Guild Wars 2

I spend some time on the goons forum and read about the server they are on and while browsing I came accross some info that I found funny. They have found a bug and are teaching SFD to use it to break the game in their favor. World vs World has a player cap, however for some reason when players stack ontop of each other not only does it break the load times for the game, but it allows them hide people from the queue system, so they end up with 100 or so more people than any other group. I managed to get a screenshot of them performing this exact bug. I am just really frustrated with the stat of hacking and bugs in world vs world. Please get to this soon.

From software development aspect, this claim makes no sense whatsoever, but I’m looking forward to a DEV comment on it.

Honestly I don’t know how it works, but you can clearly see them doing it. I am a computer science major and the only thing I can figure is that the function for counting players is bugging out and not reading players that are standing on the exact same coordinates… The map limit isn’t a hard limit, it is a variable limit given by a function…

No amount of verbal/vocal coordination would allow them to stand, or actually move on the exact same coordinates without each one of them running a bot designed for that, so this being a real possibility can be easily ruled out.

As for the screenshot, it really only shows a bunch of people clustered together... during a fight. This alone hardly supports a theory of being able to overcome the cap limit. Additionally, they all stand pretty far from a single specific coordinate.

Also, this would be a pretty big number of people literally asking for a perm ban in the most dumbest way ever possible to achieve, so i personally, at this moment, think you probably just got trolled.

Still in case there is any truth to it, did you contact exploits@arena.net?

I don’t know you are just a player like me, however I don’t think they would be doing this for no reason if it was just trolling. We caught them doing this in their garrison when taking down the walls with 6 siege golems… they had a force of about 20 attacking a supply camp 15-20 at their tower defending, and still managed this number at garrison. Not to mention the somethingawful forum post about it which is a paid forum so honestly I don’t think its trolling at all. They must have figured something out that you or I do not know because there is no way they had that many more people than us, especially when we were queue capped.

A friend of mine brought up a good point, using the mesmer portal skill is a really good way to stack a bunch of people on 1 exact spot.
