Guild Wars 2

currently Catapults on the inside of a Tower/Keep/Garrison are the most overpowered thing in WvW

if you have a catapult inside a tower (ground level) and shoot your own door with it you will destroy any melee players as well as any rams within seconds

the AOE damage will travel though the door without any issue

1 Catapult inside = impossible to use rams or melee attacks on the door

Just want to put out there that there is a counter for this. Attack the gate from the outside with your own catapult. Yes it is kind of cheezy that the catapult on the inside effectively stops all melee/rams, but it isn’t like there is no way to work around it.

False, learn to place your rams correctly, if you put them far enough out they won’t get hit by the catapult and will still be able to hit the door.

But really if there’s a catapult defending the door, you really should be building catapults instead of rams.

Uh, just a hint

catapult is the least of your worry.

I put much better things behind doors that dont knock players that I am trying to kill away.

The most overpowered thing is the guy awake at 05:00 AM.

I guess I’m OP then… does that mean i will get the nerf bat soon?

More rams a little further away, or use catapults to take down a wall and not the door. Thanks for the news, but this has been discussed Ad nauseam….

I think he’s making a pun to the so called “nightcapper” fad being complained about all over these forums =]

LOL, man I just get so sick of all the whiny babies out there.

All I’ve seen him do is QQ about night cappers all day…

catapults were not made to shoot your own door =P

What is this heresy you speak?

catapults is hardly overpowered. that is ridiculous and if ur a melee player, the minute u get hit by a cata as u hit the door is the minute u roll back, pull out ur ranged weapon and start shooting the door.

@Eigen

Additionally, the enemy cannot repair a gate getting hit with a catapult, because of the damage and knockback it does through the door.

PLAY WHEN WE SAY SO kitten IT! GET OFF GET OFF GET OFF!

Give me a kitten dedicated server in my kitten region and I happily will xD

I’ve noticed the rams didn’t get destroyed by the cata behind the door And the ram was quite close to the gate i must say. SO we can conclude the cata’s behind doors don’t destroy rams ?

Anet has stated this isn’t intended and they will fix it when they get to it.

Catapults knock people away from the door. Makes it harder to kill them.

5 Engi’s with flamethrowers … now that’s a fun thing to sing Baby Light My Fire to while toasting people at the gate.

1 Catapult on the outside = Wasted siege equipment near the main door whilst there taking out your wall.

took 7 catapults 2 trebs to down a fully upgraded tower just then because we could not use rams because of a catapult inside doing damage thougth the door
