Guild Wars 2

So lately I’ve been rarely encountering the bloodstone wurm in Heathen’s Hold in Draconis Mons. Back then it spawned frequently but now you get lucky if you do get in one.

Part of the problem is that the mercenaries won’t spawn. Or rather, they spawn but not as fast. What bugs me is that only the mercs with cross-swords on their head count rather than the other mercs on the map within the event circle.

They should really fix this as certain collections and achievements are tied to it. I’m lucky enough to get them but still…

The worm always spawns. Always.
However, since the mercenary event bugs out (as you say: the mercs stop appearing sometimes), we sometimes have to wait a while before the boss appears. I think the longest I’ve been on a map between merc start and wurm spawn is just under an hour.

So wait it out or change maps (there are plenty for the moment), while ANet investigates the 13,187 reports (including at least a dozen forum posts) about this issue.

Definitely a bug, definitely should be fixed. At least there’s a work-around (even if it’s ugly & inconvenient).

w8 for anet to fix it
