Guild Wars 2

A very short but important question:

Why is this waypoint always contested? Is this a bug or something in the sotry I missed? I am really getting annoyed by it.

It is a remnant of the Living Story.. There has been an episode where some waypoints were infested/destroyed.. And the Fort Mariner is one of those remainders..

I do wish they’d fix this. It’s not a huge inconvenience, but it’s still a mistake, and a confusing one for anyone who wasn’t around for Scarlet’s attack on Lion’s Arch.

It wasn’t Scarlet’s attack that caused it. It’s Modremoth’s tendrils/tentacles. Theres at least one other waypoint (in Brisban, iirc) that is still broken/contested, due to the tendril actually breaking the floating ‘waypoint’ thing.

One would imagine the Asura could have devised a solution to this by now…

as the ONLY guild bank in Lion’s Arch is down near that waypoint…they really need to get the waypoints fixed already.

Bad Taimi, no cookie.

I was wondering the same thing, probably the most important waypoint in LA since everything is so close to each other. I really hope they fix it as well as bringing LA back to its original glory.

I’m pretty sure you can still use the guild registrar guy at the traders forum waypoint to access it too.

Depending on your load time, it might be easier to go to a wvw borderland and hop through the portal to la, drops you out right down there in Fort Marriner.

Since I don’t use the guild bank that much, I’m not particularly bugged by the fact that Fort Marriner is still contested. The facilities I use regularly (personal bank, TP, merchant, repair, laurel vendor, crafting, dungeon vendors) are all at Postern Ward WP.

Yeah…I wind up doing my stuff in LA…then I hit my airship pass when I want the guild bank. It’s easier that way. Stupid though that there are tons of ways to access your personal bank in LA but only one (maybe two if the registrar works).

I have two personal guild banks that I use for storage of stuff so I like to be able to access that when I’m doing crafting and such.

I’m surprised more people don’t go to Rata Sum for all this. The Accountancy WP has personal and guild banks and the TP all right there, and all the crafting stations are a short jog down the radial hallways from there. The only thing you miss out on is the Mystic Forge.

Thistlereed Waypoint in Timberline Falls is also still broken. I really hope that it will
finally get fixed with the last part of LS2 .. and not left destroyed for another year like LA.

What, seriously?

Did we ever seen that one break or something? There’s just a couple fragments without any sign of Mordremoth, so I figured it was left over from Scarlet’s attack, between the event that happened there, along with the rest of the rubble, the huge ditch, and the Breachmaker wreackage.

The situation is more confusing than I’d realized. e___e

@Donari – Rata Sum is pretty great. My “craft manager” character (my only ascended crafter and ascended crafting supplies storage) is almost always in Rata Sum, except for lately when I’ve needed access to the forge for Mawdrey. It’s too out-of-the-way for all my other characters to go there whenever they need to make a quick pitstop, however.

Well I’m pretty sure it was because of a tendril. I want to say we used to be able to use that waypoint right after Scarlets attack (and we could go back into that map).

And according to wiki:

With the rise of Mordremoth, waypoints around Tyria were being consumed or demolished by his influence. Fort Marriner’s Waypoint was one of the waypoints to be destroyed.
