Guild Wars 2

We’ve all seen it in EOTM at some point. someone’s bought sentries from observatory and placed them in spots that make them next to impossible to attack, whether that’s glitching them under bridges or in terrain, to inside walls that have then been repaired or spots accessible only via blink glitching.

This offers an uncounterable method to observe the enemy team, and has been a long term issue in eotm since… well… forever.

I realise EOTM is considered “baby” WvW, but this is still an issue that greatly affects the people that regularly make use of the map. Will anything be done about this?

Wrong place to post it, better go to https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2 and post there, cos devs avoid WvW subforum as much as possible Also we wait ages for a lot of fixes like stucking in a wall and still…nothing so this might get fixed in 2020 or something like that

There are no hacks/exploits/glitches in this game, They are called special unintended features which will never get fixed. Just look at mid air immob issue.

I see this as simply.. Strategically placing these turrets. I’ve only encountered 1-2 basically un-killable sentry turrets for the time I’ve spent playing EOTM, which is a while.

Placing them under bridges: as long as there’s ledges to land on then Mesmer ports.
Placing them under terrain: same scenario, as long as there’s footing or something to land on below it then Mesmer ports.
Placing them in a broken wall and it resets with the so called turret in there: (never seen this happen before but it seems you described it that way?) Destroy the wall and you can destroy the sentry turret inside.. Possibly AoE the area.

Sentry turret too far away? It’s called a ranger if you need one. 1.5k range. Completely obliterates turrets that have been placed in no melee range.

Turret ‘hidden’ in/under terrain? I’d say 80% of those sneaky ones can be dealt with by AoEs.

My only problem is turrets that have been placed by no other means than pure, malevolent hacking. I wanted to find out why this turret kept picking up our Zerg on the radar in the snow area: it was under rocky terrain at a junction or whatever that place is where the 3 wooden bridges meet near Bell. I jumped off the side, hit CTRL and saw it placed directly under the entire rock formation. There’s no way anyone could have placed that unless there was ground underneath them. Jeeze. The other crazy one I saw was inside terrain. Like. Literally inside clumps of grass bricks near the aetherblades and no AoEs could kill it. Crazy.
