Guild Wars 2

The first time I went through this zone there was a million other people running around the centaur camps area in the northeast, so there was no issue in getting the last Skillpoint

Now that the game is empty, it’s a different story, though. There’s about 500 Centaurs clustered around the skill point summon (which is to kill a veteran mob), and each of these 500 Centaurs has a 0.0001 second respawn timer. They litereally spawn faster than you can kill them

Is this a joke?

Edit: LOL, don’t worry guys, I got the skill point again. All I had to do was wait around for enough people to show up, since in Guild Wars 2, skill = having enough warm bodies

It could be a bug. I doubt it is meant to have that many of them in one spot. Unless it is their main village? I haven’t travelled far into that zone yet.

No, it’s pretty much as he describes. Respawn rate everywhere is over the top, but that place in particular, without 20 people or more, not gonna happen.

Its basically the HQ of the centaurs – hence the massive DE there – so yeh its a pretty tough area for 1 or 2 people, i recommend tagging along with some randoms, or wait for the DE to pop up, and scoot off to the Skill Point just before or after the fight.

Well I do get your point, that respawn timers are a bit excessive, and there are some places that require multiple people to complete. However, for that particular place all I can say is get stronger haha. I soloed the area, completing 100% with no help from friends, guild, or randoms.

I also noticed that respawn rates are pretty fast the last few patches. My hunch is that this is a bug. Probably the codes that were adjusted or added for the diminishing returns, dungeon farming, and related stuff, affected the respawn rate too.

And it probably is related, because the respawn rate wasn’t as fast as it is now before those diminishing return-anti-farming-anti-dungeon-farming patches were added.

But not all areas are like that, there are just some that you haven’t stepped far yet and here they are again – veterans even.

Yeah the respawn rate did seem a bit excessive, but so did the number of teleporting nimwits I saw in the area. I wonder if their exploit is having an impact on the game code.

I grabbed the skill point during the event when there were lots of folks around (and netted a bunch of crafting materials and a couple of rares). The other centaur camps weren’t nearly as bad, although I did get trampled by a huge group that spawned for a different event when I was trying to get to a POI (didn’t die even though, I have given some though in my build to getting out of untenable situations).

Just wait for the DE to start.

I thought the joke was that it sounds like Arathi Highlands.

Coincidence? I think not. :P

Some of the Sp are/need multiple Players to get To – No way to get to them solo, the respawn rates are Just Too high/fast for single players, been a few times i just get to the

Location and thiers too many mobs, thier to get to solo – But i think its Intended that some need several players to get to.

Initially I thought the same as the OP, then realised that a number of these Skill Points and POI’s seem to be set in areas where a major DE occurs, so it’s just a case of waiting until the DE event. I guess it’s not a bug, but as designed if this is the case.

I don’t know what happens when the number of players in an area reduces. I guess there will be enough alts and new players to keep the numbers up?

I’ve told you a million times not to exaggerate.

Your right to post on the forum is a joke.

It is indeed a joke. A joke on the Arathi Highlands which is right next to the Hinterlands.
