Guild Wars 2

Use siege disablers on the cata until you managed to nuke it with aoe damage. It might not be “realistic” but there are easy counters.

Kind of how we can just cut off any cancerous body parts until it stops coming back?

I don’t see the point in a solution that cannot be used in reality. I also don’t see how it qualifies as an ‘easy counter’ if it can’t even pass ‘realistic’ muster.

The kind of unrealistic stuff that allows you to respawn when you’re dead. Didn’t happen in the middle ages but works well in games.

1191 A.D., battle of Arsuf
“-Sire! The saracens are bringing in longbows!
-Endeed. So hasten and see to our shield generators, you oaf!
-Aye, m’lord! "

Well, I don’t have a problem with point-blank-catas – that is, as long as other siege weapons and the line-of-sights make it possible to kill said catas. It’s all about balance.

So when you used the word realistic you weren’t referring to how impossible it was to use the solution you suggested but to how it wouldn’t work in real life?

I see. My bad.

I have no problem with games not resembling life. I do have a problem with ‘solutions’ that cannot practically be carried out. I don’t know if maybe you’re from T8 or some other boondocks where standing on the edge of a wall trying to gun down a catapult is remotely reasonable, but let me tell you—that is a literal impossibility in the WvW I play in.

I’m all for solutions that have a chance of working, though.

An entire thread in wich ppl complain about they cant easly destroy proxy catas by only using sieges…
Have you tried to drop on proxy catas from wall and destroy them? Its wvw not silverwaste, you can do some pvp sometimes….

Thank you, made me laugh. People sometimes forget it’s a pvp mode, and are worried about dying in game. Diablers, hard CC and damage are an option…slow them down until help arrives. A good descriptive callout in /t or your server’s TS can do wonders also.

This is only possible when servers have even populations every hour of every day of the week. If you will note, my concern in the opening post stems from the lack of such of paradisaical situation. Additionally, this encourages the blob meta since you must bring a blob to even slow a blob down. Rather than letting blob be one viable strategy, it makes blob the only viable strategy.

Also, there’s the small bit about wanting to interact with other players in a meaningful way that is currently impossible. I especially hate the places where it is actually impossible to hit the catas from on top of the walls due to obstructions…considering making a post of pictures to show some of this tomfoolery

On a separate note, we’re halfway through the workweek and don’t have a response, which is disheartening.

You bring up a good point about population. Though that’s another problem altogether.

And are you surprised there hasn’t been a response? Ask this same question on Reddit and you’d probably get an answer on there before here. It really seems like the company doesn’t want to interact with it’s customers. Like they’ll catch a contagious disease through this forum if they make more than one post a month. If anything in business you want your customers to respect you and know that they’re being heard. Half of the threads like these could be answered with a quick yes or no, or just a “I’ll get an answer for you on that.” Something is better than nothing. It’s so easy to read and answer forums nowadays with smartphones and tablets ect, it’s not like it would take much kittening effort.

No response on Reddit either. Haven’t seen heads or tails of any red all week.
