Guild Wars 2

Hi, I was wondering if there are any websites out there that are tracking temple open/closed status. I assume since it’s megaserver that once a temple is open that it’s open to everyone, but it would still be nice to see whether one is open or not before going to the particular map. Seems like a lot of the old sites that tracked temple status don’t do so anymore.

Nope. You have to actually access the zone to see for sure. Even if there was a website that listed OPEN / CLOSED by IP address (the only way to identify specific server zones now), you cannot accurately select a specific IP (you can zone in and out until you randomly load into the correct IP, but that can take a while to pull off).

On the other hand, Temples are OPEN about 80% of the time in Orr Zones I have entered since Mega Server release. Good for accessing Karma Vendors, but not so good if looking for a decent source of Dragonite Ore.

So when a temple is open, it’s only open for that particular megaserver shard? Or is it open for 100% of the megaservers?

Only for that zone. Orr Zones are MUCH more populated since MegaServer release, and the general farming in the area is generally better when temples are OPEN, so it’s unlikely any particular temple will remain closed for longer than an hour or so (sans some middle of the night situations).

Catching the actual Temple Events is rather difficult unless you consistently hang out in the correct Orr Zone.
