I know we sort of have such a thing in BL’s with like the fire portals…. but I wish you would make something using the “territory” system where if you own a territory you can Jump Pad to it from a “closer to home” territory.

Example: if you own smc, and klovan, and your keep, you could Jump Pad from spawn to your keep (contested wp’s wouldn’t matter), and from there jump pad to Klovan, and from there us a pad to jump to smc.

This would make defending continuous territory more important and might work well with the new gliding in WvW since we’d be able to enable Gliding during a jump, as normal.

I know some people already hate that you’re adding gliding to WvW (without even knowing if it will work well) but I consider it a very needed thing even if it has to be worked out (details).

WvW is finally coming out of the stone ages.

I just think the JP’s would add to the fun, but also it just gets very old walking across a map sometimes just to get to the fight.

The thing is, we have to be careful to not give defending an unfair advantage. Whether it is your ability to initially enter a fight, or respawn after you have been killed, there has to be some kind of work on your part.

You want this even on contested waypoints? I sure cannot get behind that idea. Lets see how the gliding impacts it first.

Nope, the distance advantage is already strongly favoring the defending side.
