Guild Wars 2

Anet, you changed it so that, unlike early beta, you cant knock people off walls as you said it was not fun.

Yet you let people pull others off walls…..what the hell is the difference?

There are a couple fo people in the JP in EB that just sit there, pulling people off. How is that any different from using knockbacks?

Can we get some consistency? Either allow neither or allow both.

pulling of walls is dumb as hell

I’m pretty sure knocking people off works exactly like pulling people off. It depends on what the edge is like and how far they are. You can totally knock people off walls. Hell, even the NPC lord has knocked me off at Lake and Briar towers.

Eh what? Of course you can knock people off walls. It just happen to be a little waisthigh wall on most of them that can stop it (the same when you pull).

I knocked 5 people off the hills wall with elementalist tornado they fell for like 5 seconds before splatting.

If their is no raised edge on the wall, you can pull, punt and fear people over, if there is a raised edge they all fail. Seems perfectly consistent.

The best part is you don’t even have to have LoS to Mesmer pull ppl off. There were mesmers doing it in Garrison on reset night through the floors.

I think pulls should be fixed in the actual BL’s and EB. But left the way they are for the JP’s. Camping the JP’s with Mesmer pull sounds like the most fun ever. I may have to dust mine off and give it a whirl.

You must had been one of those guys that I pulled off the wall into our zerg. No one told you to be Mr. Hero and try to aoe a zerg of 50. There is a reason there was edges, make use of it.

every time I use hammer 4 the person stops mid flight when they hit the edge of the wall and drops the the to ground on top of it, rather than flying over the edge.

it used to work properly in beta, then Anet said they thought it was not fun to be knocked off a wall….but left pulling people off walls in.

I banish people every day (most fun thing to do with a hammer) on towers and cliffs. If there is no edge on the wall they fall off just fine…

If you’re defending, don’t stand on the edge of the wall for too long or you will risk getting pulled off by a mesmer. Or you can use stability, which also cancels the knockback btw… Maybe that’s why they didn’t fall off.

I’m guessing the OP never watched this:

Although annoying, pulling/knockbacks are part of the game. Just be ready for it with your stun breaks/stability and make a run back into the tower. What is irking the heck out of me is being pulled towards the edge of the wall when I am out of LoS. This has happened a few times and I don’t recall this happening prior to the patch. I can’t even shoot down without being on the lip yet I get pulled while standing on the far back of the wall out of LoS. Stupid.

I think the fact that most ranged weapons can’t hit enemies from behind the Tower/Keep wall ledge is more annoying. The Rangers and Veteran Archers have no problem hitting from behind the ledge, but apparently all my Scepter/Staff/Greatsword projectiles fire from below my waist and get “Obstructed”. XD

Rant aside, if you are stupid enough to jump up on the ledge to wand me, without Stability, I will pull you off that ledge to meet the wrath of the Zerg Blob.

ok, it seams its just me……though I swear every time I try to punt someone off a wall/cliff/whatever, it does not work.

Nm,.

Always check that stability, immunity and stun breakers are off cooldown before climbing onto the lip of a wall.

I really wish they’d fix walls so defenders could shoot straight down. Or give us some rocks to drop. Defence needs buffing.

Hahah – boulders / rocks to throw at enimies. Reminds me of two scenes – the ewoks in the small valley on a log totally owning a bunch of storm troopers, and Army of darkness undead assault where knights were throwing huge rocks and the skeles running away “lets get the kitten out of here”.

But it would be cool to have “stone” piles where we can drop / fling them from the ramparts!

Back on topic – I think launch works but KB may not – try this with rifle butt or stomp – rifle butt shouldn’t toss a defender off the ramparts unless they are already jumping – stomp will work regardless – of course if they have stability neither will have an effect – but stability will not stop the launch effect midair.
