Guild Wars 2

So many types of siege and the asurans didn’t think of a ladder? come on, time to step it up a bit, which is why I have come up with the idea of a ladder.

Here’s some features of it

• takes 10 supply to complete
• only one ladder can be used on an objective at a time ( or two ladders for keeps and SM)
• only one person can climb the ladder before the ladder becomes unusable for anyone else (ladder can be reused by the person who placed it
• can be destroyed instantly by an enemy even while someone’s climbing it
• Edit: gives a debuff to the player who placed the ladder which prevents portals from being used until the player is defeated

what’s so great about it? well…

• much better use for solo roamers since it only requires 10 supply
• requires a great amount of skill to kill a tower lord/ keep lord solo
• requires a constant watch
• discourages zerg play since solo players don’t need to destroy gates/ walls
• discourages bunkers (keeps and towers filled up superior siege that require a golem rush to take/ really good planning with a huge blob)

So, good idea, or big no no?

No. Would make it far too easy for a mesmer to portal a force in without putting swords up.

bad idea probably cause mesmers

I have a mesmer as my second main character and I forgot about that! xD
time for some editing.

• requires a great amount of skill to kill a tower lord/ keep lord solo

between guard defense/offense and wvw infusions… you can replace skill with a gold and time investment.

or even just duoing tower lords, or trioing a keep lord is enough to split his focus enough to allow kitten y nubs to succeed.

i can already solo tower lords on my engi… and i know its even easier on guardians. im not sure giving players an easy way in is a very good idea. i know i or a guard w/ experience lord soling are not the norm, but you could replace with a pair of decent roamers geared in exotics for the same effect.

i think for this to be a viable idea, you would need to place a 1+ hour cd on the ability to climb a new ladder, so you dont get people wandering around soloing/duoing a bunch of towers or keeps. especially in low tiers, where often times we may be limited to having 1-2 scouts for an entire map of our territory. allowing players to bypass the only defenses we can have and take anything weve put a lot of time and gold into with very little chance to save it is a bad idea. we already complain about ram mastery making it really hard to defend, how is this idea not like ram mastery on steroids?

There is a very limited number of roamers across servers, the ladder idea would increase the amount of roamers, but not by too much. It would also give an advantage to servers with lower population since they wouldn’t need a zerg to take towers/keeps.

Nice idea but i’d say a big no to it as mesmers can climb in to easily and portal ppl in, or imagine that thief climbing in contesting keeps from inside/ kill workers to stall upgrades etc.
