Guild Wars 2

Rescue the villagers and defeat harpy kidnappers. A bug was patched yesterday (28th June 2016) that prevented this event from finishing properly. It now seems to be that the harpies guarding the captives are level 80 in a level 36 zone, they’re near impossible to kill even with a group of 3-4 people.

This has to be a bug. I don’t remember this event being so brutal before. I went here today to help someone with legendary collection. Something must have been broken when they fixed the other bug. Random event mobs shouldn’t be able to one shot people.

It’s a bug. There have been a few other threads about it, but no response from Anet yet.

It’s a feature due to ley line energy.

I find that extremely unlikely.
