Guild Wars 2

Hi all!

I used to be a weekend warrior of WvW, but these days I barely do much of anything beyond a pvp game and pve mining for dailies.

My inspiration was diverted to another online game, one in which I just managed to purchase the most amazing toy.. an ATTACK HELICOPTER.

After a fun night of flying my friends around the map, I realized that this might be an exciting addition to WvW.

Why? Well, we already have the Charr “helicopters.” We will soon see the gliders, so the tech is (roughly) potentially in scope. Imagine air support for the zerg… and the AA guns from SoD blazing away.

That would definitely ignite a spark in my Tyrian soul.

Now, I’m not saying that “this game is dead, must have air mounts!”.. GW2 is still awesome. But, I don’t recall seeing anyone suggesting it previously, and I had such an amazing experience in the other game, imagining it in the game I have a deeper love for seems … just.. awesome.

:)

Imagine being able to fly right into every keep and tower! What a fun and exciting change that would be!

Why sarcasm? If you can build AA guns for defense.

Perhaps put a little thought in before being a grumpy pants?

So you want to fly right into SMC Lords room, blow all the defenders out with the rotor wash, land and chop the Lords head off with the blades? Then we should also have keep upgrades with SAM batteries with auto tracking radar. I’ll prob get infracted again.

So you would either need to have someone sitting in a tower at all times to man guns, or make the guns automatic and powerful enough to take out any ship approaching which would make the ships pointless…. It feels like you didn’t really think this idea through before posting.

What’s next? Battle dinosaurs to activate a super weapon that will simultaneously fire lasers at all of the enemies objectives?

I think he was referring to the fact that, in some cases, this idea already exists in WvW, lol.

Usually gets a very violent reaction

sorry dude thats too hardcore for casual players.

Aion has this for a long time with force field up when gate is up.

A zeppelin would be nice. Drop bombs on enemy keeps. Fire at enemy zeppelins. But first you have to build the zeppelin with supplies from a supply camp.

Mechanical dino copters

Anet wouldnt know what to do with all the money this would make. The economy would crash cause ppl wouldnt show up to work. Neglected children would starve. Wars would end, finaly world peace.

treb the AA then send in the airships. force fields and many other things are options too.

an EotM style map with much more space between islands, less bridges and airships would be amazing. build airships with supply, load up your guild group and fly to the enemy islands. midair boarding, crashes, guild fleets, so much potential for amazing moments.

Aa cannon for free to every tower what 1 shot copters and im ok with this. Otherwise its just a legal fly hack

in before rocket launcher is added as a new siege mechanic

Arent engies getting this soon (practically)?

It could be possible to allow the gliders, with sth like “fall down when struck by an enemy attack”. The standart archers would stop you from flying into a siege then.

The disatvantage for closed range fighters wouldn´t be too much I guess, since you can´t shoot down from up there.

This mechanic would make the homelands of everyone stronger, since defenders can fly down from the citadel, while the attackers need to climb up somewhere.

Don´t know how to balance that precisely, but it would be an awesome feature for WvW indeed.

err adding flying to wvw…..very very bad idea. it will again cause a special meta and tons of trolling and hacking. i think we gotta be very careful with those things. wvw is a special game mode. people here will find exploits and abuse systems that are actually made to support the underdog…look at siege razor. he even helps a 60 m an zerg vs 10 defenders for example…..
there is so many new things coming to wvw, 1 of them being a massive map with a ton of pve events, that i think wvw is getting to a point where its not going to be wvw anymore but pve map…

allowing gliders will push any class that has a weak range out of the wvw meta as ranged players simply can abuse such systems. i hope we get to test this with real wvw people first before anet throws all this into our face expecting it to be awesome!

And space ships, add those. And satelites for better scouting, wormholes, also possible…
Or perhaps leave stupid things outside wvw?

bigger and larger walls moar movable siege!!!

Flying already is in WvW just not used too often and not by everyone, you can just google for it and check youtube videos, go from there if you wanna fly. No need to add what is already there.

lol. Well while I’m against the idea for myriad reasons, what you propose is actually against the TOS, also known by the community as ‘hacking’. In other words, doing so is grounds to have your account banned.

Nice to see some rationale discourse amongst the sarcasm as I return to this thread, post Guild Halls announcements.

Charr copters, bikes… so much to dig through, even WP mentioned he’d talk about it in his video but I must have totally missed it. Where are the details about this?

Airstrikes.

Maybe these things will be NPC controlled, but it’s a first step.

Can you imagine it ? 2 full zoneblobs in SM,Lagging like crazy ( as always ) but now you’re also being bombarded by airships why you’re unable to use any skills…sounds like great fun.

Also if siege on walls is also easy to clear or maintain depending on population ofc, now will be even hard for servers out of t1 and t2?

Balistas might have the vertical range to hit the flying npc ship, it must have a counter ;\

Even balistas on top of SM sites can be ac’ed down from the outter wall so it would be quid pro quo?
We already have ac’s clearing entire siege of a keep… at this point wonder why even have walls ehehe….

Nothing is more fun that carpet bombing a squad of sarcastic grumpypants!

That last line made me smile..when I realised that’s pretty much what they have brought in with the new map middle fight for the right to blast your opponents doors down (pve ftw!).
