Guild Wars 2

Can only be obtained on a 15 minutes window every 3 hours.

I’m talking about the Hero Point found on Laughing Gull Island in Bloodtide Coast. The Hero Point is inside a pirate compound that can only be accessed during the meta-event The Campaign Against Taidha Covington.
If you try to get inside the compound outside of that 15 minutes window, you get instantly teleported out.

Very frustrating to say the least to have to keep track of an event just to be able to complete a zone when every other zones didn’t require that.
Why was it changed this way? I didn’t have to do this in the past with my other characters.

I did this fairly recently without any problem, just like I always used to. Unless it was changed in the last patch (or maybe the one before that), I don’t really know what you’re talking about.

That 15 min windows how I always remembered it being since day 1 of gw2. Unless someone can prove otherwise via wiki/dates. Best to just track it and have it done unless you plan to make any other characters.

So you are telling me I got lucky on 4 characters 3 years ago and was passing by Laughing Gull Island on the 15 minutes windows on each one of them?

Just went there to see about it. No event and not within the 15 min time limit. Gates were locked and no entrance. So I tried to glide in and was immediately transported to outside the small gate.
This does need to be addressed, but until then load up a boss timer and play accordingly. and an older thread

Yeah it’s a bit of a nuisance…
I’ve noticed this issue too.

I don’t remember ever having this problem on the 6+ characters I’ve taken through Bloodtide Coast. It’s possible I somehow managed to go to that part of the map during the 15 minute window each time, I suppose, but that does seem a bit unlikely.

I checked this earlier and I could get in – it was over an hour since the previous event, and over an hour until the next. As far as I can tell, you get locked out when the event starts, and can get back in after it’s completed. I wonder if the problem happens when the event fails, does it then stay locked until next time?

I think the door was only closed once when I was there, so I don’t believe it’s only a 15 min window.
I was just there15 min before Taidha to try it and the door was open. I think it is only closed during certain Events.

Edit: I got ported out now that Taidha started and the door is closed. So I think it is only closed during Taidha and open the rest of the time.

Edit 2: Taidha is over and the door is open again. So I don’t see any problem with this hero point.
Maybe there are some other events in this area that close the door too, I don’t know. But the door should be open most of the time.

I’m not sure, but I think the window is longer than 15 min.

You are probably on a new spawn map that never done the ebents.

You’re going about it wrong. The only door that’s closed is the BACK door, from the east. Go west of laughing gull and then when you’re south of the G in gull, go north. There’s a friggin door right there you walk through. Like I just did. You simply take the long way now.

Actually, when it’s barred, you can’t get in at all. But I think it’s 15 minutes of being barred, not 15 of being open. When Taidha is gearing up there’s a teleporting barrier all around that tosses you out if you try to enter. The rest of the time it’s a nice serene trip (unless that champ risen guy is up).

I’ve learned to duck in for that HP any time I notice it’s open since I know it’ll occasionally be barred, but I’ve never had it really get in my way.
