Just to add. The best temporary fix for these silly situations is to just run and run to where I need to get to and then log to character screen. When you log back in the mobs are gone and you can go about your business. I use this quite excessively in Orr as its pointless trying to fight your way to anywhere.

Please fix this. It’s so annoying. I understood it when the game first launched but it’s not necessary anymore.

If you fight a champion in a reasonably crowded area then you are sure to fight the same respawns maybe 3 times. It’s completely breaking immersion and flies in the face of your speech on players actions making a difference.

Its also worth mentioning that it makes only one spec really viable for most professions . Too heavy dps and your going to get stung by respawns who will kill you quite quickly. Too heavy defence and it takes too long to cut through things meaning more respawns and frustration.

On Botting and What We’re Doing About It

Little bit annoyed that the one I reported almost 2 weeks ago is still at it.

I spotted Caribsoul again today in a cave in a different zone killing bats. I have decided to make him my personal nemesis.

I spent 2 hours today just pulling extra mobs onto him and vanishing. He would die, resurrect, run back to the cave and carry on only to immediately have me waiting with open arms and another wall of bats.

Eventually he left and I was kinda gutted and bored. I was totally invested in this project so I turned my attention to the 4 ranger train that had been doing the same bot path for the past 12 hours. Bit more challenging but fun none the less. Every now and then one would get too far ahead or too far behind and I took my opportunities well.

Engineer Turrets

Nothing drives me more mad than constantly putting out turrets. taking them down, putting them up and so on. it’s worst when I put them down and then the combat moves while fighting a champion for example rendering them useless.

The problem is that there is a cooldown inbetween. I understand if the turrets are exploded but could we not have a cooldown if we were to collect them back up manually.

Obviously this would have implications for them being collected before destroyed and then replacing them so perhaps a timer on their health regen while collected. If you place them immediately back down they still have the same health as before.

While playing solo I rely on my turrets quite a lot and there is a massive pause in between combat if I wait for their cooldown. Combined with the frantic respawn rate it is really tricky

Yeah I see the invisible combat would be weird. It’s a sacrifice I’d be ok with though. they could be visible while in combat or some crazy system I’m sure ArenaNet could come up with were they to try.

The server idea is good for certain places but it could/would be abused by larger guilds wanting the area to themselves for private RP sessions. It could also encourage not RPing out in the world which I think is some of the best stuff.

Piken Square is the unofficial RP server for EU. head that way if your server isn’t providing. I believe the large percentage of us are there although there are still pockets dotted about on other servers. The more we have over here the more we can push ArenaNet to make us official.

Particularly useful to the RP community this one but still valid for everyone else.

I am standing watching people blatantly ruin the RP of another guild by dancing and fooling around in between their military lines and it’s really annoyed me.

They were deliberately talking spam across the speech of the RPers to make it more difficult for them to follow.

This is really unfair in my opinion. They are ruining other peoples game for their own amusement and I think while block removes their text, it would be much better if block also removed their character from our vision.

While this example is a specific reasoning, there are multiple reasons why this is a good addition to the game including harassment, gold sellers etc etc.

Same. I’ve got 1 character to 80 and gathered just about everything I have seen along the way with a total of 7 chilli Peppers in my bank.

I’m finding bots everywhere I go so I thought it might be fun for us to share our videos of funny bots in action. I had to chuckle at the way this one was moving.

Please share your video links. will give me something to break from gaming.

The audacity of them farming right outside Divinitys Reach confounds me. 3 of them farming weak bloods off the skales there.

I reported them 3 hours ago and they are still going strong.

Blatantly bots. They keep disappearing and appearing at their next waypoint and have been going round in the same circle for hours. I have whispered them and no response whatsoever.

I need those bloods. i went further downstream and theres another one there doing the exact same thing.

Bloods are pretty cheap on the TP but they are mostly being sold by these goldfarmers so I am just funding the cause if I buy them.

Can you tone down the butter and chocolate?

Why can’t we make chocolate using milk and cocoa beans. Get oranges and apples from trees in orchards. Milk from cows by working on farms. Make butter from the milk. Supplies and interact-able farm animals can be limited.

This would be cool immersion. It would add events to farming and mini-games rather than grinding to profession items. This would make professions really fun and you could even consider ways to do this type of this across the whole game

Chains of Light - Guardian

Just a quick one. This spell is supposed to immobilise the target for 2 seconds.

Quite often I hit this and put a smite underneath them and they simply slide along the ground towards me with the chains still active.
