Guild Wars 2

There are a number of waypoints that are always or almost always contested. This makes them pointless except as essentially another POI for map completion.

A number of these, such as Concordia, are leftovers from LW2’s vine attacks, while some others are just positioned such that there is always some kind of event going on in the area (or occasionally are part of capture events that no one does very often, and so are always in enemy hands).

At the very least, those points that are 100% offline due to the LW stuff should show as permanently contested no matter where you are waypointing in from, instead of looking valid until you fail to appear in the proper location. While obviously the server system means showing event-dependent contesting from other maps is not possible, the LW disables are fixed and unchanging. Ideally, the ones that are semi-permanently locked need to be repositioned or the relevant events tweaked so that they are more useful, and the LW points should be fixed up and brought back into service already. Contesting has it’s place, but it is very annoying to be routed around uncontrollably, especially with long load times per waypoint use.

I’ve been exploring Orr and trying to do map completion there but there is one place that is impossible for me to reach. Something Balthazar where there’s a hero point behind something that spawns infinite number of Risen waves… someone on Map chat said it’s impossible to get to without doing pre-events first but no one was there to do any of these events.

I know that hero point. Here is how I get past it if it is not cleared. You need a revive orb to do it though. Perhaps you have one from login rewards or BLCs. Anyway what you do is rush to the hero point from the right side of the map that leads you there. Use dodges or what ever you can then die up against the hero point on the right side away from the vet when the mobs swarm you. Then wait for all the mobs to leave, look to make sure some other player does not rush up to spawn them again, then use the revive orb. As soon as you spawn again commune and you have it.

Other than that you can try a Spy Legion Kit as well. Just have to time it when you get to the hero point.

I’m going to try that, I have quite a few of those things just sitting in my bank. Thanks for the tip.
