Please stop players getting into keeps and towers with no siege

[Karagee.6830]

The situation is actually ridiculous with BB, I think the majority of towers and keeps they flip are done this way.

 

Fix it.

Hahaha, such optimism!

Every now and again we need to bring this up so they don't think we forgot or think it's ok.

This type of thing is worse than the worst balance they ever managed to create.

[Daredevil.2745]

What is not bannable is allowed, have fun loosing upgraded keeps and towers! Working as intended.

You simply need to scout better and fight those players open field so they don't have chances to jump over gates.

Does PvD count as "no siege"? 😁

Yeah I will get into the 3rd server's keeps without siege and scout for them

But then Anet should just come out and say it's ok: exploits are not hacks. Then we'd all be doing it and it would be fine. However as long as Anet sticks to the story this is bannable, then they need to act accordingly.

Interestingly I also caught the group probably doing it. Me and 2 other roamers killed all 6 of them. It's funny how it's always people who can't play resorting to these sort of things or who make towers and keeps into death stars building siege right up to the limit, isn't it?

That's why you do it on one of your many worthless F2P accounts instead of your main one.

I don't think anybody is ok with this (except the perpetrators of course), but I also don't think that people are going to put more energy into something that they know Anet is unable/unwilling to fix. It's not about anger for many of us but rather resignation or apathy.

you can literally jump into the alpine garrisons.... reported it 3 years ago... still possible.... yeah...

Yesterday (31.10.2022) we had some group of players (5 or so) from guild Hunt For Pleasure [Hunt] from WSR server around 11 a.m. (UTC+1) exploiting into the green keep (teef portal exploit). Not once but twice or even more (wasn't camping whole day in keep).
Last week there was only 1 teef doing same exploit. 
I'll get probably banned for it but whatever, these kind of gibberish behaviour should be witch hunted by community.

I know there was a commander on Desolation who was doing trainings with a full blob of 40-50 players how to jump in Garri and towers

In before moderator locks the topic and says we should report them in-game. There's no way to report it in-game.

Report for Botting per the help/support page 

 

• “Use the Botting reason if reporting someone who is cheating, hacking, or exploiting a bug for unintended gains. The Support Team will investigate further!“

[Asahi.1487]

Best way for anet to fix this issue is to make a video, showing how to do this on all the maps, spread it.

Report for botting in-game. Make screenshots (or a video) and report the hacking also via email to support@arena.net and attach the screenshots to the email.

Anet will of course not respond to you about their methods and their findings. But after a player hacked a lot into our keeps and was reported, this hacking somehow stopped after the reports. Maybe it was coincidence, maybe not.

in NA theres a "notorious" guild that we caught hacking into SWT. We've (less of us) beat them back multiple times. Another guild also has many people go under the map right in front of you and pop up in a keep and port people inside. Ironically the guilds that do this have one of those guild names that you look at it and say "why am I not surprised".

stack lots of mechanics and the awfull and the hatefull  camp charr  vehicle (forgot the name).. gates melt.

I reccall back in 2014 several engie turrets would melt a t2 to t3 gate, i think mechanics can reach almost the same effect  if reccall its dps wasnt reduced i think, perma quickness golem pvd on gate.

QQ? I stomped hadi a couple weeks ago after he and his friends did this. His pocket firebrand was just a little too slow to break in and save him rofl.

The issue can be researched already.

Nickname Charr Car, real name Dune Roller. Still in line with rams and catapults for walls and gates. Requires multiple shots per 1% reduction. Louder than a cata or ram since its firing more often and has a higher pitch. Admit if a guild claims a camp and doesn't add buffs, that one I will throw in place since its mobile siege and it seems to be easy to lure people with since they feel the need to chase it, hence great bait.

I have also watched single toons, to entire squads use "Special Skills" to move around maps:

1.  Port an entire Squad of 40 to a friend across the map i.e. Teleport to a Friend... "Special skill"

2.  A Mes who is under the ground perma invis'd in fire keep.  

3.  It looked like someone was using a Druid skill with a cable attached to 30+ people to drag them around

4.  A FB who doesn't take any damage at all.  Many other classes who take no damage, or when they are downed flick some invis switch to instantly pop up to full health and all buffs. They will do this 2-3 times, then the smart ones finally die knowing somehow that skill  is not allowed.  And to the questionable people in this thread who are protecting them... NO no one was downed to enable them to RALLY.

------------------------------------------------------

5.  On and on..  Yet all I see are us HONEST people getting nerfed on FB, scrapper etc...  For example, how come my FB has 26k health and when I log into WvW I only have 23k?

6.  How come my 3600armor doesn't mean anything to damage. Especially condi, do they seep through my armor, I cannot wear a mask to contain the plague?

7.  My nerfed Scrapper at 21k health dies to a Necro axe 3, it hits me three times and I am downed?  WTkitten there?  Balance?  Allow these "Special Skills" but keep nerfing us.

8.  Anet needs to get their priorities corrected and fix these "Special Skills" before we even discuss or put resources into Balancing PVE, WvW or PVP.

I don't wanna say anything about that guild that may get me in trouble, but they deserve to be exposed for what they really are. Let's just say they are towards the top of a personal list of mine and leave it at that...

As much as I'd like that to happen, its  nearly a pipedream to expect them to fix anything map-related. They can't even bother fixing the map jank in Desert bl like the Stoic outer comers blocking projectiles and de-rendering the map. Or like how's there's still random projectile obstructions in Alpine/EBG camps.
