Guild Wars 2

As a last ditch effort to hold onto our keep I went up to a vista and waited till any enemy came to me. I then used the vista so it would make me invulnerable as I watched the cutscene. But it did not work. As I was watching the cutscene I saw my character knocked back off the top and died from falling. So…why wasn’t the invulnerability function working?

“As a last ditch effort to hold onto our keep I went up to a vista and waited till any enemy came to me. I then used the vista so it would make me invulnerable…”

Maybe to keep people from using vistas in WvW to hold on to keeps by becoming invulnerable?

It was never intended as such.

This is why you can see what’s happening around you when they show off the vista, lol.

I lol’d

It used to work that when you viewed a vista in wvw it would make you invul until the cutscene was over. Now I guess not? It still does in PVE, I know that for sure.

i think you know that it was not intended that way in WvW and would be sort of an exploit there…

i dont blame you for trying… but how can you seriously ask in the forums about this being a bug?

I’m pretty sure that there was a mention long ago that invulnerability got removed in WvW to prevent that exact behaviour. You’re supposed to defend your keep, instead of using cheap tricks like that.

I also lol’ed………

Now that was freaking hilarious.

I’m not even sure how viewing a vista would prevent your keep from flipping.

Look at the bright side OP, you got to watch yourself get slaughtered in an epic, cinematic fashion.

In game AND on the forums!

Oh snap that zerg is going to kill us……… Hurry to da vista!

Thanks for this. Still chuckling…

I now want to view a cutscene with a zerg coming up from below, knocking my character into infinity. Internet, make this happen!

When you think you seen it all…

Is there a vista high up enough that DOESN’T involve jumping and a zerg would actually go?

ABL gari might work, but you wouldn’t die from the interior vista and you might hit water from the other.

Sounds like a top priority map enhancement for the temporary WvW dev.

I really hope this post was meant as a joke…

That’s called chicken kitten cheating…..

It isn’t a bug…..
I have also reported a few other ways to get invulnerability in wvw, naturally, they are disabled.

Idk why WvW still have vistas anyway when the map completion is no longer a thing.

Do like the southern desert bl ones. Especially when enemies has sieged south towers, quite funny to see location of each siege so countering becomes very easy.

Now if only the guy had been on the enemy side, ghosted through the outer wall exploit, leaped across to the inner wall using that bug/exploit, and THEN tried using the vista to keep the keep contested and be invuln, that would have been epic.

As it is, it’s just sad. Did make me laugh though.

Blue EBG keep, most likely. It’s high enough to kill from the fall and the steps up to it are easy enough that the average player would be able to reach it if they have ‘Jump’ keybinded.
