Ok, I’m going to list this as a bug because it simply HAS to be a bug..
In the Plains of Ashofrd (Level 1-15 Zone) there is a Skill Challenge East of the Acalon City Waypoint. This challenge is bugged to the point of near impossibility.
The challenge is guarded by about 10 Ghosts and 1 Veteran Ghost. As if that in itself isn’t enough, they all respawn in 20-30 seconds making the challenge impossible unless you have either a very large group of players or a smaller party with at least 1 high level. I tried for an hour today to get this skill point and it just can’t be done with a group of players that are at the level of this zone.
I believe the respawn times are either bugged or need to be adjusted, you can’t have the entire mob respawn in less then half a minute, that’s way over the top. I understand it’s supposed to be challenging, but this point is hard only because of poor game mechanics and not because of the design of the encounter.
Thanks.

just went to have a look at this to see what you ment.. yes it’s pretty hard considering im lvl 80 full exotic
one tip i can give for this solo (if you can that is) if you can run past everything, go straight for the skill challenge when you get there fight / rally off kills
it’s pretty intense with that method but atleast your not worrying about respawns also you miss alot of mobs that just run back cus they moved too far
hope that helps..
but seriously for people that level it would be near imposs solo for sure unless they want them to revisit that area at a higher lvl later with help..
Thanks for the suggestion, I did get the point eventually. Someone read this and offered to help using a fully geared 80 and we were successful. I have an 80 Guardian in full Exotic and she was able to do it as well. The encounter can be done, but considering it’s in a 1-15 zone, I’m assuming that it’s not working as intended. The Mobs can be beaten, but for a team of the ‘appropriate level,’ by the time you defeat 80% of the mob, the first one you killed is already respawning. The encounter design is fine, the thing that could use adjustment is the respawn times.
Big thanks to the kind person that read this and decided to give me a hand, that was really cool of you.

Another way to do this is to fight till the entrance then run all the way in. Click the skillpoint but don’t commune. It won’t be long before you are downed. Start communing. You should be able to get the skillpoint but will die after that. If you find you can’t fight thru, you can try this method.
