Guild Wars 2

This is clearly a bug. People who are invulnerable or invisible are not supposed to be able to contest a point. Similar to how it works in sPvP.

That’s the reason why thieves aren’t good point defenders… because they loose the point as soon as they stealth. This should be reported as a bug, if that was the case. In this video though, you can’t even see if it’s the thief that’s actually contesting the point or if there are npc’s/other people running onto the point.

Have you tried shooting downed players :P. It will do wonders for you. If you’re in a group with 3 people on (for instance) ballistas, it’s badge farming galore. Call out downed players and shoot them. Suddenly you realize… wait there were 4 people riving and their downed as well… keep shooting… suddenly 10 enemies are dead at one spot just because they wanted to revive.

The real problem I see here is the “aim for 2nd place part”. The ranking system should be changed so that there’s no benefit to placing 2nd best. This just makes it so much easier for the winning server, if the other two servers start fighting each other.

This is definitely a new bug. I had no problems before now nothing will load. I was going around with the same people (allies not enemies) for 30 minutes and they didn’t load in that time. This bug currently means that there is no way I can play WvW.

Hi guys,

We’ve been running into the issue, that if one server is far enough ahead that they are clearly going to win, the 2nd place server starts ganking on the 3rd place server. Suddenly it’s just the opposite of what was intended. Originally the leading Server was supposed to be at a disadvantage because they would be focused by the other two servers.

This is clearly caused by the ranking system which favors 2nd over 3rd place. If there wouldn’t be a difference between the 2nd and 3rd place in terms of ranking, then they would be much more obliged to target the leading server.

I think this simple change could even out the WvW playing field.
