Guild Wars 2

Over half of the map is in a permanently contested mode, seeing as it isn’t a endgame zone like dry top, cursed shore or silverwastes so people would frequent them, the waypoints are permanently contested, only rarely is the temple of balthazar wp open.

it’s not good design to have a huge portion of the map unwaypointable like this, please do something about it, you can have events near a waypoint without having to make them unusable.

Since it seems that Arena Net is planning to reduce the number of waypoints in new maps (may be wrong, but the reveals of the HoT map and SW + Dry top lead me to think that way) i would recommend you to adapt.

If you are looking for an open Balthazar, create a LFG or find one, there is VERY often one that will be open. There is some waypoints in this part of the map that can never be contested too.

Which means you go in on foot and uncontest them for others. Orr was meant to be a big organized campaign for level 80s. It’s just nobody wants to do that anymore.

Then bring a group over to do them event to make the waypoints uncontested. You are expecting other people to do it for you? And calling it a bad design just because you can’t waypoint to the location you want, because no one bothered to uncontest them for you?

Seriously? And Orr is supposed to be not a safe place because of the Risen. That is why many of the waypoints of contested to show you that this place is not for the faint hearted.

Actually Orr, ALL of Orr is considered an endgame zone. It’s why there are no hearts in Orr. It’s Zhaitan’s doorstep, did you expect a welcome mat?
