Ah, cool. :) So basically most professions could do something like that. Then that means that no single profession is really at fault, more like the structures are glitchy, no?

DemonSeed.3528 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 These are one of many things that will never be fixed - been years. That's why I also believe nothing will be done about the hacking general either, at least from the standpoint of fixing the issues in game behind the problem aside from penalizing the accounts involved. I also am under the impression that they probably cannot fix certain exploits/hacks, and probably why they don't have a working exploits email anymore, just feels like they don't want to deal with it and make it harder for people to report (just my assumption, and I am more than happy to hear why they don't have one anymore, from their mouth of course). It's a sad state of affairs especially when they don't respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then that means that no single profession is really at fault, more like the structures are glitchy, no? No. It's skills and utility that was never in mind when WvW was made, same with warclaw, all of which seemed to get little to no actual testing before release to live. I would blame it on this over the structure it self. Most classes can't since the warclaw fixes, right now it's Mes and Thief. Guard is, well more or less impossible to pull off when intending to do it, I have tried to do it for hours with someone I know from another server, I could never figure the timing out and I don't know of anyone who has made a claim to be able to do such. Mes I am not sure if the exploit still exists, I will have to dig for old videos and test out at some point. Ele I am like 99% sure was patched, but it required an anet employee getting caught on video abusing it and people getting mad about it for that to even happen. Thief like the video above I remember hearing about and seeing video of someone abusing it probably not even a few months after HoT release. If it's still possible on DD to do this, I would say this was without question the easiest one to pull off and pull off consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanabal lecter.2495 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Yea they're still possible and this isnt only area you can also do north bay inner.

Then you wouldn't have LOS to cast ground-targeted skills or ranged AoEs like AC fire, marks, wells, etc. through, and likely jumping through open gates with these same vertical leaps would be cut short by clipping into said wall pieces. Easier fix is to just remove the little humped wall you can stand on or reshaping the corners to be a bit further away. What this is really demonstrating is that the game was not designed for professions to have this much mobility, which is already an endemic problem in class balance alone.

That trait is getting less and less unique with each update lol. Used to be that only mesmers could portal. Now Thieves and Scourges can as well. There's also an item that creates a portal for any profession so if you count that, then every profession can make a portal. Though i assume that item isn't working in WvW.

That also works. But yeah, it's the same issue that DBL had with druid and gliding, the maps simply weren't designed with certain skills and traits in mind. > @"Veprovina.4876" said: > > @"knite.1542" said: > > > @"Veprovina.4876" said: > > > I don't see what this has got to do with mesmers... > > > > > > > Ah, cool. :) So basically most professions could do something like that.

I don't think the consumable works in WvW, no. But as far as thief portal goes, I'm still happy for that to be removed. It's fun, but it really was not necessary, and I'd sooner have the old traps back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucio.4190 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Interesting. I don't play much PvP (not at all), but why is this a problem? If it is only a thief and a mesmer, I'd say "well done". I think it's pretty cool that the thief can move to areas that others can't and the game doesn't need to be in total balance on everything. It is, in fact, a Thief? Or is there something special about this building that shouldn't make that possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise it's an exploit because you can bypass a mechanic. I'm not sure what OP means by thieves in PvP though caouse i don't play it so i don't know what they can do with a portal there. > @"Jugglemonkey.8741" said: > > @"DeceiverX.8361" said: > > > @"Jugglemonkey.8741" said: > > > They just need an invisible wall above the gates on those structures.

You're not the first one i've heard that would rather have traps back to be honest. But i kinda doubt Anet will ever really revert to how things were.

Otherwise it's an exploit because you can bypass a mechanic. A siege where anything above 5 people means certain classes become unviable due to the heavy boonball zergmeta because then you can literally bypass anything as you run over single targets while being immune to damage, CC and conditions. I'm not concerned about the thief "bypassing" there, or the mesmer. Its a very specific utility on a class mostly used for very specific things. But imagine the scenario if portal was a core guard skill. The scourge tp is the only real issue there, they should never have gotten that.

Psycoprophet.8107 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Last night while sitting in a keep for 15 minutes with a group watching our enemies out side gathering to prepare for their attack a core thief just appeared on our wall and one shot 3 people in succession than disappeared. Weren't back stabs but pistol shots and I mean one shot lmao. I've been playing thief for 7 yrs and know thief pretty well I'd say and crazy things like this are becoming more common. Teleporting or invisible warriors and its not just certain classes as I've seen almost every class used by hackers. 3 nights ago in wvw 2 players and I were fighting one warrior and after a few seconds I noticed his stab was being reapplied every 5 seconds and once his hp got to 50 percent would regenerate very quickly. So I said this all in team chat and the three of us messed around with him for a few minutes laughing at his expense than I said in bubble what kinda loser hacks gw2 and reported and before bubble even left he was cc'd and slaughtered in secs lol. So obviously these can be switched on and off. So for $hits I just Google gw2 hacks and man there's a lot of programs out there, sad tho players feel the need to hack.
