Guild Wars 2

Torch (400 baubles) and a ranged weapon.

most of those deaths are lag. if you play with a friend they will tell you they saw you walk off something into a spike while you see yourself jumping. but I have seen one completely random death… a friend and I were waiting near a checkpoint standing perfectly still waiting for another friend to catch up. we decided to pass the time by digging up baubles then almost being pushed into spikes by a bunny… at one point my friend just dropped dead. no spikes and no bunny. was a good laugh =)

I was able to escape after over an hour… worth it to not have to re-run that

the bunnies just sit there.

the first one happened to me twice.. but I was able to escape by stowing my bombs (which acts as a stun breaker)

I’m still stuck in the log if anyone has any advice on how to escape… digging up bunnies doesn’t work sadly… they spawn on other platforms and just sit there looking cute (till I club them of course)

so far I’ve found two fun bugs for zone 2 on tribulation mode… that force you to restart from the beginning of the level

For the screenshot I’m just stuck in the log right before the end…

would love for a suicide button… been trapped in the log for the bell at the end of world 2 zone 2 on tribulation mode as well as getting trapped in a knock back loop by the rocks near the start

Ina competitive environment theres a reason vabbi is at the bottom. Clue – its not because you’re good.

Vabbi is at the bottom because they lost a large amount of players to free server transfers when they were beaten. which is what you are proposing we do, you do not understand WvW at all, you don’t understand what allowing people to transfer for free caused. If our players from FoW transferred to another server because we were losing it would simply add to the problem. Keep running around in your zergs on the higher tiers, I’ll stay loyal to the server I chose and continue to have fun “losing” and killing the zerglings. You keep thinking that having a high rating makes you good, and I’ll keep thinking we’re better for winning what battles we do with lesser numbers.

We have not always been out-manned. We used to be able to fight against servers such as Desolation and still hold points in all areas. but as those day long fights went on we lost more and more players with your mentality to other servers, we continued to shrink in numbers getting dominated more and more every week.

I’ve been on FoW since launch and, while I wouldnt be happy about it, I honestly wouldn’t be too sad to see FoW merged with another server. At least then I could say I stuck with my server till the end and didn’t transfer to some zerg fest like so many others have. If you are proud of being on a server you transferred to good for you. You didn’t help them get to where they were, you didn’t weather the storm, Don’t tell us that we’re bad cause we don’t run away from our problems like so many others. And to all those who left FoW and Vabbi thanks for causing this problem. Enjoy your zergs. I don’t miss you.

Blacktide is complaining bout FoW trebbing from safe zone while they’re using hacks and glitches to just walk into our towers and keeps? Funny.

heh I was wondering how long it would take the RoS attackers to go over the sides rather than the front gate. of course IMP would be the first ones to do it =P The guild lord was ressed shortly after you killed it anyways (I was playing combat medic for the fun of it at the time). I thought that keep was lost so many times… then kept revivng the workers as the gate upgrade neared completion. We were so happy when those gates were reinforced! Also why won’t you leave the poor medic thief from Dark alone? =P I only wanted to help people!

well that was a fun little skirmish at FoW garrison. Any RoS players want to add in their opinions on it?

Why can’t you let us ( Ros) have our full pie

You are not allowed pie! and if RoS actually manage to move up the ladder (which you surely will next week) you’re in for a bad time. chances are you’ll be back down here with us in no time and will have lost a good amount of your player base (Example: Vabbi)

Quite disheartened by this patch, I play with a P/D build and Dancing dagger was one of my more used abilities. I’ve always looked down upon glass cannon thieves and back stabbers especially. but now that my only real instant damage ability has been removed I’m considering just going full glass cannon backstab like the rest of the mindless horde.

It seems to simply be a bug with how ranged abilities work, the same thing happens with blind. the debuff or venom wears off when the ability is CAST not necessarily when it hits. thus making blinds on many range users useless and venoms less useful as well.

UmbraD.4276:

Something needs to change. I love WvWvW it’s just that since Whiteridge, we have no chance, it’s permanently them winning, no let up.

I don’t know about you but the massive amount of glass cannon trash I’ve been meeting in fights with whiteridge is quite amusing. they die in a few hits and run if they can’t burst you down. Least Vabbi players had skill ; ) we may not be able to win through points this week, but we sure can farm them for badges!

Ilesyt.7084:

FoW has apparently given up to fight much during the day, so we’re basically the only server bringing the fight.

