Guild Wars 2

Bug 1: Flashing walls.

Bug 2: Some keeps people can exploit way points to get into a Keep that has swords on it. My guild saw this one last night and it was rampant – a whole server doing it – at least 10-20 guilds. This should bring the ban hammer down and nothing.

Next 2 aren’t really bugs but really make it difficult to havok

Bug 3; Auto updates even when you stop yaks – please stop this.

Bug 4: Reinforced doors – remove them – they are not in EB so why have them in the other BL’s.

Please fix these things quickly

Bug 1 they have tried to fix one or 2 times i think, without success as you can see.
Bug 2 is created when anet “fixed” the old wp "bug. That opened 3sec inbtween repel events.
Bug 3 is not live yet, upgrades kick in based on a timer, dolyaks just take 5min off it but it will get changed to amount of dolyak reaching it
Bug 4 i dont know what you mean , when structures upgrade they go from “wood” to reinforced to fortify. Always has been like this.

Yeah, the WP bug needs to get fixed. We were defending Undercroft on an enemy BL, just 2 of us, against 10-12 enemies, and were able to hold it because we could just WP right back into the fray. Granted, the enemy wasn’t too smart in their tactics because they didn’t take any shrines, so we had the lava and lava portals in our favor, but the WP should have been contested for us and it wasn’t. I’m sure our enemies weren’t too thrilled. We drove them out twice, just 2 of us, before the new build hit (on Jan. 5) and we were all booted from wvw.

Ban hammer for using a WP? Really? You expect an entire group of players to say, “Well, that would be impolite to use the WP, so let’s go to our spawn and run back from there, like it should be if there were no bugs.” It’s Anet’s fault, not the player’s fault.

Not to mention his own server would be using the bug as well.

If my server was using it, then they should be permabanned to. I think it is a ludicrous attitude that if one server does it, it is OK (especially if it is a known exploit). An exploit is just that – cheating.

Is it an exploit when Anet hasn’t said or done anything about it? Man like 3 months and they haven’t fixed even the little things that are broke.

Don’t know who actually likes PvE maps…but I wish I did. I’m not going to install ESO a third time just to see if its gotten any better tho. Maybe give planetside 2 another try..daybreak games? Hehe what’s that. Poor SoE down the tubes

I’m pretty sure that doesn’t qualify as an exploit in the way Anet defines exploits.

Example: our server held Undercroft on another server’s bl, and two of us decided to defend while a group of about 15-20 came to take it back. Their first mistake was not taking the shrines to deny us the fire portals and the safety of standing in the lava. We had fun with defensive siege before they broke inner, and before they could get to the lord, we set up a balista at the supply dump you run by to get to the lord. Their zerg ignored us, ran past to the lord, and began to fight. One of us manned the balista, the other stood in the lava at times, and we focused one target at a time and killed several attackers. They finally decided, after losing half their group to us and the lord, that maybe we should be focused and killed. However, the WP remained uncontested, which I have to point out is not our fault. One player attacking a guard or hitting a gate would have contested the WP for another 3 minutes. So after we were killed and the WP was still available, were we to say, “Well, they got us! It would be unfair to WP and continue to defend the keep, so let’s respawn at our WP in the lower corner and hope we can run back in time to continue fighting!” That’s exactly what YOU would do, right?

In the heat of the moment (pardon the Undercroft pun), I’m sure 100% pf WvW players would use the uncontested WP in Undercroft to continue defending. Which we did, and wiped every single attacker. Not only once, but twice. On their THIRD attempt, they were smart enough to take the shrines to deny us the fire portals and the safety of the lava. We were then hit with a new build, and we all got dumped to LA.

The best we could get before HoT was reinforced gates but fortified walls. The gates in EB are now fortified as well but not invulnerable against autoattacks like on the BL, I think – I honestly lost track about what is a bug and what is a feature (yes, that was a pun).

I’m not that much into wvw anymore, so I don’t know all bugs – but it’s usually like this: The WP on at least your BL garri is up no matter what – doesn’t matter if anyone contests it; it’s always open. The WPs at bay and hills however are always closed – but if you hold hills or bay on an enemy borderland you can port.
If you hold your keep on EB which is being attacked it will be contested, no split second in between the timer anymore as that has been a bug for at last 2 years, not a feature.

ETA: Honestly, anet roll back wvw to what it has been 1,5 years ago with the old balance, old stability and join us to see how we used to fight. The split second to port was an important strategical thing which has been taken away from us – a lot of what has been possible in wvw was strategical; I remember one enemy thief hiding in SM (which belonged to us) and killing the workers so it won’t upgrade – all of what has been added with HoT is brainless stuff and wvw has been anything but brainless – once upon a time. And that’s what I loved about it.

Well said, Jana. Your ETA above is what we’d love to see.

I tried to contest the WP by hitting a gate and a guard, and nope- WP stayed uncontested. When our Rampart was hit, the WP became contested, but apparently the always open WP seems to be just in Undercroft (or Fire Keep as its sometimes called).
