Guild Wars 2

In regards to the wondrous adventures of breaking out of zones/maps…

Really nothing too drastic but there used to be a boulder roughly where my toon is placed that allowed you to get on top of the displayed building roof which then allowed you to reach the snowy ledge using the same technique leading to ‘breaking out’ of the zone/map of Hoelbrak.

When and more importantly why was it removed?

If anyone could clarify/resolve this for me.. is breaking out of zones/maps to explore out of curiosity with zero intent of personal gain in any way not allowed?

This leads me to believe other zones/maps may get tweaked to remove said objects/content that allows players to break out of them.

Of course stuff like that would be removed. Players aren’t supposed to “break out” of maps.

Well, I guess they finally cracked down on it then.

Just tested the 2 usual ways to break out of DR and they too have been patched (invisible barriers implemented).

Not sure when this was done.

There used to be a short-cut for the Vista near the Snow Leopard Lodge that was also removed. Eventually, I guess all of these little short-cuts will be gone.

Indeed. I particularly enjoyed the views from the dome building in DR. Ah well.
