Guild Wars 2

When walling Lupi, do his swarms no longer spawn behind the wall?

What I’ve noticed recently is a lot of swarms spawn adjacent to the wall; they stay immobile and invulnerable for a while, but eventually come out to attack you. On my last run, I tried to notice if any swarms spawned behind the wall and I didn’t see any.

I don’t know why this happens, but I can confirm this. Probably an accident fix…

It was obviously such a game breaking bug that it needed to be fixed. /s

Yeah, but the bone wall on alphard isn’t worthy of a fix. Clearly the locusts were more important.

Gotta stop those silly mesmers from soloing lupi.

Noooo, you mean you don’t enjoy 3-4 locusts spawns (twice) that kill all of your illusions!?!? Pfft, you see, it was clearly unintended, soloing is clearly an exploit, so you better start playing as intended and dust off your greatsword and pugging skills.
Make sure not to say anything offensive or hurtful in the lfg, so no “zerk”, “meta” or “ap” allowed.

It’s a change that happened as a result of something backend. It’s the same reason why the wolves st mossman spawn at that specific point now. I’m not entirely sure it is an accident that these changes took place however.

Guess it’s a good thing I don’t really solo anymore :P

I don’t think they ever fixed Lupi’s bugged AA either, did they?

That is.. arguable, since it was a lil weird that his aa(s) didn’t hit at all in melee range. Still, havent’ they said something like “we’re monitoring” and then did nothing?
Yeah, that’s anet for you. We don’t even know what is “intended” and what isn’t until they do something about it, and even then they may change their minds all of a sudden!
Offtopic, next time I’m soloing a fractal for the hell of it and decide to go “aahhh, let’s see what happens if I kill the molten berserker for last, I’m curiouss”, hit me really kitten the head with alphard’s bone—- bonewall.

God, they started censoring hawd again…. -_-

Could be than they simply added a LoS requirement to boss pet summon locations. Can you still bug Korga to prevent her gorilla pets summon when facing a wall?

The resurrect skill from Korga doesn’t work based off of LoS; it simply revives any corpse that’s within the ring. You can rush completely out of range right when he begins the skill so that when he finishes, he stands still in combat stance for about 5 or so seconds (or whatever it takes for him to get bored and reset) and once he deaggros, the elite gorillas will despawn.

EDIT: Eh you were talking about LoS though so okay, if you stand behind a wall but still within aggro range of Korga, then the adds will still spawn— they always do. They will just run around the wall before attacking, like all other mobs.

Oh, guess I misunderstood the mechanic then. I thought that Korga summoned gorillas, not resurrect dead ones.

And by LoS I guess I didn’t exactly mean LoS but rather as in you can walk to the target location without needing to jump over obstacles/gates.

Ahh ok.

Yeah he just resurrects any of the corpses around him as long as they’re within the white ring that appears during his resurrect skill.

Also when you kill an elite gorilla that’s been revived or if you run out of range for it to despawn, the corpse will respawn in any location throughout that vast area (starts and ends at around the same points you see spiders when running to the last boss of p1).
