Guild Wars 2

If you are in a nice, healthy zone waiting on a big boss event, and (sadly) get suckered into joining a taxi raid to a completely empty zone, is there any way to get back to where you were (zone it’s full yet) without someone in the first zone having a taxi out there to join and come back?

Is there any way to ‘talk’ to people on that IP and ask them to throw up a taxi?

And in the event anyone is reading, can anyone at Teq right now throw up a taxi that’s in the ‘healthy’ zone? ‘Not’ the IP:30 zone?

If people were talking in map chat on your previous map instance, you could click on one of their names in your chat log and whisper them to see if they could party up with you so you could taxi back over. If you happen to remember the name of anyone in that map, you could also whisper them that way. But if you don’t have any chat log from that map instance or can’t think of someone’s name, then you don’t really have any other option, other than leaving the squad you joined and trying your luck with relogging.

That’s a good idea, I’ll remember that for next time, thank you!

Also if you join a taxi group and find yourself on an empty map double check you chose the right person to right click and join.

What’s happened to me a few times is that I join a taxi squad/party, right click someone random, move to their map and then find they’d only just joined the squad as well and hadn’t moved to the right map yet. Or the map we’re trying to get to is full and they are still on the one they started on.

So I have to try again to get to the map the taxi is actually for.

On that latter idea, I always locate the commander of the squad and select him/her to join for map switching. It seems very unlikely the commander would be on the wrong map.

Commanders can make this easier by moving themselves to group two for easy location in the squad grid. The symbol isn’t always visible or obvious, especially as larger squads shrink the boxes.
