Guild Wars 2

^____Subject _^

I want to talk to npc or stay afk for a minute, but i can’t do it when sky lazors focus me. It is ok when they do it 1-2-3 times, but not more. Let other people have fun from dodging them too

Try asking Aetherblades to leave Lion Arch’s kindly. LA is not a warzone anyways.

Well the number of laser attacks in the SW corner of LA do need to be toned down, especially when you’re the only player around there. I think I had at least 5 right in a row (with maybe a second or two in between each) target me while I was gathering heirlooms. It became even more of a pain when I had to go through a miasma section (between 13 and 32 of dulfys rubble guide), between the lasers and miasma and krait, I barely survived (using a light armor class).

The lasers haven’t been an issue for me when adventuring. They become a mechanic to deal with during fights, which is fine.

The only issue I have is when (as the OP said) I’m chatting with an NPC and the laser keeps focusing me. Once, sure. Haha dodged you Scarlet and continue with NPC dialogue. But bam-bam-bam-bam gets annoying when I just want to find out Peter’s story.

Best places to go afk are at the entrance portals or inside an heirloom cave.

Get into wall/mountain crevices and the likes, and it should stop.

The worst place I found for them was on the way to diverse ledges and then by the purple portal. But there’s crevices to hide there, that stops the lasers (I don’t know if this was intentional or not, but it works).

Agreed. It’s annoying when you try to talk to an npc and get attacked constantly.

If you zone out of Lion’s Arch, the lasers no longer hit you.

I wouldn’t stop them completely, or tone them down in the war zone, but it does break immersion to see an NPC you’re talking to just sit their idly while being bombarded by a laser.

It would be nice to get up for a bathroom break or a drink without getting pummeled by lasers.

We are actually supposed to take breaks from playing every 15-20 min (technically), repeated laser attacks isn’t conducive for taking any breaks.

I don’t especially enjoy the lasers but they do add in a bit of feeling since this is a warzone but like I saw other people comment before surely it’d be better for them to target large groups than to go after a lone player.

Another thing that did annoy me about them was that I was heading through the sewers to go get an heirloom yet I still got targeted even in the sewer for a while. It only happened once so maybe it was a weird bug but it was still annoying at the time haha.

My opinion is they are there to stop farmers and AFKr’s

There should be…

The lasers can be really annoying in their abundance, but the one bit that I think is over the top, immersion breaking, and just lame, is when they shoot into a cave area. Such as into the sewer area near Traders Forum waypoint.

the lazers should be aimed at the zergs, not individuals: im all alone and i get shoot like 10 times but when a zerg comes over to where i am, the lazer stops shooting at the location, every sodding time

Yeah. Pretty much. It doesn’t help these are newer faster ones that got added for no apparent reason. I guess to reuse the marionette death ray animation. It also makes the lone remaining red one stick out like a sore thumb on top of the annoyances.

And if one doesn’t believe it can target the sewers, here’s proof.
