Guild Wars 2

They obviously don’t care about it ruining world bosses so abuse it in WvW by using guardian zergs to smash down gates.

40 guardians would result in 4525.9% bonus damage per guardian.

Get on it guys.

…Wait, what? How’s this happening?

Never force your opponent to do what they want to do anyway.

A-Net will fix the bug, just give them some time.

goof up in the code in the patch

A skill that gives a damage boost based upon a count of a condition applied by a single Guardian is bugged, and incorrectly bases that damage boost on the stack of that condition applied by ALL guardians on a target.

The result is if you pile enough guardians on something running the build, which lots of people are running even if they don’t know about the exploit because it’s a very effective build in it’s own right, then the damage increase just keeps climbing until it destroys everything. Large piles of guardians are currently breaking down gates and walls in WvW without using siege equipment, as an example.

Yeah, because we all know that fixing a bug is just pressing a button.

They could always disable the trait until it’s fixed. A 10% damage trait not functioning is many magnitudes less impact on the game than the current bug.

How to fix guardians? Rename them to “mesmers” and it will be hotfixed yesterday
Sorry, had to do it.

It might be possible to create an integer overflow with this bug:
