I hate runners, the destroy the game. Many new players I find dont even know that you can get to droknars without being runned. That's not how it's supposed to be.
I love this new layout.

LOCKED GATES - Anyone else sick of this? :/
2 pages • Page 2
Honestly, the only locked gates I've come across that I've actually cared about were the ones on the starter island with my Tyrian Ranger. There's no way I'm getting through those gates, thus, no way to totally complete the map. That bugs me.
But, when I got to a locked gate on the mainland, I looked at it, said "oh", turned around and started doing quests again. I hadn't even thought about it until I saw this thread. I'm going about my merry way getting buko XP from random quests. That's what I was after the whole time (skill farmer).

OMG are you really saying what i think you are saying?that you did the quest that took you past the gate as part of the quest?.............what an amazing concept

The locked gates are a way to put more content in a smaller place on the map while still forcing the game to be linear. Sure, you have to do the first mission to get to the guardens. And you had to finish THK to get to Ember Light Camp. I don't see where the issue is.
If you're mad that you can't get run everywhere, then oh well. That was Tyria, and this is not. I'm certainly not going to shed any tears because people can't get through the game without even playing it. Especialy now that players have a better slot/class ration, and an upcomming option to buy slots.

The locked gates are a very good idea, in my view. When it comes to the 12 vs. 12 battles, do you want 10 incompetants running around like headless chickens, dying horribly, and getting the enemy point count up? Although i think i have seen a way to get run to the last outpost in kaineng city, which i won't say, since it's useless anyway, because you have to get the right quests to get to kurzick, and then to luxon.
If you really want to know, i try exploring all of kaineng city, and i'm not 100% sure it is an option.

I just realised this as well, can't enter some areas.
Well, it won't be as bad I hope once someone has mapped the whole of Cantha so people can peruse it online.
Will make pathing much easier and faster.
Of course, it might also mean ALL my characters have to strictly follow the storyline.
I think I actually appreciate the fact that in Tyria the map was much more free-roamable.

I go back a bit and come to some guard by a gate who tells me I need to go do more training!! WTF!!!
I can fully understand A/nets stance on running as it is getting totally OTT - perfect example was within 30 mins of factions going live on Thursday there were people both offering and requesting runs to "the next town". What is the point of playing the game for christ sake if you're just going to get run everywhere. The RP in RPG stands for Role Playing not Run People  But back to the point of op - I think that there should be some indication that a warp point is "locked" as I did spend 2 or 3 hours fighting my way to some points only to find they were locked because I'd not done a quest/mission. Maybe is A/net could show the warp point with an red X through it or something - you'll know it's there but can't get through yet? My 2p's worth anyway Rich |
Running is just another part of the game get used to it or go play another game. I have beaten all the missions in Tyria more times than I can count on my fingers, I sure as hell know I'm not waiting to get my 15k armors for my new characters. And why should I, haven't I experienced the game enough to skip some parts? I mean jeeze go find something more constructive to bash then poor runners. ;[
