Guild Wars 2

Me & my friends are doing SAB tribulation mode as a group, its a lot of fun, we can figure out things together learn from each others mistakes etc. it works great.

Here is a problem tho, what usually happens is this: One or more of us makes it to a cloud and waits for those behind us & ITS NOT FUN to lose 100 baubbles to owls while we are waiting for ppl, it makes it less multiplayer firendly. What was the design decision behind this?

Overall we still enjoy the tribulation mode a lot …

Mea culpa for at least 75% that Sina lost.
And as true paparazzo i managed to take a pic of Owl bubble stealer!

Trib is awsome, and its a lot of fun to play with friends, and as much as owls are cute its kind of annoying to loose 100 bubbles in 30 mins

Its very annoying, right^^
Just make some fast steps to the left/right, the owls will miss you because they try to land there where you’ll stand if you go on. Moving in different directions tricks them quite well.

I tried the quick strafing, it’s not helping. Right now I’m waiting at the checkpoint with the balloon again ^__v (look at pic)

175 baubbles lost so far & counting.

THE OWLS ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEM!

I never thought about that, I do all my SAB solo.

I guess it wouldn’t be a bad idea to make those spots safe from owls.

Edit:

At least the owls don’t kill you >.>

It’s easy to trick them Sina, simply sidestep left or right as soon as the jump, standing the furthest away possible from them.

Actually they do. At times thanks to the owls I kind of entered combat & missed jumps because of the lowered speed, or at least that’s what i thnk happened.

If they land next to you (check a pic above), I found no way to avoid the steal.

You can smack the owl away with your high five

As far as I know your speed does not change in SAB. There is no in or out of combat state like there is in the real world.

You can go back and check the old original patch notes if you want, but I remember Josh discussing this the first time around.

Maybe it’s just placebo, simply just got distracted n missed the jump.

I’m certain being hit by an owl makes your movement speed drop for about a second. Killed me a dozen times.

Josh Foreman.8250:

the system isn’t perfect because we can’t call a script to the exact moment the slow down occurs, so there can be split-second overlaps where you still have our SAB speed boost but you’re also exiting the combat slow down

I would assume this not only causes a short speed boost upon leaving combat, but also a short slowdown upon entering combat.
