Guild Wars 2

We should be able to make small barriers anywhere on the map. They we be about 4 players wide and your able to jump over them but take damage for a kinda of razor wire i think this could be a good way to slow down and damage enemy zergs.

Oh yes. More NPC. Let’s just remove WvW and allow people to kill each other in PvE.

That’s like calling a ram or golem an NPC. He’s suggesting new types of strategic traps – inanimate objects – not scripted enemies that walk around and attack you.

Signed!! I’m in!!

I like the idea of small barriers / barricades to be used to protect a forward base of fire but the mobility in the game play really hinders any static position.

I am also for using the entire PVE area as a multi faction battlefield.

I would love to see more traps in the game in general.

For example:

Caltrop Trap – Hits as many players as supply trap (same mechanic), but applies 8 secs of cripple and 1-2 stacks of bleed.

Concussion Trap – Hits same area/player number as supply trap, knocks down all affected players and applies 2-3 stacks of confusion.

Fire Trap – Hits for 5k base AOE damage and applies burning.

Smoke Field Trap – Applies Blindness and Weakness

A Barrier would be just another type of a trap. It would be destructible, have an expiration timer etc.

I would really love to see a multitude of traps in the game. This would make defense and hold-outs much more interesting then just using trebs and arrowcarts.

I suggested this months ago but people did not seem to like it then. I think it would be great addition though, and would open up a world of strategic opportunities.

Imagine being able to wall off the entire northern part of your home bl? The enemy would actually have to deploy (and defend) siege in the open field.

Good idea , field works traps have been a feature of battles since pre Roman times and would add flavor .As people learnt how to use tactical benefits too.

As for the PvE thing ..you may think great most in PvE do not there wishes win as the majority .Unfortunately the same logic in WvW does not work where wvwplayers are the majority the wishes of pve seem to overule .Maybe one day Anet will approach both equally .
