Guild Wars 2

Should just simply remove arrow carts from the game, that or make them more expensive. Then WvW would be a ton more enjoyable. WvW is still lots of fun but arrow carts are really the only type of siege that really has become frustrating. Especially with the whole arrow carts above the lord room trick players pull. Makes pushing up the ramp near impossible.

There are so many counters available though. Frankly, arrow carts are useless — if you know one little ‘exploit’: AE retaliation.

Get your favorite guardians or engineers to apply mass retaliation and then run into the lord room, and, oh, stand there. Against a mass of people all using retaliation, arrow carts will explode in literally 2 volleys.

Done properly, this will easily render arrow carts (and most other forms of AE) useless.

Alternatively, you can do mass stealth + mass speed to bypass the lord room and run up the ramp.

Or follow the advice of Sun Tzu. If your enemy is holed up in a secure position, leave him there and take everything else.

Arrow carts are pretty easy to take care of, I don’t see the issue.

Arrowcarts are very vulnerable. Unless you stand still and do nothing to counter them.

easy to kill and keep warfare is supposed to be sieges. Standing there shooting your bow at the keep door is supposed to be pretty ineffective, get a balista or arrowcart yourself and actually contribute.

Arrow carts are very manageable when you apply something even much more overpowered to fight them. Namely Retaliation.

I love using arrow carts…but I hate for them to be used against me

Stop mindless zerging, start doing organised moves. Bashing gate with your fist is not how WvW should be played. Siege weapons were introduced for a very specific reason to actualy adress this issue. And actualy getting past Castle Lord is child easy. I did my portal teleport Mesmer just to counter this. You just basicaly put portal behind enemy. All you need is a thief with Refugee so he can cast invisibility on you, then you pop your own and after that you teleport further, pop portal and your whole zerg is right at the enemy’s face. Sure you may be killed in the process but if you pull this off there’s nothing enemy can do. Just stop mindless zerging and it will be alot easier.
