Guild Wars 2

I really appreciate the change to the jump pads in Lost Precipice in this patch, making the updrafts automatic when touching a pad. This is an improvement from the previous behavior, where we had to activate the pad before jumping on it.

However, many of us were attracted to this guild hall because of the way it behaved while claiming it – all of the wind on at the same time, allowing for long distance gliding.

Could you please add a permanent toggle to the jump pads, allowing us to once again activate them with a toggle, but this time to turn them on or off permanently? Jumping on the pad should still activate it temporarily.

Considering we are able to store the location of hundreds of decorations in the hall, keeping a persistent on/off flag for the jump pads seems like it should be possible. Considering a switch already existed for the pads in the previous version, much of the object behavior is already available in the game. It would be a huge improvement for this guild hall.

Yes why is it even that on a hall advertised as being a gliders dream map, ya have to touch those platforms at all?

There is also a bug. The updraft works shorten then it did before. You do still see the updraft animation for the correct period but it does not do anything anymore.

This is annoying because if you see the updraft you expect it to work.

A switch to permanent turn them all on or off, or per pad would indeed also be useful.

However, there might be a other problem making this harder as it seems. The server does not seem to save the statue of objects after an instance has been removed. I notice this with some of the decorations.

There are some of the decorations (Those that come with the Deluxe edition) that I want to always have turned off or always have turned on. However it looks like it does not save this information.

This is something that would have to be fixed anyway for future animations. If you for example add a door animation you would want to be able to save the state of that door. Same for lights or many other decoration that can have multiple states. Not saving this would limit the abilities greatly.
