Guild Wars 2

So I just thought I’d see what other people thought about this incredibly prevalent issue in WvW. For anyone who doesn’t know it involves using third party software to extend your viewing distance way farther out than what’s possible through normal in-game means, meaning you can drop AoE way over walls and destroy siege that you should have never been able to touch.

Not calling someone out but FA tends to use this, well constantly (just watched them use this for the umpteenth time to cover the walls and courtyards of Durios and QL with arrow fire destroying all siege inside) and it’s really getting old.

I know generally speaking ArenaNet doesn’t care about WvW or anything that happens there but this is a game breaking issue that ANet needs to comment on. If they need evidence all they need to do is go into any WvW match where a tower or keep is being taken and there’s a good chance someone is zoom hacking.

So yea, Anet at least acknowledge this is a issue please.

Since the camera changes EVERYONE can now do it without programs or multiple monitors. It sucks when a large zerg attacks a tower with few defenders as all they do is build an ac outside gate or wall and destroy everything inside.

Add LOS , invalid path to acs or close the gaps between the gates so players don’t mouse through them to fire skills off. You’ve done it to just about every blink skill in this game. Example: I can’t even blink up steps in my own tower because invalid path.

Annoying cheap tactic it is but its not only acs that do it. Engies toss nades over gates, ele do same thing with some of their skills and even seen guardian lines inside our towers.

Why is it always yaks bend who come on here to complain? They do exactly the same kitten yet cry when others do it. It’s getting old.

While the field of view changes made it easier you still need to be at certain spots to get los over a tower/keep wall which zoomhackers don’t need so they can drop there Akittenerally anywhere they want, which gives them an advantage over other players.

edit: why the flock is the abreviation for arrow cart censored…

It’s funny that someone on yak’s bend complains about hacks and exploits. I’ve been playing gw2 for 3 years and I can say I’ve seen more types of hack from yb than from any other server. Have you seen a warrior that can use skills from other professions, such as lightning flash and blink? As if warrior can’t nike enough or something. Have you seen an engineer that gets stuck under the map and has unlimited attack range and contests garrison and bay right at the exact moment timer goes off like a bot? Have you seen a zerg exploiting into your citadel and and post pictures on their forum and everyone says it’s cool? Those are just to name a few. Zoom hack? Yak’s bend does it countless times everyday and still complains?

It’s siege yaks bend 101. If you don’t you’ll have 10 ACs on you in 15 seconds. YB guys use way too much Siege defense/even open field offense :s
If you haven’t played against YB its really the most unbelievable thing to see.

Just as annexample from today. We were attacking from north gate on YB. I could see 9 ACs over the wall. After we broke throw I cleared outer wall down to south gate and there were 6-7 more ACs. Then breaking inner gate there were 6 ACs in fron of lord’s room entrance (3 on each side). Thats not counting trebs :o

I should also add the amount of supply traps YB uses. There for awhile it seemed like scouts sat in camps waiting to upgrade right when ppl go to take the camp. Why so serious YB?

You complain about siege they have in their keep?
“How dare they to defend!!!”

But I’m in with the AC in front of enemy objective’s complaint, though I’mfairly sure that the first camera view thing was what made that possible -and to be honest; it has been bad even before that.

I should move to YB, I love siege. I have a full stack of sup acs somewhere.

This is not a hack, it is just FoV slider.
