Guild Wars 2

NERF I HAVE DIED WAY TOO MANY TIMES FROM THIS kitten

I once died using the warrior’s rush down the ramp into Rata Sum—something you can run down with no damage at all. I, too, vote for the hills to be given priority the next time devs feel an irresistible urge to wield the Nerfbat.

Hills don’t have stealth, so they’re not OP.

How about we try a few hills that use Stealth?

I died from this when i was walking down some stairs plains of ashford , ascalon city waypoint. I didn’t realize i was taking damage before i was dead in 3 seconds. And my friend didn’t take any damage. so luckily i got resurrected there.

I’ve never had trouble with hills. Maybe you said something that offended a hill and it told its friends. You know hills have friends in high places.

These hills are too OP I have seen them claim the lives of many a friendly and enemy zerg a like, leaving piles of dead at the bottom….

hahah i love it.

I guess the mods see a light hearted post about fixing a bug as a “suggestion” and moved my post to that forum. Sigh.

Ill have to remember that for any future bugs I find in the game :P

Hills ar ballanced, you’re just bad. Maybe you should play a hill yourself to see how “op” they are…
They are actually kinda up. Low mobility, no real acces to stability, just like the necromancer…

so that killed me the other day in brisban? can they kill when you go up too?

You jump off a cliff, gajning inertia at a rate of 3mph per centimeter, at a 0 to 15 feet, you hit the ground taking 10% of your health.

You run down a hill using sprint at 135% speed, gaining inertia should be NIL as 135% speed is capped. Your downhill slope is 1/12, after 3 feet, your incapped or dead.

Sounds more like they need to buff cliffs. Cliffs are underpowered

What gets me about cliffs is that they are quite selective in whom they target for destruction and do not seem to want to play fair at all. Compare my Guardian, Necromancer and Warrior going over the same cliff. The Necro has a far larger health pool and suffers the most total damage. The Warrior comes in second, not because he is wearing heavy armor as is the Guardian but he has a larger health pool then the Guardian.

So that little test leads me to believe that cliffs have some sort of underlying intelligence and are able to determine who has the highest health and deduct accordingly. Two similar sized heavy armor users, falling at the same rate for the same distance should in theory suffer the same amount of total damage when they arrive at that abrupt ending. That is physics.

So cliffs are definitely using some form of hack to determine the size of the health pool for the person they are attempting to destroy.

I get that from simply running down a flight of stairs ALMOST as ridiculous as the message suppression BUG.

we will soon see a post somewhere asking when the hills comes as a playable class in gw2, in 2 days i have seen asking how to create the mule class and when the commando will be available in game^^

i’m waiting for the hills to be released

Thats because Hills is the only class that is OP in WvW, PvP and PvE.

Hills don’t have stealth, so they’re not OP.

Maybe…or maybe you’re just not seeing the ones that are in stealth.

It would explain some of those invisible wall effects that I find here and there. It’s actually a stealthed hill.

I lol’ed at your diagram

Man, I just laughed really, very hard about your post. I died a lot of times to OP hills. And I died to hills that are small than non-killing cliffs.

YEAH!
Nerf hills!

You shouldn’t take so much damage from sliding down a hill. I screwed up my knee by dropping 15 ft and landing on it. Every time I slid down a hill, I would come out of it with a minor scrape and some worn down pants.

The amount of damage taken sliding down the side of a hill is stupid imo.

I understand this is a troll post but then again I hate it when you take 48k damage by sliding down a steep hillside on your kitten .

All classes have a counter for hills, all you people crying just need to l2p the game.

Just nerf EVERYTHING!

How does this not have a dev response yet? F’ing hilarious. Also, frustratingly accurate!

When talking with friends or on ts3 I would refer to this as ‘skid damage’.

The reason there is no response to this I believe is that the coding is deep deep down there and to fix a ‘skid death’ would take more work than most of us imagine it.

Loved your post. Absolutely loved it.

But, to get around the issue on hills, go down at quickly alternating left to right angles using your right mouse button to “weave” your way down, or with your forward+strafe movement keys. It’s when you go down straight that you get destroyed by trillions of grass blades, angles seem to be their only weakness.

Also, the faceplant at the bottom of the hill (if I live) makes me crack up every single time.

Hills are OP? “Hill no!”

“BAM, SUPER SECRET STEALTH MULTI ATTACK ALPHA STRIKE 5x for 4000 damage each!” <3 this

i remember casting “ride the lightning” off of that metal pipe in queensdale (where the slimes are, i literally rofl cause i was in lightning form when i suddenly went spat down below…. i was quite amused =D

This is the best forum thread EVER! And I agree. Hills are overpowered. When I can die from them but survive jumping off a cliff from the same height, there’s a problem.
