Guild Wars 2

[Daily Achievement Suggestion]

So I was on my thief the other day at Steeleye Span, and I noticed all of the turrets that lined the wall. I had not even noticed them before when I was on my engineer, but I thought I would jump in one now to see what it was like.

I found that I could kill all manner of things in the range of the turrets. It was really fun, and I thought of all the other stationary weapons in the game that go unnoticed. So I tried to think of a way to get more players into using stationary weapons, and came up with this suggestion.

Share your thoughts.

It’s a good idea, but unfortunately there aren’t very many of them in the game, and most of the ones that are (outside of WvW) are pretty awful.
Like the sniper rifles. Yeah, they do a ton of damage, but without leading they’re useless against moving enemies, and the things they hit stay out of combat mode and start regenerating the damage you just did extremely fast, which is especially bad due to the lack of target leading, since if you miss 1 shot your first hit is already regenerated.

Except for the ghostbore cannon in the Iron Legion personal story. That thing will get you the daily in 1 shot guaranteed.

May be they could include this daily in a patch that revamps those weapons? I am still disappointed that the big charr tanks don’t move.
