Guild Wars 2

There’s a persistent bug in WvW that makes a specific NPC invincible. I’ve only seen it at the Garrison at the center of the Borderland maps. This bug makes it impossible to successfully assault the garrison.

Please consider removing the problematic NPC until the bug can be resolved! Heck, I’d even be happy if garrisons were disabled as a claimable point entirely until the bug can be fixed. The fact that we can’t assault the garrison is a minor annoyance, and by itself we could live with this. However, communicating this fact to all the players on the WvW map is simply not possible. We end up wasting lots of manpower on a futile and frustrating bug, over and over. Even with repeated and frequent discussion of the bug in map chat, team chat, and local chat, significant groups of people go try to assault the garrison every 5-15 minutes, then ask about how to kill the invincible mob, then get angry and occasionally leave to a different WvW map. I was in WvW on a map with a broken garrison last night, and at least one fellow in map chat was getting slightly hysterical over the incredibly high frequency of this cycle.

It doesn’t seem to give the team who benefits from the bug any huge advantage, but it sucks up an inordinate amount of manpower from the other teams because it tends to look like the “perfect opportunity” – an undefended, strategically located keep, often already badly damaged.

At this point, I’ve seen more bugged garrisons than ones working normally, so it can’t just be our bracket.
