Guild Wars 2

First, I must admit to loving keg brawl. There’s a pretty cool community of dedicated players and it’s just plain fun. I hope to see each race eventually have a game like Norn’s game of keg brawl. This aside, I have two suggestion to make the game a little better that should be easy fixes.

First, remove the talking option for the flag keepers, or whatever they are called. When a keg lands clost to them and you try to pick it up, it is easy in the heat of the moment to select to speak to them instead of pick up the keg. It is a needless and annoying feature. The same goes for the onlookers just behind him.

Second, I find when I don’t have the keg and select a move, disarm for example, then suddenly find myself with a keg for a totally different reason (ie. someone else threw one my way and my character caught it), the move is cancelled out and I’m unable to select a new keg move for a short period of time. It’s like I’m stunned and the game can’t process what to do. Maybe this is an intentional feature, but it’s also annoying.

Overall, great mini-game!

Personally I refuse to play until they take away thrown kegs scoring. You can throw the keg and score all the way from the pick up point, and there is no point in playing at that point. Make it have to be in someone’s hands to score, period. I miss the days when it was an actual brawl (when no one knew how to place the camera for lob) rather than just a toss fest.

Only if your uninterupted or non of the other team run interception.

Either stun them or stand infront of them (doesn’t have to be that close) and even if their hurling it all the way to the cursed shore your character will grab it.

Because a #3 evade roll away from anyone intercepting close range works? And most of the time people don’t stand endzones, so you’re always stuck doing it to stop the auto-win? Maybe if Lob wasn’t so OP, it would stay a bit more close combat. I just find most matches pretty ‘brawless’. Or maybe I need to get lucky and have better groups.

you dont need to be endzone, standing infront of the thrower grabs it, if they evade roll then there not lobbing, it has a fair cast time and you can always roll to intercept.

Sure you can lob straight to score BUT only if the opponents are complete numpties.
