Guild Wars 2

Obviously not every think in a BL Chest is going to be as exciting as a Permanent Contract, but I was disappointed to get 2 “Teleport to Friend” consumables.

How is that better than a waypoint?

No matter, keeping an open mind, I’m talking to a friend when I add him to my party and launch the consumable.

It informs me that the map my friend is in is full. Then it disappears.

It’s bad enough when we pay 3 silver to waypoint and get charged even when we’re diverted or in the event of a pending patch, the transfer fails completely. I get over the 3 silver pretty quickly.

It should not work that way with Black Lion Keys and their exclusive consumables.

That violates my sense of fair play and I think it should be changed.

Contact the CS Team and discuss the issue there. Perhaps, they will be able to assist you.

Good luck.

I appreciate the advice, but I don’t want another BL Key. Really, I’m fine there.

I do want to point out that it seem inequitable to me that such an exclusive item can so easily be wasted – and not even due to carelessness.

If anything, the time someone is most likely to want to TPTF is when that friend is doing something that may result in an instance being full.

I believe it should be COD – consume on delivery.

Well, it is listed as a bug, so maybe posting in the Bug sub-forum will be more effective for bringing it to the Devs attention, if you would rather not bother the CS Team.

Good luck.

The specific bug has been reported before. It’s probably not a high priority to fix.

I would prefer that ANet remove the item from the BL Chest in the meantime. I still haven’t found a fun or utilitarian use for it.

Side note… I only find this item useful for when you create new characters and “tome of knowledge level” them to 80. If you want to do CoF and don’t want to run there you could have a friend WP to Fireheart and use this item to unlock the WP/ map for running CoF or some other dungeon. Outside this very specific situation its pretty much useless.

Great idea – or SW, or Orr, etc. I have a lot of alts, but most of them have the main dungeon/temple/world boss/farming locations, but a few still don’t.
