Guild Wars 2

I’ve noticed a lot of late that the Hidden Depths Waypoint in the Silverwastes is marked as CONTESTED during events and this makes it very hard to really enjoy the event because, obviously, every time I or anyone else gets eliminated by the phantom hounds running in the maze its a minute or so run back at full speed – then use of the skritt tunnel, another run across the sands and back into the labyrinth once more.

It never used to be contested all the time – so what’s the deal here, ArenaNET? Its become so bad that I really don’t bother doing the event anymore due to the amount of messing around involved in getting back when dead.

From memory there’s an event that needs doing to make it uncontested (I think this one https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Help_Solus_collect_plant_material_for_his_oil_processors). Which I think has always been the case, so chances are when you’ve had maps where it’s been uncontested it’s probably because you’ve lucked out and others on the map have done the event earlier, probably before the vinewraith.

Ach, the pain the pain! I’ll watch for that.

Ideally, the commander of the south lane will send 3-4 players there to handle it after the first lane succeeds, but that’s not as common as it should be.

That plant event must’ve been bugged cause I hadn’t seen it pop since the area was first released.

Ive done the little event there twice now. You can get in there through a Skritt tunnel.

Never encountered other players there though. I think it is too much off the beaten track and little to no incentive to ‘waste time’ there. Not having the waypoint can be overcome by using Skritt tunnels most of the time.

It’s a useless backwater alley with one weird Charr and a bunch of nasty vines nippin’ at yer heels. I don’t go there anymore either.

Hidden Depths have been largely ignored as not worth the time – you’re better off Chest Trainning (Apparently) during that time instead of going into the labyrinth.

Also, that stupid vine event is a pain in the ass to do.

Have you considered doing the event first?
