Jumping Puzzle Trolling by your own server mates
I’ve seen this on jade quarry too. Definitely agree, there should be a “no siege” spot where the chest is.
There are 2 fixes for this.
1) remove. Puzzles from WvW completely. Which is my preference.
2) target box. Hit F. Problem solved
Did not see a topic about this so thought I would post it up for review by A.Net.
So the other day I was making my way through the Eternal Battlegrounds jumping puzzle. I figured I would grab some free siege for next week since there is absolutely NOTHING to do in WvW atm (were winning by like 300k boring).
Anyway I get all the way through the puzzle and come up to the chest and to my shock there is a crap ton of siege stacked on it. Was something like 4 Balistae, 2 catapults and a flame ram.
I was actually kinda shocked because it was siege placed by my own server mates. Why would you troll your own server like this? Do the people who do this have no life? At this point people are trying to get the siege for next week when we will need it. Why would you make that hard?
Or maybe its people from HoD or ET who transferred over to troll us since they cannot even get into the Eternal jumping puzzle. Dunno regardless it should be fixed.
Anyway took me like 15-20 mins just to figure out how to open the chest because of the stupid F key prioritizing the siege.
A.Net can you please maybe make it so people cannot place siege on the chest? That’s just lame and a not fun for those that finish the puzzle.
That’s not really as bad as when your server owns the entire of EB and there are people killing players from their own server with flame traps and placing siege in difficult jump spots so you cannot see where you are jumping.
double clicking the chest functions to loot it too. Much easier to do. Also, siege does eventually de-spawn, so as long as people stop actually getting on the siege it will vanish.

That is pretty bad. Have not dealt with that yet. With the free transfers it could be people from the servers that your stomping.
There’s no way to get onto Blackgate at the moment, so it’s not other servers.
It’s just trolls, plain and simple. Best bet is to stand exactly in the middle of the chest. I’ve seen these siege weapons too, but it’s easy to bypass. However, they need to change that chest to once a day per account, or once a day per character. If we keep stomping like this, it’s only going to get easier if I’m getting roughly 70 of each siege type a week. Not to mention some people make a character for that chest and continue the pattern of creating and deleting a toon.
