Guild Wars 2

Anet, all your temporary content kittening sucks and serves as a lame way to create a veil that your game actually has meaningful endgame content. The only good thing you’ve put into the game since release is fractals, and even that isn’t right. Your harpies are impossible to pass, and they all go invulnerable constantly. You need to start worrying about the important things and not slapping little dragon pinatas for hours on end.

They go invulnerable because you reflect their projectiles from too far away. Solution? Don’t use reflects!

And where is this listed that this is one of their mechanics?

It’s not their mechanis, it’s an anti-exploit mechanic because in the past people were attacking bosses/mobs from higher ground. You have to thank them for that.

Just skip past em with stealth and gg. And yes they go invurnable a lot, even when you’re meleeing them. That goes for a lot of stuff in fractals actually, on Cliffside as well.

And yea this game has no endgame.

Also I have no idea where harpies magically get a giant ball of lightning from. It’s like a desperate way of trying to make platforming harder.

They have it from lvl 10 and above it’s a pain…

They go invulnerable sometimes even if you’ve never attacked them from exploit positions. It really is a case of the mobs exploiting the players and yes it should be fixed instead of putting yet more dredge into the dredge fractal!

Certain harpies will go invulnerable if hit even one platform away with targeted AoE. While this is certainly annoying, it can be dealt with. The real problem is that once they have gone invulnerable, they stay invulnerable until you die or manage to leave the area. The frequency of their knockback attack is also too high for some professions to deal with.
