The Vizunah Square mission has an incredibly annoying bug. It is possible for Tojo and Mhenlo to get stuck (In multiple places, in fact), and later you get to a door which (I assume) one of them needs to open for you. This has happened to me three times now...

Attempting to cast spells onto an enemy Assassin with Shadow Form produces the message: "Target is protected by Spellbreaker"

I dunno if this is a bug or not, but its really annoying.

Healer Hench is practicing being a spectator hench, she wont heal me unless i stand perfeclt still and not move or attack, even if im next to her, and no1 else on my team is hurt, I got Conjur Phantasm on me, she wasnt hurt, only me nd her, and stood next to her while I died.

Also the henchmen don't follow my targeting, If i'm alive they will go for the one I want for a moment, then split off and take a seperate enemy each, when I die they tend to switch targets every few seconds between them.

Finally a Rit spell out there the one that delays then hits enemy plus adjacent foes seems to, whenever its cast on me, do a ludicrous amount of damage and kill me and my party in one, even if no DP

thats all i can think of for now.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

after the first download of the upcoming factions head start event, i began experiencing a bad sound quality with the game. at the same time i was using Ventrilo. the sound was that of a cave and caused the game sounds as well as the vocals of other vent players to have an echo. i was one of 3 others on that vent server experiencing that prob. i ran the game without vent and then minimized the game to use the internet and you could still hear the echoing sound. All of this began taking place after i logged on to the updated game. i dont know if this has been dealt with but i just wanted to let you know.

Plz fix - thanks
Just want to echo this post. I'm used to the henchmen lagging behind but running through the city streets it's gotten even worse. I have to constantly wait for them to catch up as they struggle to make it around all the corners and obstacles around the way.

And now I will echo yours. This is a horrible problem..and needs to fixed ASAP. I have died a few times due to this. But maybe dying is better than having them get left behind and not noticing because you are so focused on navigating...and looking out for all those enemies that pop out of nowhere..only to find that they are so far off your map that they can't even be selected. Usually this wouldn't be a problem but in certain areas there are so many farkin green dots on the map..locating the ones that are your henchies becomes a pain.

I can't remember the OP...but someone mentioned that henchies don't follow calls. I too am having this problem. It makes it slightly difficult to kill things when they are all attacking a different target. It doesn't always happen though, it seems to be sporadic.

Something ive noticed while I play in cantha is that I cant use weapons that is in my storage from tyria. I tried to put my fiery dragon sword on my new warrior but it didnt want to. Anyone else experienced it ?

Did you double-check to make sure the item isn't customized?

When using Generous was Tsungtai, sometimes your energy drops to zero, and isn't restored until you drop the ashes. Makes it very hard to use skills that are more powerful when holding an item

This is not a bug. It happens because holding ashes makes you lose any weapon/off-hand bonus you previously had. So if you have 30 health, and use an Item Spell while wearing a +30 Fortitude mod, you will get 0 health, and thus die. Also, if you have a +12 energy focus, you will get 12 less max energy when holding ashes.

Has anyone else done this quest? It says to find reinforcements along the way that will help you take down Quimang. However, none of the guards will follow you, nor will they go anywhere near the guild hall. Without them, I'm guessing u need a full party of higher level players as henchies are only level 6 out of Tsumei. For refence, the mobs near Quimang are all level 7-8 with level 15 leaders. It does say only those that are strong should do it (aka Henchies need not apply :-). Has anyone had much trouble doing it will a full party of PCs? For the soloists out there, I wouldn't spend much time doing this by yourself. Take a full party of people from the get-go..

I didn't want to submit a bug report and waste their time before I found out the community's feeling on it (maybe its just supposed to be that tough).

EDIT: The Gardens area has level 10 henchies. You can take 3 of them (I took healer, ritualist/spirits, and shock) and run them down to the peninsula. Afterwards, just head straight south and take out the mobs slowly one by one (I suggest the center valley inside the guild hall). You just have to kill Quimang, his personal healer, and the other one in his mob in order to succeed. I was level 14 I believe (A/W), so 14-10-10-10.

I managed it - Apparently the group with mhenlo has to not run past the Am Fah mobs - has to kill them all, and someone else said not to skip the cutscene. We did both (killed all and watched the cutscene) and it worked.

Hi,
This is the bug that I'm experiencing.
I get no music/sound whenever I'm in Faction's world.
In cinematic in the beggining of the movie I hear nothing..I didnt hear them talking.
Whenever I travel to Faction's from LA and have vent on .. my vent would stop working ie:no sound but I see the green light blinking.
This bug only happen whenever I landed first in Faction from the login screen and/or after whenever I travelled from LA and landed to Factions side of world.
I can hear the footsteps only but I DO NOT hear anything else.
I've read previous treads and it seems some people have the problems also.
I've email GW support but they're not helping much .. assuming that I dont know how to use the option thing under music.
It really sucks being in Faction and not being able to use vent.
And everything would go back to normal if I restart GW and not go to Faction anymore. But as soon as I travel to Faction side .. everything is bug again.
PLEASE ... ANET FIX this
I have no problem with the sound in the GW prophecy, just in Faction.
And I have Audigy 2ZS Gamer Edition. P4 2.8Ghz 2Gb RAM XPPro with ATI 6700XT All in Wonder.
Hope that helps

Minor bug: 4 assassins poped up. 3 of them were fighting as usually, with daggers. But the 1st one stood back and attacked with a staff! However, he was using assassin skills (dagger mastery)!

(Yes, he was really an assassin: according to his name and the skills used)

I don't know if anyone else is having these problems..or if it's considered a bug or not. But last night while I was in the underground city with henchies, I noticed two things.

1. When henchies die they block the route so there is no escaping...one died in front of me and one behind. There was room to move...but I couldn't get around their bodies. It ended up happening a few times in different areas. Needless to say, as a result of this I ended up dying.

2. Sister Tai? ...(can't remember the healer henchies name right now) doesn't appear to have much love for the tengu henchman.....often thimes she refuses to rez him. I don't know the reasons for this..she is right in front of his corpse but won't rez..it's not an energy issue, as I waited for a good 5 mins or so... on a few occasions just to see what she was going to do.

Ive retraced steps talked to NPC's and am told to talk to the lift guy to get there,,, once there the Kurzick gatekeeper wont let me in.

I need to talk to Togo to get Quests but he's buggered off... can anyone help?

Anyone had same problem?

I've had Random arena do this to me before. Usually if I go to another area like team arena then check the map, then Random arena will be back.

Still poor planning from ANet, they release the patch and boom you can buy armor with all the new goodies on Ch1 side, but if you got it before the patch you have to wait for a patch to do the update for your armor.

Something I've noticed...

- I wont get swords on the map after completing Unwaking waters mission even that I get em in the end cinematic.
- Faction Rewards guys refuse to talk (dunno if this a bug or something else).
- Henches get very easily stuck with NPCs and that's very annoying.
- Ritualist boss with warrior aura... (area: Mourning Veil Falls... if I remember right)

Vizunah Square - Mhenlo and Togo don't follow sometimes, they just stand back at the arena where you first fight. If you run past the assassin groups to reach Togo to save him, apparently they [Mehno and Togo] won't continue with you.

If they don't follow, the gate won't be opened after the 3rd area of fighting, where they tell the guard to open up. It's a pretty bad bug.
