Guild Wars 2

After the waypoint bug that occurred 2 weeks ago which involved more ET people than I can count it’s hard to pay too much respect to… I would like to say few individuals, but… this actually involved way too many people to say that only a few exploited stuff.

Please be aware that this is a video from two weeks go (in the famously known Tier of Tears battle), and not from this week.

However, knowing that 2 weeks ago we also had reports of orb hacking and this week seems like a dejavu of 2 weeks ago, I wouldn’t be TOO surprised that the same is going to happen.

I haven’t logged in yet and watched but it sounds like a dejavu from 2 weeks ago, this time with Jade Quarry instead of SBI.

What you’re seeing in most probably the core WvWvW ers taking a break when things stablize.

I know my guild has activity in WvWvW quite a bit less than usual when the situation isn’t as exciting.

What he’s saying is that portals shouldn’t be able to glitch past walls when the mesmer hasn’t had access in yet.

And yes, a mesmer hiding inside a taken keep was something that has been planned and forseen by Arenanet since day 1.

my 2 cents

If you are a HoD commander and you think that the zerg is in it for the karma points, then you should take off your commander badge and go PVE.

HoD is currently where we are at right now because of a reason.

soji.1475:

Sbi took the orbs during TA’s primetime when TA people were on… HoD took the orbs back when noone was around really to defend them.. yeah that sounds legit too i guess? Like i said TA ain’t worth jack without the absurd amount of Asian/Oceanic players you have covering your sorrykitten so quit taking all the credit like it’s TA making a difference in HoD it isn’t you guys are just a zerg nothing more.

I’m from the Asian area and yes we are grateful for what the prime time people are doing. We sometimes cross our time zones to help each other out and we know how skilled and coordinated they are when we are forced on our back foot.

You must not have seen or heard about the first orb that we took which involved the following:

1 shiny orb
2 legs running
3 consecutive mesmer portals
4 ET’s ballistas safeguarding the alter
5…. sorry It’s hard to carry on, I did my best.

Anyway, it also involved
40 identifiable ETs homing in from the whole map
and another 40 War Machine members missing the orb holder by about 10 seconds due to our mesmer portals transporting the orb holder to safety at Bay.

It shouldn’t be bound PERIOD because you can put blueprints on the floor for someone else to pick up.

Yes TA guild members are weak and get killed by pubs in face that SBI has the 3 orb buff and the other two servers are basically spawn/keep camping on Eternal Battlegrounds during the first two days.

Sounds Legit.

It’s not one’s problem that the enemy doesn’t show up on the battlefield and effectively throws the match.
If somebody needs to change their behavior, it’s definitely not the one that’s doing well.

Tebs don’t hit for 1500 nor do they stack vulnerability

Currently yes because it’s very influential in metagame, which is fine until you have people hacking it.

Make a special only-for-me guild tag and go on the battlefield if you are so bothered by it…
Making guilds are cheap and guild names do show up when targeted.

We took the garrison, and the orb turns white (?!) but counting towards SBI.

unable to move it too.

I also play a mesmer, with a similar, but very different build. In this video it’s clear that you play your mesmer like a thief.

Yes it’s nice when you catch one or two people off guard, but glass cannon builds have a hard time keeping up the front line, which is where mesmers shine.

Game already has this implemented through the the bug of invincible lords.
Try breaking into Garrison only to find the lord invulnerable.

Not a good idea.

Exploit or not it’s not something you cannot counter.

Changing the AoE mechanics of trebs and catapaults mean a lot of LOS work for the devs so I don’t think we’ll be seeing those for the meantime.

Anyway, the catapault behind the gate isn’t the holy grail to holding a gate.
In fact, I have at least 2 ways to counter it.

When all else fails, don’t use a flame ram.

And within minutes we’re back to

I am from HOD and our group of people typically focus on red borderlands, which, at this time is JQ. JQ is usually a softer target than SBI right now. We have a hard time attacking past bluelake, let alone the hills. (sometimes we try to do ninja sieges at hills if we can manage to cut them off at bluewater) Anytime we try to attack and take the hills it is because JQ is launching an assault on EH and we want to see if we can get anything out of the combat.

There is simply no alliance with any of the SBI guys. We want to backstab SBI as much as we would want to backstab JQ, but in reality SBI simply has much better response times when they have people and we are forced to abort many attack attempts on them. We don’t like to waste time and lives attacking something that we don’t have the confidence in taking, so we abort these attacks to do more meaningful things.

By other meaningful things, one example is that we often see JQ smacking their faces into Dreaming Bay. Of course Dreaming bay is well supplied as we usually do keep watch of greenvale, and yes we do have scouts and people spotting large assaults.
Once we see these things and SBI turns out to be too messy to gamble with, we simply turn our backs to SBI and come and wipe you outside/inside Dreaming bay, depending on if you actually got through the outer door or not.

JQ should be relatively more difficult to take as JQ is an attack up the hills into some cliffs that we cannot scale. However, it is quite interesting the number of times our siege up the hill into garrison and/or longview/cliffside works after we wipe at Dreaming Bay like the last example. It shouldn’t be hard for JQ to hold the two keeps and the garrison given the geometry of the map. But interestingly JQ loses garrison once too oftenly to HoD and sometimes to SBI. Stop zerging around and actually do some defense like SBI does and maybe HoD will leave your keep and towers alone for a while and go for SBI. I’m not sure if this is the same case as in EB, but from other posts JQ in EB seems to be suffering the same problems.
