Guild Wars 2

How do you guys think about raid checkpoints?

For example: I beat Vale Guardian today and did the Spirit Woods. We’re saving Gorseval for later this week but to do Gorseval we’re going to have to go through the first encounters again. You could use the ley-line rifts as checkpoints and at weekly reset raid progression/checkpoints will be reset.

This may seem a bit casual but it kinda sucks if you want to concentrate fully on Gorseval but then still have to go trough the previous encounters.

If you clear all events up to gors, you get access to the ley-rift right next to him. Sabetha technically has a ley-rift but it’s waiting for a future update, so for sabetha you need to clear bandits each time you open the instance.

If you’re having to redo previous encounters leading up to gors, you didn’t fully complete them the first time, or you’ve hit a new bug.

Edit: If someone opens an instance at gors, but other players don’t have the rift unlocked for a week they can suicide off and respawn at the current checkpoint.

I am sorry about this I did not know this was a feature already in place. Must’ve misunderstood my friend then…

The checkpoints are based off of your squad leader. If he/she already completed VG and the Forest Events earlier today or yesterday then the following time he/she opens a raid instance the entire team will be able to walk/ley-line straight to Gorsy regardless of individual progress of the other raid members.

However, if a squad leader who has made no progress this week opens the raid instance everyone will be starting at encounter 1 despite if they already progressed beyond that themselves.

Not squad leader, the first person to enter the instance. The next 9 players to enter inherit progress from the first.
