Guild Wars 2

so it seems arena net is having a lot of trouble coming up with good ideas for traps in WvW. i made this thread to maybe help give them some ideas so we don’t end up with horrible broken traps that destroy balance further in our beloved WvW.

trip wire trap- very similar to the thiefs skill except it has no target limit. after triggering any enemy who crosses it for the next 5-10 seconds gets knocked down. (place in front of a door and when they break it half the zerg trips and is easier for siege to aoe)

plague trap- causes the person or persons who trigger it to get an “infected” debuff that does minor damage for a short duration. anyone who stands next to an infected person contracts the debuff.

signal trap- small trap that gives enemies in an aoe a “spotted” debuff. spotted enemies show up on the map for everyone to see.

just off the top of my head. please give your ideas in the comments below.

Respawn Trap – Triggering the trap opens up a mesmer veil for 5 seconds that teleports enemy players back to spawn.

Blobby Trap

Damages all players in range 1200 radius. 500 damage per player in 1200 radius. Applies cripples and pops orange swords.

Can reduce into 300 damage per player if too OP.
Takes 20 seconds to set up.

game need only to fixed the alert ( swords ) system and i really need an alert trap …. nothing more . i don’t want to kill my enemies with a trap , i want to know where they are moving and how many are …

Yes i would like to have “spycam” trap that you can setup and you get a “ping” or it open a small window when someone move next to it so you can see enemy’s.

More would be nice if you cod have a “trap” that was like Mesmer portal with open a portal to lord in supply camp, tower, keep, SM, only works for 1 player.
