I’ve seen today some guys from Maguuma server building trebuches..catapults and whatnot in a zone that simply cannot be reached. (pointed out the zone). From what i understood someone tested this out on our side..and it’s at the limit of the invulnereable zone.
Problems:
1. They can’t be hit by anything (don’t include sieges because them having them first, means ours get destroyed fast)
2. They can shoot BOTH the tower next to them AND the garrison walls from a safespot.
My question..is this exploit actually intended? Are servers supposed to have an “iWin” tiket for both the tower AND the garrison?
There are high chances it works on the other side also (with trebs)….so potentially 2 towers and a garrison for free.
If this is actually intended….explain why would i ever be interested in defending/upgrading or even in some cases attacking those towers/garrison? In case we attack they not only have garrison/tower protection but now invulnerable trebuches/catapults and arrowcarts? Smart.
I do Agree with you that it is a bad design. But.. the problem is not the siege weapons being there as we can take them out with long range attacks and our siege weapons on of our own…. The problem is that the enemies can just stand in their “Safe Zone” and attack us with we take theirs out. This means we cannot Thin their numbers where they can thin ours out.. Crystal desert had a stand still for 4hrs just because of that we could defend but we couldn’t take out the siege due to gate of madness all bunching up just at the invulnerable zone. which we couldn’t do anything about. This seems Too much an unfair advantage. I’m all for siege weapons being built at “Hard to reach places” just not when we can’t fight back.
and how they build them there? there must be a way how to get there and destroy them… and at the other hand, if a weapon can shoot at a place, you can shoot with another one from that place back… fact that its hard to get there or something like that is just a strategic point isnt?
They build them there, from the safezone where no one can get to. If u try to go all around u will see either a gate that u can’t pass or some “legendary defender” npc guards that 1 hit kill u. Also remember that all players that sit a few pixes behind are invulnerable (by game design). So even if we do get in that area by some hacks…a group of invulnerable defenders will take us down.
Sure..try building siege weapons to counter an already built one. It’s so easy to target sieges that are in building stage…by the time it finishes it has some damage on it. The fact it has damage on it vs a siege that is at full..guess which wins.
Seriously..all u do is defend an exploit by definition. Considering u are giving me advice on how to “get” there and destroy it clearly shows me u are not aware of how that zone even works. I suggest u go outside that marked zone…and try for yourself to go to that invulnerable hill.
The entire WvW zones got huge problems like this. Treb/catapults from unreachable safezones that applies immunity to damage for the players. But also the concept of shooting between keeps/towers. The borderland maps are specially messed up.
if its in some place which is reachable only from respawn which is guarded by legendary defender and players have there immunity to dmg, then its probably bug and i was wrong but in picture you have posted, it seems to be a fair place…
