Guild Wars 2

I think it would be great if we organized a collection of people who destroy our own teams golems whenever you find them unattended.

I do not do it now because I do not want to troll my own server, but I figure if I know people are doing it on my opponent teams as well, it’s just a collection of people making the game a better place.

Anyone else interested?

Sometimes when randoms build them yeah we have the urge to walk them off a cliff ^^

Why would random person’s golems be different then the others?

Just a guess, but I believe he’s alluding to the fact that someone throws something down people build it. A golem is 100 supply. The commanders have to keep note of how much supply is around them to know what they can pull off. If someone randomly throws down a golem that’s supply you might have to go get somewhere else and needlessly holding off what you were trying to attempt.

Again, this is just a guess.

yep thats what i meant sorry that i wasnt specific

And our server has golem rushes like every few hours… so we sometimes get sick of it.

If you play for JQ or SOR feel free to go ahead and do it because I had a few golems suicided tonight to JQs zerg. In all seriousness though, it did happen and it was my gold that got burnt and I don’t think its very cool that anyone would troll this way. Decent players build good things, bads burn things down. Such is life.

Sos you were on our server you know we have a guy that does that too.

Yeah I’ve seen it from all 3 servers. Just trying to point out, seems these players feel like they are “getting revenge” on another server. But what they are really doing is griefing players who put time and effort into building up their server. Healthy competition is great, but if someone feels the need to exploit the system and all they are bringing to the game is negativity its probably time for them to leave the game and do something more productive in life.

I think if your server can afford to build golem after golem then the time/cost of building them is of negligible importance to that server and thus the impact upon their removal is also negligible.

This idea is not about trolling, it is about making the game a better game. If you are an underdog in a match with outmanned buff, fair enough golem away, I wont mess with them.

Outside of that I find the whole idea of golems offensive. The entire premise of a golem rush is to avoid a defense… why should we be encouraging that? Are we not all here to fight it out and have a good time? PvDooring an objective that you rushed to avoid a defense seems boring and please do not go on about the ‘difficulty’ of executing a golem rush. If you zergs cannot follow simple commands and use mesmer portals properly, then maybe you do not deserve an objective in the first place.

I was told on this forum that this is “normal” to spy on other servers and tell your opponent servers what’s is about to happen.

So… do I approve this problem with golems? Why not? It is war. If people want to join a server and want to ruin their fun by wasting everything they make in plain sight, I don’t see any problem. Just grab the golem as soon as it is finish and run straight into enemy camp. That person should not even be banned or reported. Hey it is war according to someone on this forum.
Of course, Arenet could fix that by adding an icon to all the structures that person drop, and making sure (any structure he created) can be retake.

I’m pretty sure you can already retake something you placed by simply walking up and activating it. Haven’t done it myself, but supposedly the person who took it is booted out and you get in.

Doesn’t work with golems Grimwolf. Which is a flawed system. I’ve seen people jump in golems and Waypoint to other BL – instant kill of Golem …. sorry if your trolls find this out via me, but it’s common sense.

I’ve had 5 golems – along time ago, taken by a troll that way.

So what exactly do you intend to accomplish by doing this?

Reduce the number of golem rushes in the game.

You’d best hope you never face the Tarnished Coast, Niim.
Blasphemy against our most high Golem God will be met with the only acceptable reaction… Immediate destruction.

All hail and all glory to the Lord of War and Rocket Fists! Praise the Superiority of Steel!

Blasphemers must be executed, wherever they dwell! Be warned, those who dare conspire with Niim.. The Church of the Golem God [COG] will find you wherever you are, and our inquisitors are not known for their… Delicate touch.

TC is a great example of why golems need to be destroyed every time you find one. Significant overuse and an inherent lack of interest by the server in fighting, no offense to a few notable exceptions on the server.

Oh Niim, wait till they tell you that level 5 golem mastery sprouts 5 mini-golems to attack players/gates/walls, every 60 seconds.

At least golem rushes force the opponents to go fight you, unlike boring hour long trebuchet battles.

I bet if they released a wvw map where the only goal was to murder people all day it would be more popular than the maps with siege.

Level 10 causes them to split into two every time you kill one.

With a tiny warning sign that says “DO NOT FEED AFTER MIDNIGHT!” ?

Whoever built the golem should have the option to eject someone if they took the golem if they wish. Yes, it should probably be a simple they’re out, you’re in thing… but some nice eject animations would be interesting…

That would remove the opportunity for us to destroy those golems so I would be against this change.
