Guild Wars 2

I’ve seen this problem get a lot better since the Beta, but I’m still having frequent issues with fighting alongside NPC’s.

Often times in my Personal Story, a large battle will be happening, but the NPC’s that are supposed to be helping me fight are literally doing nothing. Earlier today I did the Battle for Fort Trinity quest, and for the first few waves, the NPC’s stood in the middle of the field and died, while I frantically tried to fend off the undead hordes. Ultimately, I had to run away, re-approach, and slowly pick off the mobs until I could revive my allies.

Don’t get me wrong, that felt pretty cool. But, I also died at some point, and I would really have appreciated my allies actually doing something.

I also recall this happening earlier in my quest line, particularly with Logan, who had a bad habit of doing absolutely nothing while we were fighting a group of enemies. I’m not sure what the status is on this issue, but I for one have encountered it quite a few times lately.

Has anyone else been experiencing this as well? It certainly does make the story more challenging…
