Guild Wars 2

I dunno, do we really want the Lords to be solo-able?

I mean I know we can defend it decently but jeez its not hard to slip past the door and do the lord announcement causing 2-3 players on the other team to drop what they’re doing/3 cap them for like 10-15 seconds (maybe 20-30 points) for 1 player.

Defend the door/lord before your lord is getting attacked. In paid tournaments it´s not that easy to send someone for the door cause you would be fighting a 4v5 for this time, that means your whole team will fall behind, die and lose nodes. Good teams will notice when someone of the enemy team is missing. With good communication you know every enemies location at each time. Balancing around hotjoin just makes no sense.

Only unfair thing is, when you engage the one lord as a thief with stealth, you won´t get attacked by any npc´s and when you attack the other, you add 2 npc´s.
Npc´s fail at defending the lord when someone is stealthing through.

I dont do hotjoin (unless you consider pugging free tourny hotjoin)

What you said is true but I still think 1 player soloing boss is too much of an advantage, sometimes if you save the lord you have nearly no choice but to have someone guard the broken door/boss in which case it would make the game a 4v4, in which case could make the game a 3v4 if that same team sends someone else to go for their lord.

And thinking about that, I would have to say the Lord is probably not the problem, it’s the npc’s that guard that lords, I would say that they are too easy to take out.

Also onto your unfair point, I also think warrior is unfair because they get a free 15s rez to finish off the lord. And upon saying that, I think lords should be able to stomp.

ye this is fail from ANets side… Lord definitely should have group agro, when attacked he should call all remaining npcs

This ^ and it should be fixed…also a thief with a shortbow can instantly bypass all the lord guards…call in his double thief buddies and solo the lord before u can even make it back to the base….which im sorry is plain stupid =/ why have guards if theyre not going to actually defend lol…now if the placement was better where no matter what actions u took all 5 npcs attacked at once…it would cause for a much greater experience and difficulty, imo
