Guild Wars 2

Is this really how Arrow Carts were intended to be used?

I can’t believe for an instant that ANet wants this to continue. Yet it does.

Most of that was legit. He could have been using the windowed mode screen width manipulation to hit inside the tower.

WvW would be so much more fun without arrow carts at all. It need to be changed to something like how cata/treb work where you charge first depending how far you shoot and if there is roof/wall between path of arrows then that would block arrows. Limit number of arrow carts (not other siege equipment) more and in return give players in siege increased zoom.

This is seriously getting rediculous.

Same instance, different POV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvxxqN7p39M

Same tower, 30 minutes later: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sURXDCQFFzY

this is AC vs AC vs AC.

we can get inside Sm because Blackgate have the place packed for like 20 AC, we can even reach wall, and if we get a zerg to attack Sm, the they boyfriend jade Quarry attack us.

have you actually tried this yourself lately?

Wow, that was some seriously intense zoom hacking. That guy definitely deserves one heck of a ban.

2v1 happens in wvw, get over it bro.

thiagoperne.7340:

The only wrong thing in the video is you reporting the ac guy cuz ur mad lol

And AC thread again? Nah.. its fake

He reported the ac guy because he is exploiting. Without using one of several techniques to significantly increase your field of view, the locations those arrow carts were hitting would have been far more than impossible to target.

This is not a normal camera angle anyone who has used a arrow cart knows.

your from JQ or BG?

This just shows how much of a failure the AC buff was.

It introduced hackers to WvW where there were few to none before.

You should not be able to hit inside the middle of the tower from behind a two story wall.

I don’t see how people think this is okay.

The problem with Arrow Carts, is the very idea of an Arrow Cart. They don’t respect any kind of physic and are ripe for abuse an exploiting because of that.

Also, whoever though that making “limited” camera angles be the restriction on a siege weapon aiming wasn’t thinking about making a robust cheat free game.

I’ve gone to that spot and switched to windowed mode. It doesn’t let you see inside the tower. Go ahead and try it yourself.

This was definitely exploiting.

So maybe the guy deserves a ban or whatever. I stil think are making too much big deal out of nothing, not sure those circles were not even hitting anything on that case.

Seen this happen at EB/Mendon aswell. Server who shall not be named at this time placed a 3-4 AC just outside the gate DOWN the slope and filled the entire tower with arrows. It was impossible to defend against.

Guessing by the end of the month more people will have figure this out and exploit the hell outta it.

It looks legit, In tat situation what u should of done instead of running around and making a video. Is thrown down an AC to counter the AC somwhere where the guy on the ac couldn’t see your Akittenil he was already being hit by it and looked for it.

I want you to really think about your reply for a second. Think hard. Not too hard now.

Do you see what’s wrong with your idea yet?

this happen me last night, just one guy defending that tower vs 10 thirty of fight players

Anti personnel siege should not work like this… in every other game it would require line of sight.

Not sure why anybody thinks arrow carts should be doing so much more damage than a player can…. in every other game the idea of anti-personnel siege is to give you a way to do damage when you think it’s too risky to fight yourself. And, therefore, less risk means less damage?

It’s just a perfect storm of stupid… there’s clearly some siege monkey types who think dropping siege and mashing 1 should mean wins and they’ve got the ear of some of the devs. Very disappointing.

Then they’d have to make changes to LOS, because requiring people to be on the very edge of any wall to hit over it sucks.

Come on with these AC posts ! Anet will never admit they are wrong with the increase damage of AC so it will last some time until they nerf it) , get used to it and try to avoid Wvw and prolly Gw2 for some time until they fix things !

this is mostly a thread about zoom hacks, rather than arrow cart damage. the problem isn’t how much damage the arrow cart’s doing, it’s about the places where the arrow cart is hitting.

Arrow cart buff combined with zoomhacks is really starting to take it’s toll on people, me included. Can’t still believe they would shoot down their own game like this.
The least they could do is reduce the damage and range somewhat until they manage to do something with the zoomhacks.
Or better yet, delete the arrowcarts from the game.
