Q:
normally if anyone complained about this id tell them to stealth run it… but having just witnessed 15+ baruch bay players (mostly BORN/WJJ) camping in the arena with multiple arrow carts, necros and rangers aoe spamming (preventing dodge roll evading them whilst invis) i am horribly annoyed/positively fuming.
can we expect to see something done about this (such as – no seige/no direct pvp (control effects/traps only)/jumping puzzle queues(to keep players at roughly even numbers))?
i love that JP (and since ive started working towards a legendary; i need badges – JP is the quickest most reliable way to obtain them for me; as i often miss bags by my feet as im running around), the dark room is great, and fearing/pulling/pushing enemies off ledges is hilarious, i love the random (balanced) pvp you can encounter on your way through, i love finding passive ‘invaders’ and running through the puzzle with them (and watching them like a hawk incase they do anything fishy >.>), i love foiling ori node camping theives with aoes before mining, but this unbalanced mass camping cant be what AN had in mind when it was designed? right?
It’s fine. If they camp the JP with 15 people, that’s 15 people less to fight against on the battlefield.

i suppose thats true
arborstone has +370
deolation has +220
baruch has +105
still not much comfort, im on desolation; we’re getting slammed by arborstone in actual wvw, and cant complete the puzzle because baruch is camping it =[, im almost tempted to transfer to baruchs (despite not being able to speak spanish) just so i can do the puzzle (i probably wont though… been on deso since headstart… dont want to leave it "/)
if your getting slammed by them maybe you all shouldnt be in the JP anyways?!
PvP happened in a PvP area.
Siege should be blocked in the puzzle. And maybe disable Mesmer portals in the puzzle. (being able to port people up at will reinforces the idea of camping it. People should have to run the puzzle if they want the rewards)
Really that’s all that needs to be done. There are plenty of jumping puzzles that aren’t in a pvp zone. This one has the added challenge/fun of pvp.
