Druids Isle (Ganking) - Guild Wars Forums

Massive Impulsa · Oct 25, 2008, 11:29 PM // 23:29

One thing i really wonder on Druids, is that when your the Away team you cant kill the Bodyguard from a "safe" place, like u can if you are the Home Team wouldnt this be quite unfair? I think it is, atleast - might be me maybe there is a "safe" spot for the away team i tried all the places on that hill all obstructed on bodyguard? All in all my question is , is it possible to kill / hit the bodyguard from the "safe" zone whit a flatbow for the Away team?

Home team ganking from Safeplace can hit the BG and all the archers + hiding from the one archer.

Probably move to GvG forum

Meh. That's not exactly game breaking but it probably should be looked at.

Well when the Bodyguard protects 25% dmg , it get quite much overall if you have two ranger ganking like in the finale lie vs sup, altough sup won but they needed too do like 25% extra damage :/ needs to be fixed!

Its been like that since forever and yeah it does give you a big advantage if the game is heading for 28 minutes as you will get more damage on the lord as you're higher up and also the fact that you can avoid killing alot of npcs before being able to freely attack the lord.

However its not just druids isle and theres a lot of maps where certain sides have advantages on one side that the other side doesn't which is ok for ladder play but not for tournament play. Nothings gonna happen about it now but for GW2 would be nice to see symetrical maps that are fair for both sides.

I think this was used in the [Trim] -v- [NOW] match.

Massive Impulsa · Oct 31, 2008, 02:43 PM // 14:43

Yup, thats when i noticed it - altough NOW won but TRIM could get their Bodyguard and when u have that Ranger Turret spamming for 15min ~ , 20% dmg, is gamebreaking..

There are numberous differences between sides on most gvg maps, more than most people know about. The home team (blue) is in most cases in an advantageous position. It worked for ladder play but it's totally wrong for tournaments. A lot of work to fix them all.
