Guild Wars 2

What are the weirdest and craziest glitches you have seen in wvw? Two of my favorites involve the desert bl when the desert bl was first created you could use the enemy waypoints. The other one is in the two southern spawn sights there is a rock behind one of the portals that instant kills you :P

Getting pulled so high up into the sky that the game kills you for leaving map boundaries.

T3 Garri under attack by OJs on inner the second I load into the map for the day. Being a normal occurance, I proceed to NW side of garri and notice there are no walls at all…a bit weird, but I walk through a non existent outter gate anyway and stroll past a blob of enemies through an inner wall that is indestructible… Attempt to help build a sup ac on stairs, can’t because the stairs aren’t there. Walk out NE garri past OJs unscathed again, and stand there for a few seconds watching a waterfall of enemies falling down on me…I’m still alive, I’m not in combat, but not able to touch any of them, do they even know I’m here? I relog. Commander has pushed them out and all walls and stairs on garri are there again.

Being 5 years into the game and getting pulled into walls/rocks/the ground on the nightly.

Not much of a glitch but watching people hack the orb around the borderlands maps was pretty funny to watch.

One time I lagged super hard in a massive fight… I don’t know how I did not dc, but I was like a ghost for a solid 3-4min. I could see people around me fight but I did not take dmg and I could not use any abilities/dodge roll.

I was sure I will dc sooner or later so I was spamming ele staff fire 4, dodge rolls and lightning flash, among other skills.

Well… I did not dc… and my lag went away.. then all the abilities I tried to use while lagging started casting at the same time… I ended up flying half way across the map… all the way into an enemy T2 tower…

Haha those glitches are just minor things…

The most amusing glitch that has occured in WvW was when the map join system completely broke down at one reset. Instead of joining your server, you joined a random server. It was chaos, lol. And yet, so much fun for one brief moment. We got to fight alongside enemies against friends.

Not too long ago there was a time when WvW decided to crash every tick, the entire border. We wanted a tower dangnabbit. We fought in the same lord room like 10 times, trying to race the timer before WvW crashed, lol. Such good times on TS, most laughs I have heard in a good time.

Then of course we had Golem Day… no not Golem Week haha. The siege system broke, no one could place ACs, rams, catas etc, only golems could be built. No choice then lol. Golem trains everywhere. It was really fun and illustrated so well how boring static siege was.

Or that time when Anet kittened up the Mesmer fall trait. Instead of it doing like… 100 damage… they accidentally added a couple of zeros. Mesmers just jumped from the walls and killed entire zergs lol.

Not sure if this a good thing to tell here, but if you are in your home borderland, you can teleport from watercamp to enemy spawn simply by jumping in that waterfall.

Edit; Dawdler’s post just reminded me on what we called the World Peace glitch, everyone was “friendly” and we could port eachother to our spawn dancing with the “enemies”.

I don’t think a lot of these are “glitches” but I’d like to share them anyway.

A couple years ago when I was on IoJ there was an FA Thief that was hacking. Sometimes he was invisible (not stealthed, attacking while stealthed), sometimes he teleported, sometimes he had super speed, sometimes he was flying, etc. At one point I was laughing so hard I decided not to report him because he used a tonic to turn himself in to a bird and was flying around with it.

A speed hacking Ranger in EOTM that was darting through zergs like The Flash. This guy would blink in, attack people then hurry away. At one point he tried to attack me while I was on my Warrior and I block / reflected his Rapid Fire + subsequent attacks (because he was idiotic enough to keep attacking). He managed to kill himself with reflects and I kitten you not he whispered me and told me I was an @sshole.

When Necro’s Signet Of Vampirism could damage gates / When Guardians symbols could damage gates. People would just spam those things and get through the gates in .5 seconds.

During the golem event the golems got a special damage bonus that players learned how to exploit. Most people were running around with it and doing insane damage. I’ll admit I did do it as well at one point just to experience it (as I figured they wouldn’t ban everyone who was doing it because it was A LOT of people) and I was hitting people for 20k+ Life Blasts on my Necro. I think at one point I hit someone for 40k or something with Lich Form.

The very brief period where Smokescale was bugged and Smoke Assault did absurdly high damage. Had a lot of fun watching my pet 1vX.

During HoT beta when Berserker Gunflame hit twice. Oh god I remember 1 shotting so many people. If you didn’t experience it, just imagine getting hit by that attack twice at the same time and you can see why no one would survive it.

