Changed my play style around. Instead of playing an optimal strategy for my server I look for opportunistic situations to get stomps and defensive spots to drop arrow carts. Supporting just not worth it.
Ya, if you are playing against NPC’s, these guys aren’t stupid.
Edit: that was maybe 10-20% of the people they had camping in the puzzle too.
Actually, I was around when they were doing that, and that’s most of the people that were camping the puzzle, so saying that was 10-20% is a gross exaggeration. There were maybe three or four more, but the rest were coming in, getting the chest, and leaving.
And to tell the truth, after SBI came in with about 10 people, they managed to destroy two arrow carts, get to the top of the beast room, and take us out to get to the top.
Nope, there were also camps at the top of the well and the arena room as well as more camping the entrance that aren’t in that pic.
Edit: not surprising took only 10 to take them out. The EB campers are usually pretty terrible PVPers when not 5v1ing.
Seriously though, the chokepoints are strong enough, there is no reason that siege should be allowed in the puzzle. Also, completing the puzzle should port you out automatically and you shouldn’t be allowed in until the chest respawns for you. Too easy to finish the puzzle and then grief until you die. If you want to chokepoint someone at least put your progression on the line.
Just came back yesterday after not playing for a while. Today and yesterday played a couple hours, a bit over 100 kills in WvWvW and 4 Badges. Yay support.
So casually playing an hour a day I’ll be able to gear up by 2014.
Ok, time for a bit more extended of a break.
