About “Reduced the health and defense bonuses provided by reinforced and fortified walls and gates at towers.” , how much were exactly reduced? Are we talking here 5-10% or 25+%?

Ok you lowered the damage of the laser event by 25%. I think it needed like 50%, but maybe you add another 25% in the future.

The SE tower is not the only tower that get’s his wall+oil destroyed. I can confirm it happened to SW and NE tower too.

I’m happily surprised that this patch happened, thank you for all the effort put into it. Maybe we get the other issues fixed too like:

• Superior arrow carts center the camera on the cart instead on the person like the rest of the siege does
• NW tower doesn’t his mortar in the correct spot
• Champions hold their current location after capture instead of resetting it in the middle of the lord room
• The East keep doesn’t get dolyaks from the South camps and there 3 caravan events right next to the south gate
• After capturing a sentry and the marked tag wares off and you decide to attack a keep/tower, you get marked again for 5 minutes. Happened to me when attacking Undercroft from the north
• Immense lag during the laser event, etc, etc.

I’ve seen you mention this before in your post, and I tried to test it out to see what you mean but am not having the same results. Sup ACs seem to operate in exactly the same way as regular ACs for me anyhow.

New bug found…

Attacked a few towers in the desert borderland last night. Walls were clickable & could be breached.

However, they don’t display a description on what type of wall that we’re attacking…it does display the health bar of the wall…so at least that helps for now.

Paper vs Reinforced.

This impacts scouting intel for home team, but I guess you can reference supply of tower to tell if the wall is probably reinforced.

That’s a boatload of changes, but I still feel the most important thing that ANet should consider changing:

1) Base Map Mechanic – How Match-Ups are created & adjusted to prevent/reduce stale & un-fair matches from chronically occurring.

2) Implement a system to allow Players to create Communities around Time Zones to spread out server populations, but not restrict players in What they pick & Who they can play with.

There is a solution.

Interesting. I will test it tonight and see if they changed it.

You don’t need a description. There are 2 ways to find out the type of wall: you click the objective icon to see the upgrades, or you check the texture (wood = no upgrade, stone = reinforced, metal = fortified)

Last night the walls at the SWT were rendering both paper and reinforced versions.

Tested it and it’s still the same issue. When you grab any siege you become the center of the screen and then you can pan the camera to see stuff around you. When you grab a superior arrow cart, the cart becomes the center of the screen. This is a very serious issue when dealing with placing carts further away from the walls so defend from proxy catapults and also not get damaged by meteor shower. Right now I don’t use any superior arrow carts for proxy catas because the line of sight is limited.

Try to defend Necropolis with sup.carts placed right at the edge of the wall. You won’t see any of the ground base wall because of the faulty camera.

I’ll go try necropolis today.

Check my necropolis guide and build a superior cart on the spots that I mention and see how limited the camera angle is – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5juUMG-834U&index=1&list=PLduHbZPbtobHjIvdoZtd_99Y2ZFJpbFAx

You can also see in the video that when I use the normal carts I grab them as far as possible as it lets me and the camera centers on me.
