Guild Wars 2

I always used to think this event in the gates of Arah chain just involved the NPC waiting for something. It will run there, wait, fight, wait, fight, wait, fight… et cetera et cetera, until it fails. It’s succeeded sometimes, but I never saw it happen as I was doing the other events those times.

So, I heard it’s supposed to do something at those lantern things… well, that would explain a lot. Do we need to keep risen from even entering its aggression range in order for it to work then? Merely killing them off and healing/reviving the NPC doesn’t seem to help. Or is it just dysfunctional?

It’s bugged.

Update: this event is still bugged and Angaria keeps trolling people doing nothing.

I’m a commander in Sorrow’s Furnace and have only seen Angaria completed maybe five times out of the hundred I’ve led the meta. Usually a way to tell if you’re wasting your time or not is if the beacons she activates actually start glowing and functioning as, well, beacons. Generally, though, you’re better off just doing the Didi event.

The last two times I’ve tried this event, its succeeded. No idea why or how (fixed?), one moment were fighting unending swarms of undead, the next there’s nothing to attack, and Any NPCs are lost in the noise of the zerg on the screen.
