Guild Wars 2

While running around in Gendarran Fields doing the “heart” event, I was standing near the Seraph that you give the care packages to when I was about to leave to continue doing the other things there, I was given a 12 hour cripple condition that stated it was given by a “Demoralized Seraph”. I was able to get rid of the condition, however is this a bug or something new that I am not aware of?

This happened in Lions Arch as well while walking in the Grand Piazza heading to traders waypoint.

Server: Sorrows Furnace (US)
Time: 12:42pm Server time.
Location: Ascalon Settlement , Lions Arch ( Grand Piazza)

You obviously picked up a condition that should be for a npc.
Nice bug.

Cool! I want to get an npc’s Unshakeable, or Determined!

That would be the passive effect of your Plague Signet.

Doesn’t seem right if he’s picking up conditions (esp. permanent ones) from NPCs… lol

True, I guess the bug is: that cripple should not be “white bordered”, therefore removable/cleanable. That way we would avoid picking it up with Plague Signet.
I wonder how many of these are there that might actually screw you up at a certain spot.

If One of my signets is picking this up, this must be something new. I’ve never picked anything up from an NPC. It blew my mind seeing that mess. It’s happened in Lions Arch as well. I don’t even have to be moving, just standing there, an NPC walks past with a condition and boom like sailor on shore leave in Bangkok, I catch something within seconds. lol
