Guild Wars 2

So it seems there’s a number of spots players can stand in the WvW areas to glitch into invulnerability (outside of the starting areas, of course). Is this something ArenaNet is aware of and working to fix? Abuse of the bug seems pretty rampant (given I’ve seen it happen a couple times in each of the WvW areas), and it’s game breaking in the extreme for roaming WvW game play (especially when, say, fighting a ranger).

It would be good to know if ArenaNet is indeed not aware of these exploitable areas — if so I’ll put the trouble into documenting them as I run across them so they can be eliminated.

You might need to give more examples? outside of staying within the determined area around your world spawn, i’ve never come across players becoming invuln save through skills

In fact, using any type of exploit in WvW typically leads to your own team reporting you

There are a few spots where you can stand to gain invulnerability, yeah. They’re usually located near the spawn points (the two I’m thinking of are near the SW camp in Borderlands and one near the Veteran Warg). However, if a player has basically managed to run back to those points, I consider it as they’ve basically escaped back to safety in their safezone, just like those players in EotM who stand on the invulnerable bridges near their spawns while attacking. (If you’re dumb enough to keep attacking them with the “invulnerable” notifications popping up, you deserve what you get.) Just leave and get on with whatever else you were doing.

If you’re talking about invulnerable points somewhere far away from a player’s safezone, then yes, those are exploits that should be reported to ANet. Send an e-mail to exploits@arena.net with details about the exploit and how it can be replicated.

I wouldn’t say this was an exploit, they have been there since the launch of the game,

The most noticeable ones are close the WP’s of the enemy

Lower south east corner near the lake camp, just over the hill where the enemy can stand there is a safe zone, and on the lower South West camp there is also a spot just over the hill,

Both locations don’t offer any advantage to the enemy, sure its annoying they can run back and hug the wall ultra tight to stop taking damage, but ive never really seen this being done, if I had to guess, id say the OP was chasing a random roaming player who ran back to this location,

Either way its clearly just the out radius of the safe zone that cuts threw the terrain at a strange location.
