Guild Wars 2

So in case you haven’t heard, druids and guardians are able to leap into air keep on the new wvw bl. They can leap with gs and then swap midair and use wings, or the druid staff movement skill and jump the gap. They can then bypass the inner gates as well with the same thing. Which completely destroys any chance of holding air keep unless you keep a large group there constantly. Reason I’m posting here is to make people aware that this is also possible in foefire, meaning you can skip the gate to hit the lord.

Lets see if we can get a fix for this now that it is apparent that it can break pvp, its been reported for months now with no action. Keep an eye out and report people if you see them do this, lets hope anet responds soon

I have yet to see anyone using such trick within 300~ matches I played this season.
(And I vote nulfield and foefire 100% of the time)
Is there a location that’s even doable for this trick in Foefire? If so, please do link a video.

One more thing, it takes around 3 secs for many classes to break the door anyway (particularly Druid himself), does skipping door really such a big deal?

Hitting the gates sends a warning to the enemy team, giving them more time to get back and defend the lord. Flying over the gate would give them significantly less time.

Honestly in pvp its really not much of a change as gates are so weak, but still it could change the flow of the game if two guards/druids are able to rush in. The spots you can jump in on are the big blocks of land outside of mid, for both gates. (Hard to explain, its the big blocks of land that you have to cross a bridge to get too.)

However it is gamebreaking for wvw, and despite it being reported since beta, nothing has happened. Dev focus on pvp expliots has historically been much quicker, so hopefully making them aware that it could hurt esports will prompt action, or bring this issue to their attention if they have missed the wvw posts

There’s also a Guardian on EU jumping with wings on the hut (home red base khylo) roof and just stands there with melees unable to reach him.

Forgot to report but since we are talking about the leap exploit here maybe some dev will see it.

These are mostly hotjoin problems since DH isn’t viable and good teams will outnumber the other because of this. The druid part is a much bigger problem though since druid is a huge force to be reckoned with.
