And perhaps LOL to lots of things. LOL RUX. LOL TURF in its current state.
Agreed. 😢
... I wish they’d fully unlock Oozervoire with Ops Phase 3 soon.

I wanted to come back to this topic because I'm pretty sure I've seen live examples of why the Oozevoir has the bouncy areas locked out- I have the video saved but haven't been able to trim it down to post it yet but I'll describe and maybe post it later as a funny clip.
It's happened two or three times this week in Graveyard Ops on the Oozevoir but I've seen both Corn and Cactus AI just happen to mess up their leap from the elevated areas to the center platform and land on the small patch of bouncy material.
In all of those cases that particular character gets trapped into a loop of bouncing up and down on the patch seemingly unable to move even the slight bit necessary for them to bounce off the bouncy platform. They still try to fire but otherwise just sit there bouncing until they get vanquished.
When playing as Plants I've seen an AI Captain Deadbeard also fall down onto the bouncy patch but he was able to get back onto the elevated ledge area whereas the Corn and Cactus I watched were helpless. Deadbeard did, however, keep dropping back down onto the bouncing area and then recovering on the ledge.
Based on that I think the AI really isn't able to properly understand how to handle the bouncing patches on the map and that coding a solution was so difficult it was easier to block off the mechanic.
If they did unlock those areas without solving the issue within the AI we'd likely have at least some of the AI get trapped in a loop of bouncing helplessly or perhaps doing silly things like bouncing around uncontrollably or even going off the cliff edge in that one part of the map.
LOL Ops indeed. - @realitysquared I've seen that with the Cactus AI as well - it's like have a Brainz bot in GW2 Ops. Found it quite funny!!!
To be honest that sounds like great fun 😃 I too have seen this happen and it was indeed very funny 😃
While it maybe the reason for these parts blocked...
really Ops didn't get a complete new map... just a not very exciting or interesting one with half of it missing.... very disappointing.... just another disappointment added to the list sadly.... and it doesn't look the like the new Turf map coming is going to provide anything new for Ops either.- @ToastedSarnie
First time I saw it it was a Corn and it was the last Plant in the wave. I swear the whole team just stopped and watched him bouncing there firing at us and waited to see if he would move off the bounce pad and make himself an easier target but he was just caught there so we all had a good laugh and did our best to put him out of his misery. - @realitysquared We were all stood there with our heads bobbing up & down, so ridiculous! One of my team-mates decided to try bouncing on the opposite pad to get a fix on Cactus, but couldn't get the bouncing in sync. I sooo wish I'd clipped it, but I was laughing too much to think of it 🤦♀️
