It’s easier to catch flies with honey than with vinegar.
Fort Mariner Waypoint Contested Bug
Its not a bug. During the early phases of Mordremoth’s awakening (back when Dry Top was new), Mordy started sending out vines to various waypoints. Some were wrapped up (which didn’t negatively effect them in the end, since we stopped them via the story), others were broken completely. Fort Mariner was one of the ones that got broken. If you go there you can see the pieces of the WP lying on the ground.
Mind you, I would still like it to be fixed regardless, just like a lot of the other broken things in LA. But its very much intended.
