Guild Wars 2

For almost two years, Crusader Angaria is still unable to active the beacons near Shank Anchorage to complete the event. Even worse, your recent updates prevented further Risen from spawning near Crusader Angaria, leaving players to do nothing for 4 minutes and stand around in silence.

If you are unable to fix the bug involving Angaria and the beacons, perhaps change her behavior or the objective so that players do not have to wait out 4 minutes until the next event starts.

Two years? Maybe you mean a few months (since the mega server update).

I do agree it’s extremely annoying as the other nearby events complete ahead of the time limit, thus leaving an artificial delay between the end of pre-Arah and the beginning of the assault on the promenade.

I’d prefer to see Angaria’s event fixed (as it was one of the funnest and most profitable farming events in Orr). Alternatively, remove her event temporarily until a suitable replacement can be found. There is something unsavory about people asking that Angaria be allowed to die, to increase the amount of time for farming.

Nope. I mean two years, because that’s low long the bug existed.

It’s been bugged for as long as I’ve been in Orr – about 3 months after launch – so 2 years would seem pretty much right. It only ever completed a few times after a patch/reset/maintenance before she eventually just sat around doing nothing after the event chain had run it’s course a few times.

I’m pretty certain that the recent change that removed the additional spawns while she sits around bugged was a very intended nerf to a formerly very popular exploit-y farm.

Prior to 4/15, it was very easily possible to get 45-70 heavy moldy bags from Arah events, the bulk being from the 8 minute long bugged Angaria spawns.

It has never worked properly, even before megaservers, aside from a few rare exceptions, luckily it is not needed to progress the chain, since its used more to farm, so a lot of players go to it, scale the mobs, and make it harder to complete. It can actually be completed with a small group.
