Ouch. I'd never have imagined something like that was possible.

Lol yeah that chest thing is pretty messed up seeing as how they have no life or can't move or anything of the sort

I'm guessing it must have been some sort of physics problem - no two objects being allowed to occupy the same space simultaneously. So when the boulder eclipsed the chest, the chest ceased to exist. When the boulder moved from the location, there was no code to regenerate the chest. But that's just a hypothesis.

I bet if a boulder ran over a xunlai chest the boulder would explode.
Those chests are super powerful.

Maybe so, but Xunlai Agents would still freak out and send us on quests to destroy all of the world's boulders.

The bug with Charrslaying weapons crafted from the Ebon Vanguard is that they don't do max damage to anything besides Charr.

The chests are level 24, they'd get up and start casting creature skills on the thing. (Of course, after the second chest used Rebirth on the first...)

Because lots of people are too lazy to go to www.guildwars.com to check the recent updates?

While on guru, why would you want to open another browser/tab, type in the whole url, and click a button? I mean like, with guru actually loading, that would be a complete waste of time.

How disappointing. I guess we're not getting that balance update after all. And I was hoping to dance on the corpses of some rits and/or thumpers this week-end.

Not to paint the engine redder than it already is, but give us the damn Hard Mode for GWEN already!

Awkward.


anyway, poor old chests. Maybe the boulders are the great enemy in GW2? and we will have to venture into the underworld and fight shiro, the lich, abaddon, the great destroyer and the army of marauding boulders.

Boulders are just a free teleport to the nearest res-shrine or temporary invincibility IMHO. Lack of Death Penalty FTW.

Apparently not for chests though.

They need to change boulders, so they /rank players after they run them over.
I'm not sure why. But it must be done.

don't the chests that pop up have a Level 1 when you select them? or do they not do that anymore?

That makes sense now - the non max gold item dropping from chests in GWEN.
If you where going to stash your super max gold item - would you put it in a chest that could be squashed - no
Hopefully with this fix wandering NPCs , creatures etc will feel confident to put some max gold items in chests now they will not get crushed - I think this is the fix for bad chests drops I've been waiting for

Actually, Light Of Deldrimor chests have green lettering like NPCs. A more believable explaination is that they were killed because they are NPCs, just like minipets.
