Fort Mariner WP contested
Why is it so useful? Postern Ward is just as convenient imo. I would either use Fort Mariner or Postern Ward, and seeing as the dungeon vendors are at Postern Ward, it’s usually there.
Maybe it’s to reflect the impact that the current story line will have on the world? I agree, it’s annoying, but I’m sure the Asura will reinstate it as some point.
Back to using Rata Sum for me.
I’m preparing myself to be ticked off about Earthshake Waypoint in Frostgorge. It now has a vine wrapped around it and that’s the waypoint (outside of the LA waypoint) that I use the most since I keep my alts in that map.
All semantics and improper usage aside, I have 2 words for why this particular WP being unavailable kittens:
Guild Bank
In Guild Wars 1 you could access your bank (the Xunlai chests) and move freely around the town with it open and accessible on your UI. Sigh. That was a nice, useful feature. I was disappointed to lose that in this game.
The guild bank is only located there though right? That’s what I assumed the problem would be. Otherwise, Karizee pretty much summed it up.
Would have made more sense for them to put the Guild bank near to the Mystic Toilet !
It has to be that one. M is attacking forts.
It very briefly annoyed me when I first noticed it, but mainly because I somehow forgot about the vines and couldn’t figure out how a waypoint in a town could be contested.
It did surprise me when I got there and realised that it’s not just contested, it’s actually in flickering pieces on the floor.
But it only annoyed me long enough to joke in map chat that this alone is enough for Mordremoth to die. After that I was over it.
You can use the one outside the gate for the guild bank (it’s about the same distance). Alternatively you can use the waypoint next to the old bank/mystic forge and speak to the Guild Registrar NPC, the first choice is to see your guild bank.
“Life’s a journey, not a destination.”
^Oh! I forgot about that! Thanks for the reminder, Danikat. =)
Was going to add that a quick trip thru HotM (PvP) from anywhere will put you closer to the Guild Bank than that WP would (granted, it’s 2 zoning screens and 50 ft romp between portals).
Still sucks the WP is broke (the map needs to be altered to show OUT OF ORDER rather than CONTESTED when you mouse over those).
Fate is just the weight of circumstances
That’s the way that lady luck dances
