Guild Wars 2

Fixed a bug where waypoints were available for a few seconds between repel events.

So what are your thoughts on this? Time to say goodbye to those long fights inside lords room eh?

Emergency Waypoint
Availability: Walled Objectives
Temporarily creates an incontestable waypoint at the objective.

Don’t forget there is the new emergency waypoint in tier 3 of the guild claiming improvements. We don’t know the specifics on how long it lasts and it won’t recharge as fast as the time between repels but waypointing to a contested objective isn’t completely gone.

lol apparently it was a bug, but I’m not sure why that one was prioritized.

On the other hand:
Arrow Carts (all types) now require 10 more supply to build.
Players can no longer rally off of basic creatures in WvW.
Sentries will now mark enemy players on the map for 30 seconds.
xotic WvW equipment can now be salvaged. Badge gear yields badges. Tournament ticket gear yields standard exotic salvage materials.

It will actually make people react faster to save something if wp are contested. I think it has always been too easy especially with siege disablers in the game to delay defending something right away. Nothing like having a map que wp and save the day against less numbers.

Dunno if i got this right. So like if there isn’t anybody from the guild present that captured and claimed this keep like 2+ hours ago its basicly screwed?

You can make sure every upgrade is accessible to the public (non-guildies) or not.

Oh glorious day!

it didnt help that much but it did help somewhat sometimes depending on if people actually used it

Basic creatures as in red n yellow mobs? Finally !

Now all they need to do is make them all ambients while keeping their character models for immersion so theyre no longer an interference in fights.

That will take another 3 years, well, maybe 4 this time around ….

If you do that, trolls/spies will waste them.

They’re basically removing features and making it harder on you if you don’t buy HoT (watch out for: “players with HoT can buy special arrow carts that require 10 fewer supplies” in a future update). Not surprising, considering F2P and how hard they’re trying to upsell HoT.

My prediction regarding the change to waypoints:

more ninja pvd, fewer waypoints, more running, more scouting keeps, fewer battles, sadness, HoT optimism, HoT disappointment, join the other 90 percent of WvW players who have already quit the game.

We shall see. The last stress test was for 24 hours. Most people quit playing it as soon as the first 3 hours was over. If they enjoyed it, they would have stayed.

The WvW team seems the most out of sync with what players want.

That’s probably because of the game breaking bugs xD. Waypoints to home towers only usable by that corner’s server could be used regardless of who owned the tower, necros were permanently locked from their utilities after going into shroud etc.
