Q:

Stonemist Castle will still gain a waypoint when upgraded to tier 3, but waypoints will otherwise not be an available upgrade. Tyler said that captured waypoints were too weak when none of the objectives were upgraded but too strong when a team could snowball from a point and take over the map. Starting waypoints remain unchanged—the other existing waypoints will automatically become available when you own an objective, but only for the team with the closest home base to that objective. The north waypoint will belong to the red team, the southeast waypoint to the blue team, and the southwest waypoint to the green team.

I’ve thought about this and I am inclined to agree with all three keep waypoints on ebg not being available to one server, having been on a steamrolled and a steamrolling server. Map monopoly is discouraging for both the losing and the winning side because it’s quickly stale.

But waypoints on borderlands are a lot different than ebg. I want to know what the borderland waypoint situation is going to be.

There are going to be waypoints at the garrison and in the south-west and south-east towers. Each one is only available for the respective world (source).
