Guild Wars 2

I was mapping Diessa Plateau and was asked to voluntarily move because the map i was in was closing down. So I moved.

Less than 3 steps in the new map, I was asked again to voluntarily move. So I moved.

Again, three gathering nodes later, I’m asked to move again. This time I wait till my buff runs out. Then I moved.

And… you guessed it. I was asked to voluntarily move a fourth time, moments after I joined this new map.

This is the 2nd map that this has happened to me. The first map was Sparkfly Fen, but I understood because it was right after Teq. Understandable.

But the 2nd time, it was Diessa Plateau. Next time, I think I will be staying on the map, having to continuously move really ruins the flow of mapping.

Suggestion. Don’t ask players to voluntarily move when the map is closed, wait till you find a proper map/stable map to move players to.

Additionally have fixed maps which are never closed. The players that move between events may be happy with the maps which are closed. See also topic by me where I suggest that players could create a new map for organized events, like Tequalt and Triple Trouble. When they can create a new map, they never end up to fill the fixed maps, or maps with smaller bosses.

The dialog asking to move and the eventual forced move are annoying, specially if it comes often. If you have to ask, ask if the player want to play mostly solo in a fixed map and not get the dialog again.

Have a dialog which lists all the maps and allow players to choose. Taxis are ok but it would be faster to jump directly to the announced ip.

Something is probably broken with that system. When I was doing the Golem MKII event earlier it was asking people there to move even though there was a decent size group there already.

I’ve also ran into the issue where it asked to move a second time very soon after moving. I didnt’ get to a third but that might be because the server crashed not longer after the second move.

Do the buffs for relocating stack?

No, it just refreshes itself to the maximum duration (10 min IIRC)

Same thing happened to me the other day in Bloodtide Coast. Was asked to change maps 2 or 3 times in quick succession.

I’m guessing the system they implemented still needs some ironing out.

All in all, though, I’m really happy with the general idea (being given an opportunity to leave a low population map) – so I don’t mind if there are a few speedbumps along the way.

Happened to me in Frostgorge post-Claw.

On the plus side, every time it did I got more Ancient Wood and Orichalcum

Hehe I had it happen to me in Frostgorge yesterday too. Was down in the crevice chopping wood when the skritt burglar suddenly appeared. Chased him and killed him near where the snow troll champion lives. Killed troll – got asked to move/moved – killed troll again – got asked to move/moved – killed troll a third time. Was pretty funny

You can’t get more than 2 ori and 2 ancient wood spots there .. only thing that may
happens is that the ones you haven’t harvested already are now next to you.

However .. i wish i have that “problem” at that permanent rich platinum vein ..
That was nice sometimes before megaserver when late at night sometimes you
only had to relog and it was there again

Did you report this via an in-game bug report? I tend to think the system definitely needs “tweaking” and without players reporting this kind of thing, they won’t have the proper data (or volume of happenings) to properly do the changes that are needed.
