Hi there.

This discussion is more focused on hopefully getting a response from ANet regarding teleport skills and the new map / current maps.

Right now many classes (Thief/Mesmer/Guardian) can use teleport skills to go through walls to certain places as well as traversing vertical areas (can go from bottom of Clocktower to a ledge instantly).

With the new map being more vertically inclined, what is ANet going to do about these teleport skills and their wide abuse in Paid/Free tournaments?

As of right now, this would give a clear mobility advantage to three of the classes most widely seen in current Tournaments.

Thank you.

Temple of the silent storm will not be on the tournament rotations.

Considering the map is being shipped with BETA status, I wouldn’t consider it proven from a competitive standpoint. I’m not saying it won’t ever be in the tournament rotation, just not right now. After talking to people, we aren’t considering the teleporting a bug. I also wouldn’t consider it an issue on the new map.
