Guild Wars 2

I was playing in an enemy borderland and noticed that the tower’s waypoint closest to our spawn wasn’t contested even though it belonged to the enemy. I clicked on thw waypoint and it warped me inside the enemy tower! :O

Is this intended behavior or a bug? if it is intedned, then why the heck are people allowed to teleport to enemy towers?

yes, I hope this is a bug…

Same here, can confirm, i was on the enemy BL and waypointed to the enemy tower

I am regret to buy the new expansion, I am a player in SOR, the population of our sever is low for a year. And I seldem find others in the new Wvw huge map. The publish of the expansion make our sever dead. The new setting of the camp is terrible, I find that the number of NPC is much more that b4. It is impossible for a single player to capture the camp point. It make single roaming player stay away from WVW.

This new expansion full of bugs ,how long we are going to wait till ANET fix everything especially WVW.

We waited 3 years for the them to fix the “old” WvW and look where that got us…

I don’t know, maybe this was by design? Coglin, when you and the rest of the white knights were involved in discussions with Anet regarding the maps, did these kind of WPs ever come up?

Dont think so. If I recall correctly, the waypoints are supposed to always be built, but when taken by the enemy side it would of course not be active (ie always contested).

Having them active when an enemy holds the keep is… stupid. I think its just a bug.

Actually, I was being sarcastic

Tyler Bearce.3427:

Yeah, it’s a bug. Working on a fix for it.

That’s good to hear, I knew that couldn’t really be the new WvW map. I’m sure the PvE players will enjoy it. I imagine it will be placed somewhere next to silverwastes?

Anyway I am really looking forward to having the WvW borderlands back, next time save the practical jokes for april fools day.

Yeah, great player community already exploiting this. The group would literally clear anyone attacking so the keep wouldn’t be contested and came back to farm the waypoint. People coming in from other maps didnt even realize.

Jerri Tower in Eternal Battle grounds is constantly Contested.. This NPC next to me in SS keeps shooting at nothing..

This problem was in the Beta, why wasn’t it fixed?

I for one don’t even know why the keeps don’t have wp’s. The maps are beautiful but very big. A lot of players are getting annoyed having to run so far each time. Why remove wp’s from keep upgrade paths? Make it the final thing? Or is it part of the guild claiming thing and i’m just not aware?

Holding the southern towers is really hard to do especially on a map so huge. Also when you own an enemy keep you can’t use the waypoint in it on ebg.

How did this bug not get caught in testing? I noticed it in the first session…

Because the testing was for “invited” people only, not the people who would actually check that the BLs worked….

At least as of the third WvW stress test (which I participated in) this bug was found and we told Anet about it.

I think it’s known, just low priority and not as simple to fix as it appears. I’ve seen it reported all over the place so I’m sure they’ve heard about it.

Tyler Bearce.3427:

Yeah, it’s a bug. Working on a fix for it.

Q: Could you please acknowledge one of the following?

1) Fixed, will be in next update.
2) Still working on it.
3) Broken, can’t be fixed.

…please?
…please?
…please?

Tyler Bearce.3427:

Yeah, it’s a bug. Working on a fix for it.

Are the new Borderlands a bug as well? Please tell me they are and that you have an awesome map that was the correct one.

The bug in question has been fixed. Why are we reviving this thread?

Tyler Bearce.3427:

Yeah, it’s a bug. Working on a fix for it.

Any chance you could respond to the Legendary Prec Bug thread? we have only been waiting for Anet to respond for 3 weeks….
