Guild Wars 2

Pretty much as title says.

The new changes to contested waypoints and megaserver with the June 17th patch moves you to a nearby uncontested waypoint if the one you’ve chosen is contested on the megaserver shard you arrive on.

The thing is, it sometimes will place you at a waypoint you may not have previously mapped before.

I waypointed to Cloven Hoof in Harathi yesterday and was instead moved to a waypoint to the south – which apparently was the only thing my elementalist was missing on map.

Map completion for doing nothing. <3

It is basicaly trade offs of the system.

Well, technically it’s working properly. It says “if that waypoint is contested in the destination map copy, the player will be redirected to the nearest uncontested waypoint”. It doesn’t say if the “nearest uncontested waypoint” have necessarily to be a discovered one. However, if it’s intended to happen or not only devs could tell.

A side note and funny fact: once I tried to go to a waypoint on Southsun Cove (one at southeast but I can’t recall the name) and it was contested when I arrived, but the weird part was the game took me to the camp at west, where there’s not any waypoint. I landed at a point of interest instead at a waypoint. Hmm, now speaking of this I realize it could have been a bug…

why report this as a bug? so few “bugs” can potentially benefit you.

just enjoy your map completion.
