NubCakes.7461 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 just an idea i wish they would add a wyvern or dragon mount in wvw that can only be accessed by one person in the entire map that acts like a napalm bomb just to break up oversized zergs. the way i want it to work is that it is a favor that u have to fight for once every hour or 30 mins except for the server holding the stonemist castle. but anyways the idea is one person can only ride it but can also grab 4 ppl on the ground at a time then paradrop them whenever on our teritory and land them on ememy territory. i dnt want it to be too OP so it can be killable by ballistas but ofcourse i knw ppl can spam build ballistas in an area so id like it to have multiple dodges to be able to avoid being just shot down too easily or to have a tough armor for a duration of a time so it still needs to retreat and thnk about flying on certain areas. my idea of its skills are napalm bomb kinda like just the wyverns in heart of thorns when they drop a long aoe with high dmg and burn enough to break up a zerg, large aoe fear that removes boons in an area(spellbreaker dome), gust knock backs multiple people and armor to protect its self. also want the dragon/wyvern to be attackable by zergs but only up to 1200 range but not taking a full damage so it dont go down to quick...whats everyones thought on this? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanAlcedo.3281 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 So... If I have a second account on the enemy server, I could just steal the wyvern and Afk forever at spawn? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NubCakes.7461 Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 its more to attack smc not to defend maybe to only make buff available if u want to clai smc. and really what does the small folks do against organized giant grps its to atleast split the blob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamikharzeeh.8016 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 it's just far too much, bc it needs a big lot of dmg if u want it to be able to "bomb effectively" against a blob (~45+ players) it should never be mountable also, as this is supereasy to abuse for servertrolls, even if u set it on an extremly expensive mastery. some trolls are yet high ranked, isn't absurdly hard if ranks are your only focus. i wouldn't mind if anet would add some few mechanics that are locked to really high ranks, like cost 1000 wvw-mastery points to pull them. but rather not sth crazy like a bomber plane, which u basically suggested. there is yet a lot of minor stuff that could be reworked decisively to usefulness: mercanaries on alpines, wyvern and mercs on desert border. general lord power on towers/keeps across the maps. the wyvern in RBL are similar to the NPC bosses of the HoT maps, just that they are hidden in some corner lol. if you could sorta summon them with a tactics into some keep, it'd be a significant defense boost, for example. right now, i guess they never ever get killed even. similar to the boss NPC at the red side EBG northwest camp, the arboreal spirit thingy. rather strong but usually not doing anything. similar to blue EBG side grub. and idk even if green side has anything alike as well, i think not. (lords are especially weak towards smaller groups and cannot even effectively pressure a single thief or mesmer in a lot of cases) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I remember they were over powered much like this idea. would be a master piece, to get dragons in trade for dragon banners lel dragon banner with old dmg and unnerfed could deal like 500.000 dmg within one engage, we had that once where the other top dps was only sth like 90k-120k i think was still more fun than just beeing unable to do anything against three times bigger groups openfield tbh (while i still agree, dragonbanners needed to be area-restricted... we once took SM against 4 dragonbanners and a massive cloudblob with 35-40 players, that was superkitten and took 40minutes literally fight-grinding on lord room) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkpile.7439 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Maybe you could get some giant hawk mount when you reach let's say 7k rank. You could fly over zerg, grab 5 enemies like they would be some mouses, carry them area where they can glide and drop them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NubCakes.7461 Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 well the idea is just 1 guy only flying around with it and if u dont have smc u cant summon it…and it doesnt have to be a damage it can be just to cc people around or remove boons to create opening for smaller groups. even to just knock people of sieges too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamikharzeeh.8016 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 cc is even worse than dmg tbh x) the game is yet sooo much brainded CC-spam.... the cooldowns on CC skills should be like +10 seconds on every single one these days. since only balance that happens is nerfs, condi application intervall and CC cooldowns could get that treatment as well but still, a guy flying on a wyvern would be quite nuts. if it couldn't do any dmg, it would be the same fail issue as warclaw is by now. creating lags, while beeing useless in most cases. big. and bro, dragon banner at launch beeing OP was also because people had no clue about it. guess most of us that knew to old dmg dragonbanner still can relate. first time u saw it u been like WTF IS THIS that is what makes the feb20 nerfs so sad. nowadays the game is a slow grind for kills, outside of cheesy glass crap builds. (like the PERFECTLY BALANCED ENGI class named holo who throws 2 nades on you in stealth and overheats you for 14k dmg and bam oneshot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamikharzeeh.8016 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 it sometimes does not get attacked for ages, bc people are afraid. only on the blobservers, so usually t1-3 it gets hit on nearly 24/7 and after primetime, numbers can severly shift. suddenly the former bloby server is heavily undernumbers this was btw the case since beta. i saw a very old video of some game tester who got clapped hard at the very early years of Wvw by some enemy blob near anzalias xD yet - u didn't get oneshot back then. not even with his basic potatoe gear and without clue about his skills. nowadays? u (would / can) die from 1700 range without sometimes seeing what really did hit u. :I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
