Guild Wars 2

It may just be my gaming OCD and completism, but yeah, I have a problem finding one NPC. Map is Queensdale, region The Heartwoods, and place is just near the small Seraph camp with one tent, bonfire and 3 wounded soldiers, fighting Centaur camps close to Claypool. Two days ago when I was talking to lieutenant Mayler near the tent, I come across some NPC who (I think) looked like a Seraph soldier, I started a conversation with him (as I do with every NPC) and he told me about that ‘strange green (?) glow coming out of the forest nearby, that it looks corrupted and unnatural and I should be careful walking there’, or something along these lines. Clearly refering to Rotting Ancient Oakheart champion, spawning just over the hill. NPC then disappeared and I haven’t payed much attention to it. But now I can’t see him anywhere, and I was even staying there waiting for him during several Rotting Oakheart respawns in hope he is event triggered and I can meet him again, with no success.

Did anyone here meet this NPC near the tent in The Heartwoods – Queensdale? I would be happy for any information, thank you :]

SpoooOOOOooooky.

I’m kinda curious about this now. Might have to check it out next time I’m in Queensdale.

Yeah, some friends say I don’t play, I test, analyse. But I like it this way and GW2 is offering me a lot. I like to talk to everyone, listen to their stories and even just wait by the group of NPCs and listen if they have some interesting flavour dialogue going on. So I can’t sleep over this lost NPC and message not clear. By the way, has anyone else read all the tombstones on Shaemoor cemetery? I’m weird.

OK, I think I have it, created quick alt character, got to the tent area and waited, after a while a female Seraph Archer appeared near tent and started to repeat a line about her (bad) luck, clearly to draw players attention. So I spoke to her. I attached three screenshots with the dialogue. Sadly I was killed by a bear while standing there (it one-shot me), but I was still, even dead, able to finish a conversation, after which she slowly limped (she is wounded) away to the front of the tent and disappeared (simulating entering it). I guess this is one time small NPC encounter, which will never happen again, and I was able to catch it and fully enjoy it The OCD monster in me is pleased, and terrified at the same time, thinking about how many such encounters I may have missed already!

Sounds like a fairly unbearable experience.
