Guild Wars 2

This Aoeing and using catapults to blast people off doors needs to quit. Its a grafix Issue that people exploit. they set up Catapults and Blaistas on a keep door inside get LOS with their char and use that to keep people off when the balista and catapult shoots at nothing. This is why there is arrow carts for indirect LOS in keeps.

There is no problem with catapulting through a door from the inside of a point. You can place rams at max distance and render the catapult useless. I look at catapults as wasted supply when placed as backside of door defense. There are much better ways to spend the supply and badges.

Something on this topic I’ve been curious about: I recently noticed that you can build an arrow cart behind the door of some towers and blind-fire it through the door by clicking on where the ground would be visible if the door was open. Is that considered an exploit? It only seems to work for some of the towers.

No, it is not an exploit.

No exploit the catapult round hits the back of the door and the shockwave splashes through, this would damage the door if it wasn’t a friendly door, the same way I can sit on wall and launch cata rounds at my teamates, they take 0 damage but everyone else around them gets hit and knocked back.

doesn’t take aoe to throw a door. just a very strong arm.

I have yet to see a ballista shoot “through” a door or wall still.

IJS they might be able to shoot through the “opening” but I doubt the “gate” itself.

Funny how you DON’T mention the AE that the attackers are doing, making it more or less impossible for the defenders to repair the door.

Be careful what you wish for…

thats the point AOE’s SHOULD NOT go threw a DOOR ..

Through, not threw. You are not doing your case any favours but constantly saying threw.

If they changed this, they would have to make higher ground actually mean something for non-rangers.

At the same time, they should fix so you cant cast AEs on the people defending on the walls, since that is more or less the same mechanics…

Yet again, be carefull what you wish for…

How about they make it so there’s no use for any class, no use for any siege, and call it WvW.

Honestly it’s what all these threads are starting to sound like anymore.
