This has been causing enough issues, Mhenlo being stuck in Viz Square on chests, Deeprunner caught on bridge chests in snowman's lair, Gadd Being caught in chests in Finding the Bloodstone, even Rurik getting stuck on chests in places like Nolani....

This is annoying, especially when going for masters during vizunah.

makes good sense - i see no reason for chests to feature collision

abaddon's mouth bonus [releasing and following the ghost to her final resting place] is already so time consuming, but to have the ghost get stuck on a chest more than half way to her final resting place... so damn annoying.


fix please...

Yeah. Heroes, henchmen and any other ally following the party should have absolutely no 'bodyblock' for anything. They should be able to follow you through allied and neutral NPCs, chests and anything that is not part of the terrain, but Hostile NPCs and tameeable animals.

This also cincludes NPCs that you talk to and then they follow you.

It's really annoying to have to move aroind in waird ways when Kormir (she's the worst one about this) get's stuck around.

That's a no-brainer. Chest obstruction on Mhenlo in Viz Square is really quite irritating when I go for Master's.

I hate it when an NPC that we need gets stuck on some stupid chest. There have been many times when I've been like, "Where did Mhenlo/Rurik/Togo/etc. go?" and I find out they got stuck on a chest.

Although I never had that as a problem, I hear it happens a lot, guess I'm just lucky. And I don't want to see it happen to me .

- Bloodstone Fen bonus, the first Druid you awaken that has to take that long walk, sometimes gets stuck on a spawned chest (near the first set of jungle guardians)...(has happened to me 2-3 times on different characters while going for protector)

reasons:
1) NPC getting stuck in cases where time is the factor of gaining master reward.

2) NPC blocking your way when you are attempting an escape. ie: Komir.... she would just stand there and not move.

edit:
3) Tahnnakai Temple, could Arena Net please make it so the released souls won't get stuck once they are released, also when they get to the gate, please start the open gate process automatically without the players going towards them? Why? Because sometime we need to collect some loot, the timer is running and the released souls won't open the gate until you approach them, time wasted because of flaw game design :P

Isn't annoying when you are trying to go forward and you do not move at all?
You think that you are lagging, but then monsters come and attack, and you don't move...

...until you notice that stupid Kormir standing there, not moving even when you push with enough strength to break one of those barricades you break while under Ursan blessing.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Arborstone yet. Danika is 10x worse than all other NPCs about getting stuck on chests, seems like.

Of course this is a good idea.

/signed here as well.

That ghost character that follows you around in Shards of Orr does exactly the same thing. I'd feel differently if she ever lifted a finger to help, but noooo. Her job is just to get in your way -- and she's very good at it.

In fact, I find tagalong, body-blocking NPCs to be substantially more annoying than body-blocking chests (although those are annoying, too). I say fix them. Fix them all!

i still remember that late night long, long ago when leah stone got stuck on a chest in the lava bit on her way to the bonus in Abaddon's Mouth. I forced Dunkin Donut to heal her for about 5 mintues, somehow hoping she would break free and I wouldn't have wasted 45 minutes of my life, but alas, it was not meant to be, and in the end, SHE BURNED!

Seriously, why hasn't this been fixed, and why does nobody care?
Yesterday the druid for Bloodstone Fen bonus got stuck at a chest, forcing me to restart. And five minutes ago I raged because one of the spirits in Tahnnakai Temple got stuck at another chest, forcing me to restart again.

Ultimate annoyance. Remove collision from chests or remove chests from missions. But please do something about it...

It really irritates me when the game's already annoying AI is getting stuck here as well.

While they're at it they could remove those two stone logs from the starting points in the Echovald RA map, they often cause rubberbanding issues.

I got the Snowmen's Lair problem with Koris Deeprunner myself, and once saw it happen in Tahnnakai Temple, too. (Luckily I was there to cap, but I would have been FURIOUS if I was trying to go for Masters).

why not just make it so every time some one posts in this forum they have to use the POLL feature and just outlaw /sighned and /notsighned posts.

as for the topic at hand i would like to eather see this or a /stucknpc command. i would go as far to say this is one the things that is broken with HB

I would not stop in that. Any placeable (yellow name) and any allied creature that follows the party in PvE should have no bodyblock.
