Hi all

Yesterday when doing Stygian Veil we got to point 1 with a trapper team, then a ''very nice mob'' decided to follow us from point 1 to point 2...



Final result... TPK (Total Party Kill)

/happy

EDIT: We allready had completed the 1st quest...

just curious, why would you be at point 1?

If roles would have been reversed (you're the mob leader, chasing a few weak humans), would you have stopped to let them escape?

Why not go different directions, so not everyone get killed?

Yes, the fiends. They'll chase you till end of the world. There's one group of those on each side.

It's one of those things you need to know about the place.

The problem with trapper team is, that they have no utility. If traps fail, you're done, no way to recover. The mob is rather easy to tank, and those canyons are narrow, that's why trapping teams aren't the best choice. All out dps is much better for Veil.

Update - Friday December 15

Fixed a bug that caused some monsters to remain permanently aggressive toward their targets.


Maybe that was the problem...

Edit: thanks Anet for ''Trying to'' fix things...

Monster will chase u till u dead when ur hp really low
But when u stop running , sometimes they just stop chasing and ignore u then go back
