Changing map IP without being grouped?

[prettywaterlily.2197]

Does anyone out there know if it's possible to swap IPs without being grouped at all or if it's even possible?

 

If you do please let me know, thank you!

Not without relogging and a lot of luck

 

Otherwise you need to taxi via a group. The game has no other way

Ah, darn...well thank you anyways! Have a good one! :smiley:

It's not guarenteed to achieve anything, but you could try guesting.

 

Log out to the character select screen, click the 'world selection' button, pick any server which isn't your home world (this will be marked with a house symbol) and click the 'guest' button. Next time you log into a character you'll be sorted into a copy of the map using the server you're guesting to instead of your normal home world. As I said it's not guarenteed to make a difference, because other things have higher priority for sorting like whether any of your friends or guild members are there, and of course the other server might already be sharing instances with yours, but it's a chance.

 

I once spent an entire Saturday morning trying to either drop into a copy of Malchor's Leap where the temple of Dwayna wasn't under Pact control or trying to persuade people to let the defence event fail so I could retake it (because I needed that chest for an achievement) and nothing worked, then I guested to a different server and it put me in a map where the temple was under enemy control.

Thank you so much! :smiley: I'll give it a try next time and see if it works!

This has been a long time complaint unfortunately, specially from us Gw1 players who really, really, REALLY!! miss the old District system in Gw1 lol

 

It's unfortunate Gw2 never got a system like that, it can be a real pain getting into specific maps with some people.
