Guild Wars 2

So basically there are probably some exploits on Khylo maps that are starting to be more and more visible and used.

1) Trebuchet shot. If you shot before the game start. Little bit earlier before you get teleported to your respawn position – the shot you had will still land after reset. This will mean you got one additional shot from Treb and this one will likely destroy the building walls giving you first shot advantage and when the map start, your first hit will get immediatelly to target area.

2) Yesterday i had a fight with Easy Mode guild who obviously like to exploit. And when the game started they somehow teleported 2 members immediatelly to our Trebuchet. In fact they were there faster then my team with swiftness buff. Im not really sure how they dit it. But i guess they used portal? Likely same like with the Treb shot, if you place your portal entry little bit earlier before game send you to respawn area. you can still place second part or the portal and that way go immeditely to enemy treb?

Can someone confirm / decline this. If im right and portal is bugged this way – when we will se a fix?

Yes these are correct, i encountered such opponents as well. You can also just position the treb before the match and it stay in that direction for a quick starting shot.

Also this once happened to my team in a battle. Our guardian was wandering around the graveyard in the foefire map during the pre-match phase and somehow he did not reset after the match started, so he could just captured the graveyard instantly. We were not sure what caused it.

So basically we need a fix for that soon

1) for portals could be that all skills should be reset at the start
2) For Treb shots – obviously it should reset position and of course projectiles that are “flying” during reset.

On a related note:

I once messed around with Infiltrator’s Arrow before round start, using it near the closed door on nifhel spawn. With two consecutive IAs I managed to tele through the door and start the round a few seconds earlier.

Are we even supposed to post stuff like this…?
