Guild Wars 2

Currently Maguuma has a treb sitting in the invulnerable zone and cannot be destroyed by us so they are just nailing Garrison repeatedly.

Was this intended to be allowed. I figured out how they did it and I do not want to post it for others to see. If a dev would like to know what i discovered I think it would be a pretty simple code fix to get rid of this ability.

I don’t think it falls under exploit since there is no glitching or anything involved with it.

You can destroy the siege equipment

Siege deployed in the invunerable zones are not flagged as invunerable. Although you may need a treb to kill a treb.

but when it is in the citadel base at the top it is pretty much impossible to get to and they just bomb Garrison day and night.

I hope they adjust range on trebs to require them to be much closer. You should not be able to hit another tower/keep from a treb built in a nearby tower/keep. Force servers to defend their trebs in the open field and give defenders a chance to sortie out to destroy them without having to lay siege.

they arent deployed in the citadel, it just looks like it. If you run around by longview you can get to it by going up the path.

@soba I disagree, everything in pvp shouldnt be forced into melee combat. Having long range elements doing work and having to be dealt with adds to the dynamics on the battlefield and takes away from the zerg vs zerg mentality.

On that subject where you can place siege,can you also fix the terrain exploit jumping into the starting areas by passing the gates and legendary defenders Matt?

Matt in case you are checking this thread I have submitted a bug report for the siege in starter area but since it wasn’t my home world not the best screenshot. So the area you want to check is the cliff that looks over cragtop tower in green borderland. It is in the starter area because enemy players are invuln and the only way to kill the siege is to have a balista or treb set up to defend it since they can drop siege really far back.

Yes, stop the ability to cannon, seiges a keep/tower or castle from another keep/tower or castle. make the range of them have to be alot closer to work. Atm for stonemist, got red with 6 trebs in their keep and tough to removem. then blue with trebs in their towers. so with 10+ trebs on SM, its a pain to keep the walls up when they keep gettin drilled. Sure we killem, but it turns wvw into a job. make it so trebs need to be ont he ground and out of a tower/keep/castles rangs(inside walls, hills etc) and only allow them to be on the ground outside these places for sieging. Sure they can still be put in these places to fend up zergs, but if their there make so they cant dmg other towers/keeps etc. Its not fair and from wat i heard its not intended, so please fix it.

While you are fixing this can you also fix the fact that trebs placed on SW ice of garrison can hit bay keep door/wall and can’t be taken down. For last 2 days JQ has been hitting our keep from garrison with 5-6 trebs.

Apparently Garrison Trebuchet are intended/accepted.

The use of siege equipment from within a keep or tower is a perfectly acceptable tactic. The weakness behind this tactic is that both catapults and trebs are long range weapons that have a minimum range. Once people get close enough to them they can’t attack. If they’re constantly bombing you from afar, get a team together organize a well-thought out attack on the keep that the siege equipment is built in and take the keep away.

Yeah have fun with that. In the last week against HoD we’ve killed probably over a hundred of their trebuchets they’ve tried to build up there. The ways we have to deal with them iskitten They definitely shouldn’t be able to reach the bay walls.
