Henchmen
I know that situation all too well ;( Skuld  10:07, 25 April 2006 (CDT)


 * Even though this is probably the 100th time they do it to me, it never fails to drive me nuts each time. A testament to the engineering prowess of some very evil developer in ANet. :) I am fairly certain now that those guys never actually play the whole game. I am guessing they PvP against each other to test skills and the like, but I am pretty certain they never get on the actual servers to try and go through the whole game and finish it. Some of the AI bugs are catastrophic. (And filing bugs about henchie AI to their support center results in a request to go talk on game forums about the problem, much like the FoW request I did on Guru.) The game is technically very impressive, but the AI of the henchies is very bad, at best. --Karlos 10:21, 25 April 2006 (CDT)


 * I think everyone can relate to this one. My favorite is when I was to retreat and regroup; several of the henchies will just stand their ground to the end, even though all of their support is now an aggro circle or two distance away.  Getting through the majority of the missions with only henchmen is do-able; but extremely frustrating in needing to get just the right spawn, and at times flat out lucky in order to complete them.  Travelling the explorable areas between them to skill cap can be an excercise in futility at times, and is borderline impossible in some areas.  Instructions to "stand ground", "follow me", or "attack" would seem relatively low-level simple commands that could be incorporated relatively easilly. --161.88.255.140 11:37, 25 April 2006 (CDT)
