are very annoying, I find the best way around this is to guest onto another server.

just go to http://www.gw2eventstate.com/coe

check which server has CoE open and just guest to it from the character select screen

Most people know about guesting. It’s a band-aid fix for a stupid issue. Lets stay focused on fixing the core problem in this thread.

TIL complaining about guesting being a band-aid fix for something that is barely bothersome = okay and complaining about a moronic flaw in design, like ascended gear boxes that make you pick a weapon and have fixed stats = needless complaining.

Practice what you preach.
