Guild Wars 2

Has anyone else noticed the Asura waypoints in Dry Top flickering occasionally, as though they’re losing power or being disrupted? I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it both during normal weather and the sandstorms, so it doesn’t seem like it’s weather-related.

Yep. I spent quite a bit of time sitting there watching and appreciating that little touch. Really made the existence of waypoints to be more than a simple game mechanic and really seems to be acknowledgement of them within the game world as being a thing like having been set up hastily with a non-permanence feel to them, and hence the faulty or insufficient power being supplied to them that causes the flickering. My thoughts on it anyway.

The only other time I recall seeing an in-game acknowledgement of their existence is an event in Harathi Hinterlands where you help a mother and daughter find the missing husband (or son, can’t recall) – after you find out what has become of him, they wander up the hill and step directly under the floating waypoint and disappear…as if they used the waypoint to travel. This got me to thinking long ago that one should have to travel to a waypoint to have access the network to travel to another waypoint. No more of this ‘waypoint from anywhere to anywhere at any time’ behavior, that players would actually need to interact with a waypoint to utilize them to travel to another unlocked waypoint.

Interesting. Gap Waypoint in Kessex is also flickering. Guess the influence of whatever this is is quite big.

Absolutely loving the suspense :-)

Gaps sparking now?? For 2 days kessix haven was sparking then it just went back to normal for some reason, the vines are growing live without patches which is cool

It looks like it skips right to Fort Mariner.
