Guild Wars 2

Game over. Good job everyone. See you next week.

This is an FYI for the guild leader of SF in sbi. You guys have members who are trying to glitch into keeps. I saw a few incidents of the glitching by SF members at Langor keep in EB.

Actually I can tell you exactly what happened, I was there. There were a handful of us standing flush against the tower wall next to the door when a treb shell from your main keep hit us and the knockback effect pushed us inside the wall of the tower. At that point three of us were stuck inside the wall until we eventually managed to make it out using various skills; I, a mesmer, had to use my Main hand sword skill #3 on the keep door and swap with the clone which then put me inside the keep.

So there was no hacking, it was just a rare bug. Obviously they will want to get that fixed, but since the conditions for it to manifest require you to be directly next to a tower wall and then get hit by your enemies siege from the opposite side, it shouldn’t be very abuse-able.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Can you please clarify whether this was Shining Force [SF], Select Few [sF], or Strike Force [SF]?

We take allegations like these very seriously. If we find a member of our guild has exploited, rest assured they will be removed. To help our investigation can you please gather any screenshots or evidence collected so that we can identify the offending player? If you happened to right click their name and select report you would have their account id – that would be very helpful.

Thanks again for helping out.

Here is an screenshot. Unfortunately, I was not able to get the account id. From the screenshot it looks like it’s from the guild Shining Force. I didn’t even know there were two guilds with the name until now.

Ah, that makes sense. I’ve gotten stuck in walls before too, so I know that feeling lol.

First time, I’ve heard of that bug. I hope they get it fixed then.

I hear I’ve been missing some good fights this week. Darn real life obligations.

Did the players you saw inside do anything that would affect the score (i.e. try to kill lord), or does their behavior match the explanation given above?

I replied earlier in this post about server players numbers being down from launch, so I took a straw pole of the top 10 guilds on BG by population and every single one of them said the same thing. Log ins by active members has decreased anywhere from 20-40% in their player base.

So what that means is people still have their toons on the server hence being “FULL”.. but they are not logging in any more to play the game. Sorry it took me a while to compile these numbers from high pop guilds. SO at least for BG theres a bit of our answer as to what da F is going on…. 20-40% ish are not loggin on any more. Kinda sucks but hey we will be back im sure.. good fights this week had fun.

Ferris what are you on about.? Back up that claim with some kind of proof please. I have not heard of “top 10” guilds with less online. There is one unnamed guild that had some issues with mass bans, while others have left the game. However I see those that remain as strong as ever, and field the same numbers as they did 2-3 weeks ago.

Also, server full status is dictated entirely by players actively logged in. This is why you can still transfer to any server as long as you do it during certain hours when the population is temporarily lower.

Thanks for clearing up the glitch stuff. Strike Force [SF] doesn’t usually roll EB unless we can all hop in with an instant queue.

Sorry smokee I should have posted the time frames in which i was talking about, most of the original BG guilds that had a high population from launch, like BBB,NULL, my guild PC even Urge and Knt said they arent seeing quite as many people loggin in or doing wvw as opposed to when the game launched. obviously losing RQ sucked as well. No excuses i just talked to a few officers in these guilds that have well over 300 -400 accounts in their ranks and in general the consensus was the same, playing time in general is down along with wvw time. its not a comparison I was making that happened in the last 3 weeks. I should have explained that. I didnt really talk to Thai alliance at all so them i dont know, and i know those guys are on pretty late into the AM server time. Theres no way for me to prove to that people are playing less time so that’s why i just asked around and was simply reporting what i found. We know that theres gaps in coverage for WVW for sure on BG just need more peeps to play wvw.
