Guild Wars 2

I understand north boat and south boat. There is a boat in the north. There is a boat in the south. That makes sense. Could someone please explain to me why the other two locations are called north hills and south hills though? The “hills” are literally the same distance north/south and only differ in the longitude direction. They’re more aptly called east and west hills defense. Or waypoint defense and bayou defense or something….I mean, while we’re on the topic, could someone explain to me why “north hills” is even called a “hill”? There are no hills. It’s a beach or a swamp. In both cases we’re talking about almost perfectly flat land. Where does the “hill” come from?

For your convenience I have included a map detailing spawn locations for Tequatl adds.

This is a NA thing, and i always thought the whole setup in NA is weird. They have two defense groups on each side, instead of one on east and west like in EU. Consider spawn times of mobs never interfere with spawn time of the fingers thingys you can easy move and kill off all of it and even help the ranged party with mob until next spawn cycle starts. We also don’t call them hills and boat. Just east and west

As someone who moved from EU to NA I always found the NA one to be a bit silly.

wow didnt know events were different in different areas.

So what other events are different like this?

^ event exactly same just EU player and NA player usually set up for it different. Probably just because different way each region learn to do event.
