Wintermute.5408 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) Jump from Black citadel to Seitung province waypoint is 9 silver and 28 copper. Look Anet, i really appreciate the vast amount of literally nothing you dumped between core lands and new expac for no reason whatsoever, but this is way, way, WAY overpriced.

Palador.2170 Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 You eventually do get a portal scroll to a place in Cantha, once the story's at the right point. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 9 silver...if you make decent gold daily, even weekly, it's not an issue. If you need to port to Cantha then make sure you have a good reason to be there if you're worried about losing too much money. But it's not expensive at all to me, and makes sense given how far away it is from the main land. 3 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason for this price. I'm doing fractals. Kindy point me towards fractal entrance in Kantha, or kitten off. It is an issue. It's 20 silver I lose each time I need anything in previous zones. For no reason, other than anets map designer having a stroke. erm that is one waypoint there to LA and one waypoint back, like 20 silver. You cannot make 20 silver in fractals? If you are crazy for fractals you can get the mistlock sanctuary passkey, is pretty nice even if you don't do a lot of fractals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Red Killian.3946 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 This is the reason for portal scrolls. Use the arberstone one when you get it and you never have to pay. Then to go back to mainland tyria, literally use any living world portal scroll and your price is cut down drastically. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaliwenda.3428 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 (edited) I was kindof shocked at the price too. I don't have the portal scroll yet. One of my guilds has the new hall unlocked and there is an entrance into Cantha from there, so if you can get into a guild with the hall in Cantha you can get there that way now. (That way's free.)

Duke Blackrose.4981 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Maybe they just need to normalize waypoint costs. One set in-zone cost and one set out-of-zone cost. None of the distance-based nonsense that shouldn't even matter since it's instant teleportation technology. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.6590 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 I sent you 5 gold so you can cover up the fees for the next 50 waypoints from black citadel to seitung province. You really shouldn't worry about that stuff. 2 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly.7019 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 If you're new to game and poor waypointing seems expensive regardless of where you are going. Join a guild and access your guildhall for bank and vendors. You can leave Cantha to your guildhall unload bags and then leave the guildhall right back to where you left from. Or use the guild portal to go to LA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tho I agree with you one the WP cost, I have to say there are literally two portal scrolls for this purpose, LA fractal portal scroll and Eod Echovald scroll. You can use both. You get la scroll during the fractal event, and Echovald during story. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burstaxe.1832 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Just FYI you can go to LA for free at any time by going into WvW and then exiting to Lion's Arch. Doesn't 100% fix the high wp cost, but it does halve it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it could be worse like ESO where they have some kind of increasing cost way shrine penalty system if you use fast travel too often in a short period of time.

So sick of this entitled and privileged way of thought. You expect ANet to just modify their vision based on YOU not being able to play how YOU want. Yall act like that just because this game can be played solo and you do play it solo that somehow you deserve to be magically catered to. I play solo too - heck, I'm not even in a guild, but these changes dont bother me, but rather help me become a better player - challenge me to find new ways. You complain because you're wanting and you're not getting what you want. 9 silver to port across the entire map? Poop. As soon as you port and fight a couple mobs you make that back in trophies or salvage. 9 silver is ridiculously unnoticeable the way it comes and goes in this game and I only play 2 days a week. When I see such a large group of people complaining about not being able to get their way in a virtual world that has explicit boundaries and limits - it makes me rather sad and feel sorry for all of you. This is your life, this is how you're spending it. I hope you can see how silly this complaining is and find a way to heal yourself of these self imposed burdens. 4 3 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wintermute.5408 Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 Amount of people missing the point is amazing. It's not about me "not making enough". Genuine thanks to some random dude who tried to send me 5 gold for travel expenses, you can keep it. Spend it on something more useful than leg runes. It's not about "there is a guildhall or portal scroll you can use". Those things are extra hoops to jump through, contrary to a persistent, established system that are waypoints. And the guy who thinks there's "challenge" in paying 10s for waypoint travel - I want some of what you're having. That's some quality bloodstone dust. Answer me a question - why? Why is it costing 2 times more than normal travels? What's so special about Cantha that it warrants such entry fee? "It's because the distance is so big" - why is the distance made so big? I'll tell you why, actually. Because the waypoint system isn't made for those distances, and was made to operate on the scale of original map. Which now got 2 times bigger, without Anet actually thinking it through. This thread is made for them to change the waypoint calculation system. Because let's be honest, 10s, while not particularly high, is already out of the pocket change zone, and not every player farms gold at efficient rate (or farms it at all). This is also an unmotivated increase to a game-wide goldsink, which now will take 2 times more gold out of the whole economy than it used to. If there is an actual reason to force gold deflation like that, I'm all ears. For now, I still consider this whole thing an oversight and a mistake. Also, sorry about my yesterday's tone. I was in a really kitten mood. 5 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figloalds.1274 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 There's this other game that I play where I can use waypoints for absolutely free at any time even in combat and it makes GW2 feel absurdly outdated. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
