Hall of Heros fix please :)

It has come to my attension that there is not a glitch, but something wrong with dying at the end of a victorious win due to the spirit eoe.

For all that do not know, when the timer runs out in hoh, everyone on the map dies except the winners and everyone that has died on the winners team after time has ran out resses with 300(somewhere around that) life ( no way.... I know sorry to make some of you feel completely stupid now for telling you this info ).

Spirits on the other hand, if they are on the opposing team, take effect just seconds after the timer has ran out. Eoe in particular does this alot which is quite annoying.

I know i know, why are you complaining? thats the spirits job, to trigger on deaths of anyone on the map.

Well after the win sign comes up and we res, everyone else dies, and eoe kills almost everyone that has just been ressed.( eoe is doing major damage here. ex. most eoes are doing 40 dam. 2 teams lose. 40*16=640 damage)

Now we all know some spike teams like to bs around with the holding team, killing off some memebers before the 3 or 2 minute mark. This means resses are used doing that time. This means at the end, when a eoe *might* be down, people on the winning team that dies due to this might not be ressed to pick up their drops from the hoh chest.

And heres a picture of this exact thing happening to me...

i lol'd that day. but in the end i didn't really care as it wasn't a ces.

Now im not complaining about this but Anet can you possibly make it so that spirits such as edge do not do their effects when time runs out on alter matches such as the halls so everyone can have their fare chance to pick up their item.
I hope Anet see this
please and thankyou,
Klmpee
p.s. comments are appreciated if you have ahd the same thign ahppen to you and you want it fixed

Considering that is griefing, it should be changed. I mean it's one thing to gank a team with eoe to take the win, it's another to gank the team with eoe after they've won so they cannot take their spoils.

I perosnally don't think its ON purpose though.. they just need to fix the fact that eoe effects take effect once timer has ran out.

Ya, this happened to my team once. Luckily I was still alive to get my sigil, but everyone else remained dead. It's definitely not supposed to be like this so hopefully they will fix it.

They need to do the same with minions. My group was fighting an MF, not in HoH, but we killed their MF first, and when the group eventually was eliminated, the minions started running around and killed 1 of our teammates. The loss of morale isn't too bad, but it still is significant.

What the shit is an MF?

Minion Factory. It involves two teams of a; saccer, minionmancer, and resmer(fast cast mesmer with hard res) and two trappers.

Minion factory.
Doh, Gen. Typhus beat me to it.

Oh that's what threw me right off. I read minions as missions.

im fairly new to hoh and its spoils of victory. what exactly is "giant's boots"?

oh, and wouldnt it show up in reserved items window when you zone back to HoH. it does that in PVE, why not PVP too?

With a question like that, you seem to be new to the entire game.

It's a loot drop when you kill Giants.

mmm... please fix, very troublesome.

That's happened to me often; it's a game mechanic that could easily be fixed, and stop a lot of frustration.

Perhaps this should be in Sardelac.

In PvE you zone back to a common area. HoH is not a common area.

Yeah I noticed this too and it really is BS...

You should all res, or have a window to get your items or something.

What is the chest if most people cannot get to it after an EoE spike, or if you are dead?

Yeah - it's pretty crap when such happens, it happened to a team I was in, few of us survived, myself included... not like I got one of the drops anyway, but some people couldn't collect their items

I hate that with a passion. had it happen while we were holding 3 times in a row. and yes it is done on purpose because igay and other crap builds that bring it cant win so they want to screw you over because u had the better build. gg

This should be fixed. I have had this happen to me 3 times and 2 out of the 3 times I had a sigil. I was so mad. The only way to make a profit with PVP and I couldn't obtain my reward. I have screenshots. I also seen the effect of EOE happen on relic runs. When the opposing team dies because you captured more relics, they die and cause a bomb.

once agian, i really do not think this is the true problem about players WANTING to screw winning players by not picking up drops. they MAY just want to eoe bomb the map, kill the hero, and take alter. obviously that prob doesnt happen and is left up till end of match.other iways i think just place the spirit because its part of their build.

This is just another one of the parts of the game that ARE broken, but A.Net ignores it.

gg here comes chapter 2 and yet another thing is not fixed in game.

Pardon my noobishness, but if someone on your team has a res sig or hard res still available, can they not use it to bring you back up?

For a random pug I would think you might get some item-ninjas that won't let you at your drops, but friends/guildies/any team good enough to take halls in the first place I would think should res you back ... *shrug*

Its not that a big deal. You rarely get any decent dropped anyway. And the chances of being killed by IWAYs eoe more than once in a run is low.

Yeah right, who needs sigils anyways :-P

And yes, Anet is aware of the situation, dunno if something is gonna get changed or not but in the meanwhile, let's work around with the grief.

xD

Lol. They only sell for like 12k anyway >.>

I'm not saying anyone wants to miss out on drops, but I don't think this is a huuuuuuuge problem.

this was my guild. and people were dead that had sigil drops.. so i dont mind not getting ressed because they had sigils.. but in all fairness for eveyone to be able to pick up their drop they need to fix this not really a bug glitch.
p.s no one carries hard res in halls >.>
