Guild Wars 2

Lets make things interesting. Add a new WvW talent where you can turn enemy yaks into “Trap Yaks”. You would have to take the Yak down to set the trap and you can’t do it to your own. After the trap is set, the Yak will finish his path as normal. Once in the fort, the trap springs and you have a fun time.

How to counter these Yaks will be up to the community. I propose to see if a Yak is trapped, you must have someone inspect it, and if it is, the Yak turns hostile till hostiles players leave the area.

What the traps do can vary and be dependent on, again, what the community wants. I suggest:

“Explosive Yak” – Deals damage to certain things within a fortification. (What it damages can be what is decided on. Wall/Gate damage, Siege, and even Supplies if so)

“Shadow Yak” – This clever Yak will take it right from under their noses! (Again, depends on what you guys would want. Could steal supplies or destroy the supplies. Stealing them would probably require something else to be done afterwards, maybe.)

“Plague Yak” – This Yak will die within the enemy walls, allowing it to pass on the sickness to those within. (Debuff and/or straight damage to anyone in the walls for a period of time.)

“Experimental Yak” – Will momentarily allow those outside to enter the fortifications, ally or not. (This one I would need to have some sort of hold back on it. Like maybe a 5min charge time once it is inside, to allow people to counter it and not make it OP. Could also limit the amount of people that can travel through it before it dispereses. Allowing the enemy to waste it to counter. Dunno, just an idea)

“Hydrogen Bomb Yak” – Kills everything within the walls with a new experimental explosive! (This is a joke. I just wanted to add it to the list for kittens and gigs, so don’t get worked up about it.)

Would actually force people to defend their keeps and Yaks, two birds with one stone! Would also add a whole new dynamic to WvW and give more incentive to split up to both counter and control Yaks, something that doesn’t really happen. Not only would it increase the drive to do such things, it sure would be fun. The amount of WvW ranks per slot and acquisition list would be up to you guys.

What do you think? Lets not be all “AIN’T GONNA BE NO CHANGING MY WVW YOU DIRT EATING PICKLE RHINO!” Try to be a bit open minded here guys, and please be sure to read everything before getting kitten like “HYDRO BOMB IS kittenING STUPID!” Um, you didn’t read the entire post then

If your wanting something like this to be implemented, put a “+” in the post to show whether you do and a “-” if you don’t. Helps with vague posts and such.

I know better idea. Let’s make trap called trojan jak. You can but 25 players inside it and when enemy is close you can jump out and kill them.

Hey, sounds like fun. Morer ideas for the “Trap Yak” make it that more interesting. Though I wouldn’t allow them to enter the fort, just kinda hide in it then get booted once at the gate.

Dude, I love this idea. Yak bomb them, instead of portal bombing

Treb could shoot trojan yaks inside tower. That would be awesome too.

I read the entire post and I think it’s a dumb idea simply because the last thing we need in WvW is more cute diversions instead of better game content and better PvP.

I thank you for reading it, but I do ask you explain a bit more. Right now the main problem is poppulation/zerg issues. This would give the incentive to not do such. Since if you just blob an area, your gonna get Yak bombed.

Also, define your definition of content. From what I see, this would be content. It would also better the PvP since it would require each server to have better strategies and be able to split your forces correctly for the situation.

I understand that the main reason people are going to hate this idea is that they just hate change, even when they ask for it. I’m not trying to be mean though, so I don’t won’t ya to take it that way, but I would ask of you to do the same thing to me. Using the terms “stupid” and sarcastic ones as “cute” are not constructive or friendly in any shape or form, unless you live somewhere where insulting someone is complimenting them, which is a bit of an oxymoron.

So, do explain a bit more in detail if you would. Help clear things up.

I prefer the idea of the trapped golem :
Explose golem the next time someone enter, convert all HP on AoE damage (equally between all players like a 5khp golem will do 100 dmg/person against a 500 zerg).

But for yak i can think of someone hiding inside (just put a anti-portal debuff for like 1 min).

Yeah, anything with getting people inside would have to be looked at more in depth. A debuff is not a bad idea though.

Thy would add it as a trap for 5 laurels + 250 badges lol

I like the idea.

You’ll need to remove that again as petition threads are not allowed on the forums.
(Does that mean my support for your idea breaches forum rules? Or is it ok because I used text and not simply ‘+’? Or… Heck, I don’t know, I just think it’s a fun idea.)

Use it to show what your opinion is on “Want this to happen” and “Don’t”. Helps keep things clear for those vague posts. I will edit it to better explain that though
