Guild Wars 2

I just went for a visit into crab toss and the update to the pvp system seems to have had some interesting effects on the activity. It seems that traits, sigils and virtues are working in crab toss.

The first issue was that I was able to do bleeding on hit (because of the warrior trait) and poison on hit (because of the sigil) and the nice one … sigil of fire seems to kill people on trigger. This meant that people carrying the crab were being killed because of my hits. Also the guardian virtues work so they receive aegis.

This lead to another issue that the icon that shows when you’re carrying the crab was stuck on the player that was killed even though they no longer had the crab.

I’m thinking its not meant to be like this … or … crab toss has gotten much more competitive.

Hope this helps =)

Yeah, we’ve mentioned this bug before. Just have to hope that ANet will fix it soon. It’s making a mockery of the Activities.

On the bright side, this also makes it a lot easier to work on your Crab Toss wins achievement. If you get the bug where the game thinks you’re carrying the crab when you’re not (seems to happen if you’re killed while carrying the crab), the game will put you onto the same team as the crab carrier. As long as the player with the winning score is on “your team” when the match ends, you’ll get the rewards and credit towards the achievement as if you’d won, even if your score is, like, 3 while the winning player is on 300.
