There is currently a guild camping the EBG puzzle in my server’s match (Crystal Desert.) While normally it’s not too big of a deal and you just grab some extra people to fight your way through, they’re doing it in such a way that makes it impossible for any force to push past them.

The room with the monster pit and the chandeliers, just after the dark room, is the one that is being camped. They have built a ballista and an arrow cart at the top of the room so that they can rain death on anyone trying to jump up it. There’s no way to fight them as you cannot target the weapons from so far down below. You cannot get up to them either, as being in combat shortens your jumps, and you’ll be dead long before you can make it up there either way.

To make it even worse, they have two mesmers using Illusionary Berserker, which is currently bugged and does not need line of sight to attack somebody.

This is just… not fun…

The only way to get past them is to wait until they go away. Siege weapons have no place in the puzzle. The mesmer bug will get fixed at some point, but right now it’s insanely OP for a guild to build one arrow cart and block two entire servers from completing the puzzle.
