Guild Wars 2

Gilded Hollow needs a WP up on the 3rd level like Lost Precipice has one right smack dab in between 4 houses. There is no easy access to that area of homes. There is one glorious crib right where my toon is standing. (and would make a good spot for a waypoint)There is another glorious great hall with an “O” entrance off to the right and a fountain area off to the left. This entire floor which i call the “3rd level” needs a waypoint asap! I’m tired of wasting decorations to make ladders to get up there, or jumping the anet hidden route. It’d be much easier to get others up there to for guild events if there was a waypoint. It’d be also great if you could put one on the roof(4rth level).

Either add “Further Exploration III” which has these things or add a new upgrade for guild halls that let you unlock these waypoint locations. I would have thought they already would have been there and you’d just have to get up there with your toon to discover/unlock it, but nopes.

Now i’ve heard people mentioning making craftable waypoints that people can place around the gh, but i don’t know if that’s possible, good idea though.

So what would Lost Precipice get for further exploration?

Can’t have one guild hall be better than the other.

I can’t really compare since i don’t have LP permissions in my other guild to place objects and really explore. But if you have LP as your main gh then you should know if waypoints are on all levels or not. If memory serves, there’s one by the water, one at mid (Main entrance) and one up by those four homes, (3rd level?) Plus LP seems like more effort went into designing it/ bigger/better, but that’s probably due to no ceilings and being more open. So it seems like LP already has a slight advantage AND INFACT IT DOES. Lost Precipice has 6 waypoints compared to Gilded Hollows 5 wps (looks like one is already better), so that one i was talking about up on the 3rd level we don’t have would be nice to get! I’d say equal waypoints for everyone on those 4 levels would be the first fix. I’m sure Further exploration III will have much more stuff then just that.

So it looks like both halls have entrance from map wps, Arena wps, Main entrance middle of map wps, mine wps and then things get funky.

LP has an “upper plaza wp”, GH has an “waterfall plaza wp”. LPs upper plaza has 4 homes and a glorious waterfall home near by. GH has a glorious end of the JP area that can be sectioned off into living quarters, but its on the same level as mid wp.

LP has another wp I’m not sure what for. not really any closer to the nodes then the other main one. but it does help for movement around the guild hall.
LP also has many walled and windowed nooks and crannies unlike gilded hollows cave nooks and crannies, not as cool imo. Since i know GH has some stuff up above wps i assume the same for LP, but no permissions leaves me clues as to that.

I dunno, I count the 3rd floor + the surface level of Gilded Hollow a huge pro over LP. I always considered the decoration system being able to get you to those far places of guild hall a feature, as opposed to a bother. But I don’t shun the idea of a waypoint up there as some form of expansion of Gilded Hollow. But Lost Precipice doesn’t really have much above to discover as it’s already above ground. (Zephyrite Airships maybe?) Thus it would really need something as well.

Of course, some subjective differences may exist between Gilded Hollow having less “houses” and more huge architectural buildings but I don’t see that as a huge pro over one or the other. That’s just taste.
