Guild Wars 2

Whose brilliant idea was it to make Champions spawn in an escort event that is all about maintaining morale? Seriously Anet. I had 30 people with me, and then a Champion risen jester spawned. He put that bomb on our heads, blew us up and then did a fire charge into the pact, killing all of them in about 3 seconds flat.

Wise to him, we tried again, this time to try and keep him away from the pact formation. oops! He also has 25 stacks of defiance, so we could not fear, CC, or Knock him away. He proceeded to ignore us in favor of turning Warmaster Chan into a pink smear. Pact is all killed (again) and mission failure.

On the first spawn kitten . I can’t even speak for what the other spawns are like because we never got past the first one. With 30 people all in teamspeak!

…and the only response so far from anyone at Anet:

Although that doesn’t really address your issue since a single Jester Champ can instantly kill every member of the Team in a single Bomb barrage (along with any players trying to rez them)

The only way to beat this right now is to NOT have more than 5 people anywhere near Meddler’s (which is almost impossible b/c lots of people just AFK there out of sheer habit)

Any event with a mob that can instantly kill the team being escorted and dependent upon that team staying alive is bad design. I really hate these types of events.

I don’t mind the escort ones where the escort dies, the event can continue since I can res them. The ones were it is fail on death I detest.
