Please remove trebuchets from Kyhlo!!!!!!!!

[Garathow.1509]

Dear Arenanet,

 

Whenever I get Kyhlo, which i like playing on btw, half of the times someone ends up afking on trebuchet, making the whole match 4v5 unless the opposing team gets a jewel brainiac as well.

Please remove this mechanic from the game!!!!!

New players are just getting baited into using it, making themselves useless.

I'm a scrub player myself, but if no pro team uses it ever, it's pointless having trebuchets the way they are now in the first place.

 

I'm sure there's plenty of other people who share the same experience.

 

Sincerely,

Scrub

It just needs to be reworked to something that's more active. Maybe some kind of ammo system that you can pick up at specific times that let you call a treb shot to your location rather than have to fire the treb yourself. Kind of like the Djinn buff but for a treb shot.

The afk players are more prominent because no one takes the mode seriously anymore except your dunning vets.

 

Barren pvp, go check out the rest of the game.

The treb mechanic probably needs to be beefed up, I agree. It does have its place in certain specific cases (usually if there's a pitched battle with 3 or more enemies on a point where a couple of well-placed treb shots can swiftly turn the tide in your favour), but the trouble is that a) newbies usually don't know to get OFF the treb once the situation no longer calls for it), and b) smart enemies will just take the battle off the point so unless the trebber is very good at predicting where the battle will shift on the point, they'll just end up trebbing nothing.

 

One possible solution might be to make it so the treb leaves behind fire fields that not only damage enemies who linger in the area (and counters enemies who just dodge at the right time to avoid the treb shots), but also grant boons/healing to allies standing in it. That should make the treb a potent weapon that can turn the tide of a battle, but it also leaves it vulnerable to a split strategy where the enemy goes for side points and the treb is no longer as useful since it can't cover so much ground at once.
