Guild Wars 2

There are several scattered posts on this but I can’t find any comment by Anet. If the party wipes it is almost impossible to finish. Simple enough, if the party wipes the Chanters and everything else should reset.

I personally disagree. A lot of other encounters have adds that don’t go away due to a wipe. e.g. Kholer in AC, Vines in TA, dredge fractal. A party wiped due to a mistake in some part, and whatever mistake was made they have to live with it, replan and/or correct it.

Truth be told on the higher lvls I sometimes enjoy when something goes wrong and the wrong chanter gets killed and all heck breaks loose. Then it takes real teamwork and everyone pulling their weight.

I imagine 5 naked warriors could visit Kholer, take 10s or so to burst him down to 75% then died. Do it in 15 min, they will have a picture of Kholer with around 200 adds. Do it in 1hr, at worst, Ascalon will have full army of Kholer running amok outside the dungeon. At best, they could got stuck in the ceiling like those Kraits in fractals.That would be fun.

For the Cliffside specific, if those chanters could run around like headless chicken after being killed, anything is possible. If I could, the running chanters should be nominated for the most imaginative award of the year. Every time I saw that happened, I kept wondering what were so boring in fractals that they have to hurry home.
