Guild Wars 2

Get rid of being able to go inside any objective with walls whilst in combat.

It’d solve so much of the mobility problems the game suffers right now, so annoying chasing a dragonhunter with renewed focus across the map only for him to get into a tower or keep for free.
(Don’t even get me started on Daredevil’s…)

It’s not the most viable solution but it’s a start.

(P.s. personal preference, get rid of the downed state completely in WvW? Cheers).

(p.p.s. I don’t forum that much).

So how would you suggest 1 defender get in a friendly tower where the gate is guarded and being attacked by 40 offense?

Your solution, may work for your playstyle, but it kills other people’s playstyle.

Channeling into a keep, applying a debuff when entering an objective that prevents abusing the portals.
Again, Not ideal solutions but open to suggestions.

No. Your issue is not well thought out.

If it takes you a journey across the map to kill a guardian that goes through a portal…then do you see where I am going here?

Even if you aren’t chasing across the map. Don’t fight near objective portals expecting people to not use them. That is what they’re there for.

Regardless, the game mode is not sold as Spvp (where such portals barely exist). As someone stated, this isn’t an issue that applies to everyone. I would say a step further, that this is not an issue for WvW when given this mission statement of WvW:

“Join World vs. World (WvW) for an epic PvP experience full of cunning strategy, earthshaking sieges, and pitched battles between hundreds of players. In this massive war, three huge armies—each representing their world—battle for control of the castles and keeps, raid enemy supply caravans, and clash in open-field battles on five massive maps in week-long matches and seasonal tournaments.”

So expect people to play differently within WvW than you want, since it does allow for that kind of variety. Irony is this statement is dated in some regards…like tournaments (for good reason).
