If the goal is to get us to put catapults further from walls, then I suggest that they have the splash damage from the shots hit both wall and catapult. If they think this is too severe they could have the knock back from the shot effect all who are near it.
I too have been enjoying gliding in WvW but it might have been enhanced this week because I was on the Red Team.
I think that gliding gives the Red Team advantages.
Red normally controls the Overlook Keep in Eternal Battlegrounds and it has an advantage that allows the owner of that keep to fly into the Ogre Watch and Veloka Towers. This makes it much easier to defend those towers. Getting into towers that are under attack by zergs is normally almost impossible, but gliding from the Overlook allows easy access.
The Red home borderland also gives some major defensive advantages because the keeps there has greater altitude to fly from. The home borderlands have always had some advantages for the defender, but gliding increases those advantages for the Red Team because of the vertical design of the Desert map.
I successfully preformed the 7/11/17 update and played for a few hours this afternoon. The next time I logged on I received a message saying that my data archive needed to be repaired. I accepted this task but the repair does not seem to be progressing. This is the first time I have been told that that the data archive has needed a repair (in close to 5 years).
My Windows Task Manager indicates that Guild Wars 2 is not responsive. Please advise us on how we should handle this situation.
How can we report players suspected of hacks in WvW?
Today I tried to report a group of players that I suspect of using hacks to enhance their skills but I could not find any way of doing so. I click on the character and choose report but there is no option to describe the events or request ANet personnel to observe the suspicious activity. Is there a normal procedure to deal with this situation?
The Devouring the Brand meta event that ends with the spawn of the Champion Devourer Queen has repeatedly stalled over the past week. I have submitted 3 bug reports for different stages of the meta event that have stalled. The collection item that it drops is one of the last few the I need to complete Hope IV.
Today the NPC that starts it, Sentinel Whiptail is marked as a quest but will not start the first quest in the series.
I doubt that this event can be fixed quickly and would recommend that you choose a different target for the Hope IV collection or perhaps you could have the Champion Devourer Queen to spawn outside of this meta event chain.
Map IP 64.25.38.135:0 has been the only map that I have gotten in over 3 days for the Fields of Ruin. The Ogre Wars event has been stuck with the the Charr NPCs in the Kraal for that time. They should have marched out of the Kraal at the end of the event and that seems to be the cause of the event not resetting. Normally it would reset 20 minutes after the completion.
If you can not fix this event quickly I hope you can at least force a reset of the event or move us onto a server where it is working. Many of us are trying to complete the Treasure Hunter achievement and this event has one of the items for it.
The dynamic event series called In Pursuit of Knowledge in the Dredgehaunt Cliffs have stalled on Map IP = 64.25.38.103:0
The event ends with the spawning of the champion Dredge Commissar when he is killed players get access to a chest that may contain the exotic Manifesto needed for the Treasure Hunter achievement. I am hoping the event can be fixed so I can continue to try to get this item.
The event message is stuck at “The dredge and Priory forces are competing for the center camps.” I have been repeatedly running this event and I think I may know when the event becomes stalled.
The Dredge assault the Fridgardr Lodge and if that assault is not stopped it advances with the spawn of a veteran Dredge Siegemaster that normally marches into the Lodge and then triggers a recapture event. However if the veteran is killed before he reaches the Lodge then the event line stalls because no recapture event started.
Feel free to contact me in game if you want a taxi to the bugged map or have any questions. I hope that you can fix this problem soon so we can resume our quest for the Treasure Hunter achievement. Thanks.
I think the map mentioned in this post has changed because the map I am currently getting to is IP = 64.25.38.100:0
The event on this map is stalled with the Charr NPCs in the middle of the Kraal. When I talk to Maybri and offer to join the attack force nothing happens. I am willing to taxi the krewe into the map. Just whisper any of the 8 characters on my account.
I have been repeatedly doing this event since the Treasure Hunter achievement came out. I have seen the event stall when players have tried to talk to Maybri before she reaches the other NPCs and occasionally when the NPCs die while the players kill the first 2 champions. Another problem seems to occur when both the Charr and Vanguard events are started and they reach the Kraal at the same time.
I am pleased that you are looking into this problem because I really want that exotic bunny at the end of the event. Thanks.
Sigh… it seems I jinxed the events. Both Ogre Wars and the Dredge Commissar events are stalled again.
Ogre Wars is stuck at the message “Charr and Vanguard forces are assaulting Foulbear Kraal”. I did find the dead bodies of Captain Gregory and Scout Finley inside the Kraal. I revived them but the event did not restart. Last night I also saw the npc Maybri inside the Kraal but she was unresponsive to my request to start the assault.
The Dredge Commissar event seems to be stalled on Dredge and Priory competing for the central camps. I found Dredge occupying Fridgardr Lodge and killed them but they kept respawning and there was no event available that would have the Priory retake the camp.
Please fix these events so we can return to our quest for the Treasure Hunter achievement.
Currently all of the major Meta Events seem to be bugged. Some events are stuck in the preparation stage while others just are long overdue to begin. The events I mean are ones such as the Great Jungle Wurm, Shatterer, Tequatl, Fronzen Maw, Claw of Jormag, Shadow Behemoth, etc.
I am on the Borlis Pass server, but this problem seems to be happening on most if not all servers.
