Guild Wars 2

The Southsun Guild Rush is extremely broken..

I did it today and didn’t even get to finish because all the mobs that aren’t supposed to be a part of the Guild Rush attack you. The Karka mobs (Aside from the Hatchlings that spring up from traps.) don’t attack you at all.. Yet we have a Veteran Reef Rider, Young Reef Rider, and Regular Reef Riders as well as the Reef Drakes attacking you which I’m pretty sure are not supposed to be a part of the guild rush. The irritated/territorial crabs run away when you use the second skill, the Reef drakes/riders? Nope..

There’s also problems with the traps. You don’t go near a trap and it goes off on you with no one else around.

And only 2/15 actually got to the end because they trailed behind everyone else getting knocked out of the rush.

I understand this is supposed to be a big group thing. But not even the guild that started the rush got through because of mob interference and trap bugs.

Ordinary mobs attacking you while you’re doing the Rush is part of the challenge. It works that way for other Rushes too. The key is to have “bodyguards” that clear out enemies along the way for the transformed rushers. I will agree that the Southsun rush is harder than usual due to the increased difficulty of the Reef Riders and Reef Drakes along the way though. (And if the wurm event is up in Onyx Fields when you’re trying to do the Rush you may as well forget it.)

Believe it or not, southsun guild rush seems somewhat easier imo with this patch

Other than the horrendous lag and trying to get people into one overflow, I don’t mind this rush. I’m glad our guild doesn’t need the merits right now, though, ‘cause getting an Anders bounty, the karka challenge or this rush isn’t friendly at all.
