Guild Wars 2

Now that it is a separate map from Eternal Borderlands, what if it was added to the list of WvW maps one can port to? EB can have long queues depending on the server and with the kite and aetherblade cache achievements added to this map it might be beneficial to allow those who are interested in the JP to access it directly?

(It might be beneficial in general for players to not have to queue for one map to access yet another map and maybe even have the occasional result of a shorter wait in EB queue for those who plan to remain in EB)

Anything that gets the JP people out of the WvW queues gets my support.

Hmmz, double feelings about this..

By putting a cache in the JP in WvW, ANet forces the PvE kitties to go into the dangerous WvW zone and at least get a keep in their possession to be able to enter it.. By putting it in a separate map, it’s more of a PvP oriented JP (without the WvW hassle), so if they wanted to do that, they’d put a cache in a PvP map.. :p

Although, on the other hand, anything that helps those high tier servers with their queues, is something I can only applaud..

I should imagine the PvP PvE and WvW zones are coded differently at a very low level.
It would be difficult to set up as anything but a WvW server for the JP map.

OTOH, if they just changed it to straight PvE, I think everyone would be delighted (except the gankers of course)

InFact. What would really make me happy would be to move the Grub and the Spirit-of-whatever into the same map as well and get it out of our way.

A compromise would be, you can only direct port to Obsidian Sanctum when holding the keep which has the portal to it though I am unsure how complicated that would be to arrange.

Why this has not been done yet…I have no idea
Why the puzzle jumpers have to clog the EB queues…I have no idea

Why Anet makes some decisions that looks like they have not really thought things through…sometimes I have no idea

The impact on the queue is minimal at this point. At most the puzzle jumpers are blocking a WvW’er for the minute or two it takes to run over to the portal and then the next person in the queue will get in. It was more of an issue when they held a spot in the queue for the 10 minutes it takes to do the whole puzzle if no PVP happens and they are halfway competent jumpers.

There should be a port that allows you to go there after completing any one of the home BL Jp’s once you get into the treasure room. Leave it a gankfeast.
