Guild Wars 2

I am seeing complaints elsewhere that invisible walls (like the one that’s appeared in Viathan Lake) are a sign of dev laziness. I don’t necessarily agree with this concept—after all, there are several NPC’s nearby talking about mesmers and illusions—but it brought something to mind from another game I played.

The game in question was LOTRO. When the Mirkwood expansion was still in development, players were discouraged from swimming across the river to investigate the forest by what I called “SuperOrcs”. These were orc archers who could one-shot any player who ventured into their range. So, if it’s not a mesmer illusion we keep bouncing off of in that lake, how would it be if we ran into supercharge krait guards or worse, the furious Blood Witch herself?

Just throwing it out there.

• Stealth
• Run past them
• ???
• Profit

They can have crab pets with Sic Em
And invisible floating traps

Doesn’t work, in the example I cited. My hobbit burglar tried, they zeroed right in on her.

You would rather get one shotted instead of a push back? They have this concept where the sinister triad is where a gate is guarded by lvl 80s in a 25 zone. I would not like to have to repair and waypoint whenever I go to the edge of the map
