Guild Wars 2

I haven’t bothered with skyhammer yet, but skillfull knockbacks, ok i can partially accept that, but like many have mentioned, the biggest problem are all the pulls which are in NO way skillful, all people do is stealth when glass is about to disappear and pull you when they’re standing on the edge.

However in my opinion the simplest fix for that issue, is make people FLY to where the enemy is standing. Eg if someone is on the edge of a “hole” and pulls you, you FLY over the hole and land DIRECTLY ON TOP of the enemy, so also on the edge and not 100 range in front of him which is where the hole is.

That way you can leave the glass platforms in the game and people need to knockback people in them if they wanna be a KB/pull cheeser. Because knockbacks aren’t always 100% accurate while pulls give you a 100% accuracy.

yessssssssssssss

10/10, forum necro OP, ANet plz nerf

Have to say it’s a shame seeing development spent on this map. It should be left as is and dropped to hotjoin only. Development saved for stuff that really needs it, i.e. new maps or game modes.

it must have took some digging to find this, but totally worth it, bravo!
so did this “hotfix” ever actually happen?
and if so does that mean there was a point were skyhammer was even more intolerable?
:O

You got my hopes up thinking there were actually gonna do something about skyhammer -.-

The fix actually did happen, it restructured the side points and hammer platform a bit – they really were even worse before it, since random knockbacks were almost guaranteed to get kills then, whereas now at least a tiny, tiny bit of positional awareness is required when running a knockback build.

Pulls, however – those oh-so-fun pulls – were barely affected. Only certain knockbacks/launches (like Stomp and Tornado) got properly weakened by it.

And here I thought we were actually getting some changes! XD

For the record, I actually DO like Skyhammer. I find the need to be positionally aware to avoid knockoff-kills to be a refreshing change. However, I agree that the Skyhammer itself is overpowered and needs some adjusting. Something as simple as making the laser blasts dodgeable might do the trick.

Josh, really, you guys are beating a dead horse here and it just feels like you’re just slapping as many band aids as possible in order to justify keeping a map that clearly Anet love but the majority of players really don’t. It’s just clutching at straws, you guys really should have known better when you designed the only map in the game that dictates how you create your build and the CC heavy style of play.

try to KB a good guardian from clocktower and tell me if you dont need to skillfully aim.

There’s a clocktower on Skyhammer? Wow, they really did make changes….

Delete your stupid trash map, just lost game on this garbage map just because i forgot to change one of my utility skills to pull.
