Guild Wars 2

Not sure if this is a bug or an actual change, but the shades at the Temple of Grenth now cause instant death with 25 stacks of corruption instead of instant downed. Seems like this change occurred around the time of the big update on April 15th. It almost makes this event impossible with a lot of people (megaservers) because the shades quickly overwhelm the room when its scaled up and we constantly need to rez at a waypoint due to corruption death. Before the update, we at least had a chance to rally (or even get rezzed by allies) if downed by the corruption… now it’s pretty much instant death and a bunch of dead bodies piling up at the temple

Seems like a bug to me. I’ve been downed in there a great number of times in the past and actually done significant damage while downed or at least I’m able to hold out for quite a while so other can make it back from the nearest waypoint. As of roughly the 15th, instant death.

Tried it again today. Same problem again. Some think its a bug and others believe its an intentional change from ANET… just wondering if we can get some kind of response.
