Guild Wars 2

The Ligacus Aquilo Waypoint does not give a notification when you find/activate it like the other exploration points do (waypoints, points of interest, vistas), nor does it give any experience for finding/activating it. When you find/activate the waypoint it still counts toward your Black Citadel exploration chest.

Not really a huge issue, but still kind of annoying.

Update:

The Eastern Watchpost Waypoint in Hoelbrak also has this problem. I’ll post it here instead of creating a new thread (I can’t edit the thread title?) because it’s the same issue. I’ll post any other ones I find in this thread as well.

I think every waypoint near an entrance/exit of a city has the same problem. I just encountered it again as I left Hoelbrak into the exploration area. I haven’t tested this yet, but it seems to be the case. Is this a bug, or is it deliberate?

I happen to ‘discover’ that waypoint (Eastern Watchpoint) a lot, (I make new characters 2 or 3 times a week) and it gives me XP and notification each (first) time I go there. There are, however, certain WPs that are automatic, such as those near exits from tutorials, etc.

Weird. I tested it a few times and I can’t get a notification or a reward for any waypoint that is near the entrance/exit to a town, including asura gates.

If I recall correctly, the first waypoint you visit in any new map will not give you any discovery credit (this is because it is automatically unlocked so you have somewhere to WP to if you get killed).

Yes, from what I recall the first WP you find on a new map is unlocked automatically, no notices or XPs are gained. That way, some ppl can gain XPs from a WP “X” when it’s not the first one they find on the map (like entering the map through the other side) while others can’t as it could be their first. I also thought it weird at first but then I realized that maybe it must be as “it works”.