EDIT: Picture enclosed of the damage I was doing with the siege golem buff.

Dawdler.8521:

Instead of joining your server, you joined a random server.

Some people get this glitch every 2 months :-)

Golem duplicity bug. When you just builded one and got in with multiple people at the very same time, everyone would get a copy. Was probably the idea of golem week just before HoT launch to get rid of these bugged blueprints.

Edit; typos.

Gate nommer has face jammed so tight up against gate he squishes through. Particularly bad on old NW tower.

Next up: EU only world peace day. Everyone was green Only happened in EU and was hilarious in map chat. Had party in SM.

As a Mesmer, took a portal as I was launched/floated. Got sent straight up from the ground level of green EB keep past the vista and gravity did the rest.

Also not a.glitch but still love using thief SB and shadows step to teleport golems around.

On Alpine it’s possible to enter Garrison, NWT, Bay outer (as an invader), Hills and SET (as an invader).

On EBG it’s possible to enter 6 towers, get out of/underneath the map, “visit” Blue and Green spawns, enter Veloka (as Red), and get into Lowlands outer.

On DBL it’s possible to enter both Fire and Air keeps and reach their respective lords. You can also enter O’del Academy as well as Rampart outer.

Guess this was more of a bug, when warriors gs4 kept multiplying in damage every time it hit another target , was fun taking out zergs with one skill

Here are some memorable bugs in the past:

BUG #1: Couple years ago in PvE I was spam-clicking on a Box of Fun and it somehow bugged out in that my whole character when having weapons unsheathed/combat ready mode would be completely semi-transparent akin to when an ally thief stealths but you can still see their 3D model. I had the legendary pistol and shield equipped which means that all those particle effects including the skins rendered as this semi-transparent swath of checkered boxes floating all over the place. It was crazy…

…Now, here’s the monumentally messed up part. Logging out, dying on my own accord be it from NPCs or jumping to my death, way-pointing, using a tonic, environmental objects, switching instances or simply ENTERING PvP/WvW didn’t fix the issue. I was stuck like that on my engi for almost 2 days. In that time I went into WvW and asked a few enemies if they could see me, a lot said they could only see my nameplate at a distance and laughed when I unsheathed weapons because of all the messed up checkered boxes everywhere.

It FINALLY went away when I threw myself into a massive zerg fight and got CC’d/thrown around a lot eventually dying.

Funny thing is I managed to replicate the bug only once after that initial shenanigan.

BUG #2: Golem week. Yepp ladies. That awful week where the most obnoxiously OP bugs existed and whole guilds were abusing it… when regular players could obtain the golem buff outside of it and do insane amounts of damage. Not only that but the golem duplicate bug where I think 2 people try to enter it but instead the system is like kitten it and makes 2 golems out of 1. Let’s not forget the grand finale – being able to pick up anywhere around 45+ supply. Lord knows how that one worked but when I was in a golem, exited then picked up supply I suddenly had a total of 40+ while I can’t remember the exact number I definitely remember solo building that cata in one sitting.

BUG #3: So this one time in band camp… which happened recently, a few months ago – we were about to engage an enemy zerg in EBG north SMC. I was running with the frontline almost on top of the commander and all of a sudden my character fell through the terrain for zero reason and died. THE END. Great story right? I know. Majestic.

BUG #4 HoT release date or around thereafter. One skill girlscouts – Gunflame. And boy was it bugged as hell hitting TWICE which is basically 1HKO RIP, sonny jim.

Not really a ‘game breaking’ glitch, but back in the first year of GW2, roaming WvW and dying a lot, like I always did, I found myself respawning alive and still laying on the ground as if dead, I could move, and attack, but I was static. It was kind of hilarious.

There was one time i got a weird lag. I can fight and chat perfectly but somehow SM destructible like wall and gate didn’t load. And I can just walk thru. (Anyway, That time SM was under my server control.)

And few day ago I pull someone off the wall at SWT Desert BL. Somehow he got launched to the sky and killed by gravity.

While I was on DH I pulled someone with the f1 Through the cat spot wall at hills. I was laughing so hard I ended up letting the dude run away back to his Zerg lol

few days ago, DH f1 was glitching players when pulled against a gate, i was having so much fun merging players on the gate XD

Best glitch ever was the “Descent Into Madness” bug that had the falling damage cause a massive damage Chaos Storm (>15k a tick).

People ran around jumping down onto zergs and wiping the 20-40 man zergs with a group of 3 mesmers.
