Guild Wars 2

This may be in the forums somewhere else but can you please shorten the distance of trebs fireing? It seems that you can be 60 miles away and the Trebs still hit’s your occupied spot.
Also how can I be say 40 yards from an enemy and when they spot me, zoom they at my heals in a split second. Is there a speed buff or an exploit going around?

Trebs are meant to be long range artillery to bombard your keep. If you want them to stop, go out there and kill it, or have trebs of your own setup in the keep to counter theirs.

dont you ever watch the punkin chunkers on tv. Those treb’s fire longer range than some modern sniper rifles do…

Arrow carts do too much damage. Catapults knock me down. balastia kill me if I stand still. Please fix.

I like them being such long range, because it sets a nice tactical flavor to certain things. Remember, catapults exist too, with less cost of silver and Supply, but with a shorter range. Players are rewarded with spending more money on something with more strategic importance.

Speed boosts and teleportations are limited-range, and no it’s not an exploit to be able to spot your enemy and chase them down, cripple/chill/immobilize them, and kill them. That’s just your own ignorance (ignorance is not stupidity, so this is not an insult) of the game hampering you. You should stay further back if you plan to retreat (and bring a speed buff of your own, like Swiftness, which almost all professions can get easily).

There are only 2 spots in the game that trebuchet placement is a little obnoxious – hoomeworld citadel on south cliff. Where ranged AOE from below is virtually impossible to hit, and equally displaced – using a ball there, you cant target the treb, and the ball just hits the rock.

I think this is probably the only treb placement spot on map thats an actual bear to deal with. All other placements provide a challenge, and are appreciated.
