Guild Wars 2

Basically what the title says. I started my 4th beta character and wanted to try some out of the box ideas. Once the “Survive until daybreak” section of the mission starts, you can go off and stand somewhere safe and the NPCs will happily and efficiently kill all the mobs for you. This includes the boss, where the only interaction I had to do was to guide my biconic team over to him when they spawned on top of me after the cutscene.

I’m hoping this is just a beta thing and that Anet is aware of the problem, but just in case, there you go. I’m all for having helpful NPCs, as long as they aren’t invincible and can actually be downed, rather than being able to do whole mission steps for you.

In the final release you’ll have Trahearne to help you.

it’s beta, they don’t want the gate mission to the rest of the map to be too punishing for a completely new class, when most of the content is beyond the bottleneck.
they probably will up the difficulty a bit before release.
