Guild Wars 2

Territories would not just work for gliding; they could also function perfectly as the boundaries for defense events. Currently, killing an enemy 50ft from an objective they were trying to capture will not earn you defense credit. The current boundaries for defense events do not account for the fact that fights over objects can move off the objective or take place nearby. I sometimes find myself killing an enemy 20ft from the walls of our contested keep without getting defense credit (because I’m barely out of range of the event).

Can territories be used for defense events in some fashion? Defense events are a poor source of rewards in their current state, but this small change would at least be a start to improving them.

Killing an enemy in the northernmost part of NWT on DBL doesn’t count for the defense even either—even if you’re inside the walls.

They did mention that the objective for the current territory will display on the UI somewhere. It’s unclear what that means, but if they’re referring to the objectives that already display when in an objective, it should be a small step to allowing participation gain at that distance.
