Guild Wars 2

Solo results (only NPC’s no other players)

I did this last night several times. First part, went fine except occasionally the npcs in my group stopped for a smoke, to talk, and stare in opposite directions. Finally we got the tower bit done. After which we had to get the parapets cleared. NPCs wanted to go for coffee, and I was the only one fighting. If you do the parapets out of whatever imagined order, the veterans go to half health, then reset and you have to start their battle over, and over. Okay a while later we got to the “Clear the courtyard” part. This is where it all falls apart. Veterans go in and out of invulnerability, their minions run up and play tag. They strike and reset (I stayed in red circle). Veteran brutes walk up and down the stone steps and are invulnerable. About halfway through this bit, the game crashed, and then again.. and again.. Out of memory error. Rebooted, nothing else running, 4 gigs of total ram, etc.. I play most AAA mmo’s in high res no problems. But who knows..

After the final battle with the dragon, I go to speak to the 3 npcs. Risen respawn and kill me, the npcs ignore them. I res, run back finish dialogue, and the screen flashes and shows me back in battle, on the ground etc.. then goes back to the proper scene. I hurried and got my reward, exited and logged out and in. All was fine.. Thank Lyssa..

If I was the senior developer I’d pull this quest/mission/thing until it’s fixed. But since I did finish I doubt they would. But as one coder to others, this is the buggiest part of GW2 to date. The rest has been fine.

It would seem Anet looked over the stats and saw too many wins, they decided as most mmo’s do, that too many wins is bad. Players happy, is bad. Make it harder, Devs Happy, players go elsewhere. EVERY MMO I have played does this.

From the heart, whomever thought this was a good idea, take away their decision making abilities. I’m serious, do it now.

I really thought Anet was different. Guess not. Strike 1.
