Omega golems were to be feared in the game before you could buy them or make them so cheaply. Now they are just impossible to defend against without huge number of players defending. They are being overused and have thrown the balance of WvW off. Before it would take skill to get into a fully upgraded keep if you had say 10 defenders in it. Now you just need a 30 man zerge and a few omega golems. If a server has little manpower during the off peak hours they don’t stand a chance. Just bring in some omega golems clear their siege in 30 seconds and it is game over for the defenders. The omegas can hit any wall siege and kill most AC’s in 3 hits and superior AC’s in 4 hits. Cannons would be an option but it the attackers have any inteligence they would kill the cannons before they bring the omegas in. We need to figure out a way to balance the game again. Make it more expensive to build them or lessen their rockets range so they can hit well place wall siege. Need help figuring it out.

The Omegas are not that cheap anymore and Alpha Golem BP price is climbing steadily. Trust me the problem will eventually go away once people have dumped all the excess they piled up during the time the BPs were untradeable.

While they will rise in price, it’s still something to be worried about with general inflation of the money supply.

When the WvWvW players are done with The Living Farm, they’ll stock up on golem blueprints. The maps are already too small for 50+ man zergs, throw mass stealth, portals and cheap siege in there and there is a problem.

Thanks for replying, I don’t believe price will fix the problem entirely but it is a start. Omegas rockets are just so dam OP, They can clear a towers wall defenses, then just stand back and rocket down a gate or wall. The only time I have been able to stop them is when the attackers are morons, which happens sometimes, or when we could get enough numbers to push and kill them. Maybe there is a tactic out their I am not aware of that allows you to defend against this problems, if there is, someone please share. Always willing to learn new skills lol.

Omegas are supposed to be the ultimate siege weapon. I don’t think nerfing them would be a solution. They just need to be less of them. They either need to be more costly to build or limit the amount that can be on the map at one time.

Omegas shouldn’t be allowed to move through mesmer portals.