Most of our dedicated WvW players are simply only available during what you call the night (sun can’t shine everywhere at once). Our attacks have nothing to do with your actions or when you decide to attack. FoW has been able to take control of all of 2 borderlands and much/most of EB quite a few times this week, but as Vabbi heavily outnumbers us most times (as well as RoS players moving in on us) we can’t hold everything once their zerg wakes up. Just wish your orb wasn’t glitched permanently in your posession at Askalion hills… My friends and I loved stealing it from The Spiritholme and hiding it in the jumping puzzle…

Any Vabbi players enjoy the little skrimish at Fissure of Woe Overlook earlier? Took a few hours for you to take it from us!

or FoW! while we may have come in last again this week I must say the match was a lot more entertaining for a most of our players. instead of being dominated we actually managed to hold our own against our opposition. glad to see we’ve been matched again (though this one is not going quite as well for us).
Looks like I get another fun week of randomly stealing your orbs from the north and hiding them in the jumping puzzles!

heh… I’m in the dragon slayers, the other 2 players you would have seen are with me capping camps in EB right now, they both agree that attacking blue was a mistake and it wasn’t their call. I don’t know who said to go to blue borders despite being advised not to but I assure you, they were not from TDS =P perhaps we should try to work on a more concrete alliance in the future? I’d be more than willing to help with it as at least some people on FoW know my name.

even though you can still get into a keep/tower without needing to down the walls or gate? people are still able to get in, but their methods involve abusing legitimate bugs in the game, my method was simply a flaw in the game not due to a bug or external exploit, to get past the walls with a portal gun you couldn’t just “hop on over”. TBH my previous method can still be done by a group of 2 Mesmers and 2 Elementalists.

From an RP standpoint getting in the way we did had more value than the Mesmer’s method of stand in keep jump over, it required an at least slightly skill infiltrator to get inside and let the rest of the group in without being seen, and always required at least one sacrifice to accomplish.

People only see this as an exploit because they don’t understand how it works or quite how far game mechanics can be twisted to achieve the impossible legitimately. every keep I got in to had catapults and arrow carts aimed at the gates. but good to see that i’m the bad guy here!

there is no 3 way warfare here. it’s the DE server dominates us while we struggle to capture northern supply camps…

Green is already on their way here… I told them to go for the green land but as always I was ignored… I thank you for what you did for us, though I doubt anyone else will every understand it.

Did I say I wanted mesmer portals? I would much prefer that mesmers lose their portals in WvW since I lost mine. My paths to get in were not as simple as point and click, most of them were quite difficult and required teamwork to do. you say my exploit couldn’t be countered? We could only get 1 player in at a time, that one player then had to move to safe spot to get everyone else in, a single guard patrol or enemy player could easily stop the whole invasion there. even if we got a whole team in it would be 10 players at most. trying to get people to click the portal simply does not work.

Why can’t we use siege? I am from fissure of woe. We are always outnumbered in every zone. There was absolutely no way we could ever capture a keep with legitimate tactics. This was all I had left in terms of base assault. have you been completely dominated since the game was released? no, you would probably all flock to a more successful server rather than tough it out. the difference between hiding in a keep and using portal guns to get inside is one involves a great deal of thinking to accomplish while the other simply requires the mesmer AFK in a corner. we’ve seen players from dzagonur use fly hacks to destroy all our defences then assault the keep with heir forces, we’ve had players speed hacking to get to/away from us and yet we rarely even get a chance to touch an orb. My exploit was part of the game which has now been fixed, why would I be banned for this? it’s not like this WvW match meant anything, we all know how it would end. we are losing by 150k points to the top team right now. If the hackers aren’t banned for using external forces to cheat the game why would I be punished for simply thinking?

Why wouldn’t I admit? I was caught many times inside enemy keeps that I got into. They can likely see what I’ve done in those keeps without the gates ever being down and thus my keeping quiet would only make things worse.

In the latest update some of you may be aware that various items were made unavailable in WvW. One of these items included the experimental teleportation guns. With these guns a group of friends and I had found a way to infiltrate every keep in WvW to the champion keep lord with as large of armies as would listen to us. Reading this you can probably all guess why they were removed, this gave those with the ingenuity to think of this sort of plan a lot of power, but in order to actually get in the processes were extremely difficult to accomplish and even harder to think up. I had never seen these strategies used before and unfortunately was only able to record us executing one of them (will post later).

My main problem with this is that the developers thought that this ability should be taken away from us while mesmers are still able to teleport players into keeps/tower/stonemist without any skill or forethought required, they only needed to AFK on a roof and notice the keep was gone then shout in chat. Why should my friends and I be punished for being able to think up these strategies while mesmers are still given free rein over such exploits? Arena Net has said before that mesmers being able to port armies into keeps, or up jumping puzzles was part of the game, so why do the go right ahead and take away a part of the game that I had learned how to exploit? this simply is not fair.

This was something available to ALL classes. any player who could find the vendor was able to get a hold of these guns while only mesmers are able to use their own portal abilities. The playing field I had spent days trying to level has now been tipped back out of my favour from one update…

P.S. If you are on Fissure of woe, Ruins of Surmia or Dzagonur [DE] and noticed a FoW player infiltrating keeps that were controlled by Dzagonur (all of them at the time) it was probably me, and this is how I got myself and comrades in, not hacks

P.P.S. This update funnily enough came out right as our team was making a push on dreaming bay and after I brought 3 other players in to clear the walls for our attackers at the gates… all progress on that siege was lost to the update but we were able to capture it after the game came back.

P.P.P.S. I can post video evidence of our adventures with teleportation guns in the future (and likely will) if any of you need “proof”. as I doubt my precious guns will be brought back I see no harm in letting the masses see how we did it, considering there is no way they can do it themselves now…
