Guild Wars 2

I main a thief, but any teleporting class should know what I mean. From spawn to the close node on blue team, you can shadowstep immediately after spawning, all the way to the node. However, on Red team the offset plates block line of sight, and by extension teleport, which means you cannot shadowstep towards home until you leave the red base. Please flatten the terrain in the red keep to allow both sides to shadowstep the same amount. Thanks.

Also please fix the quarry node, the area is riddled with flat terrain that still leaves you with no valid path. Puts all port classes at a serious disadvantage and does not allow for fair play to occur.

Similar issue on Khylo but different reasons. There are huts you can jump up on to get to mid supposedly faster if you’re a skilled jumper (lol) than the other side. Can’t recall which side, sorry.

Guys, the game just came out. At least give them a little bit of time to smooth out these edges.

actually the huts is more prone to slipping if you are not careful or latency issues.

the barrel is actually faster and less prone to slip.

i think waterfall also have a lower spot to hide where projectiles can’t hit. and unaware defenders may think you have left the point but you are still hiding there.

off topic, but on the forest map, red team far point attackers can hide behind the pillars above the blue home point and kite from there.

blue team far point attackers can’t really do it at mines.

This seems like it would be easy to fix, just “cheat” using invisible walls. Just overlay the visible terrain with an invisible version of it that is flatter than it appears, so that pathing is consistent and shadowstepping can function properly. They wouldn’t actually have to change anything about the visible design.

Applied to defenders also, so… .-.

Fun Fact. This issue didn’t exist when the game came out. Until they updated all teleport skills at some point to have a valid path to combat invalid teleport jumps to terrain that wasn’t supposed to be accessible.

Looked up when this was: Update – March 16, 2015 all teleport skills got changed.

At the same time, it takes slightly longer to get to mid from red than from blue (using the bottom path). Not sure why, the path does look identical.
(now, that was without teleports, it’s possible with them it’s different)
