Why does Ambassador Zain Heal Devourers? - Guild Wars Forums

Void Assassin · Apr 14, 2006, 09:25 PM // 21:25

Why does Ambassador Zain heal devourers outside of Ascalon City?
He uses Heal Other on the devourers. Is he supposed to do that?
Does he have a kind heart for devourers?

Play NC says this is not a bug. Why? It's pretty gay how they just continue to ignore me with these premade answers.

I have tested it. It turns out that Ambassador Zain is using Heal Other on enemy units. An attatched screenshot is shown. Ambassador Zain is using Heal Other on the Plauge Devourer.

Ambassador Zain used an Orison of Healing on me, Then he used a Heal Other on the Plauge Devourer!
He would not have used Heal Other on me because, as you can see he is casting, and I am already at full hp.
Why would the npc use Heal Other on a Full HP ally? It's not, beacause it is using Heal Other on the enemy!

Can you please fix this glitch?

Ambassador Zain is casting a spell as seen in the attatched screen shot. There is no white ring around him to symbolize the casting of heal area. Imediatly after Ambassador Zain's Casting Animation the carrion devourerer is healed to it's full health. Previously, GM Moggie, tells me that Ambassador Zain is casting heal area. This is not true as I have proven. Is Ambassador Zain intentionally supposed to heal both enemies and ally's?

Heal area is not the reason the devourer is being healed.

Ambassador Zain was no where near the enemy that was being healed. The enemy was a devourer. There were no grawls near by. I never saw Ambassador Zain use a heal area spell.

Why does Ambassador Zain heal enemy creatures? Is this a glitch?

It's a bug. He used to not do that. I guess one of the recent updates screwed his head over. The same glitch is present with the Priest Alkar who has a quest in the Sorrow's Forge.

It's because he's, like, a devourerphile... A sick individual who gets turned on by chitinous shells, clicking, hissing, and gets REALLY distracted by Distracting Shot.

Stormlord Alex · Apr 14, 2006, 11:31 PM // 23:31

And, 'cuz I'm far too lazy to read that whole PlayNC thing... I wouldn't say it's a bug, as such.

Think - when you go out into an area, there is your party, the bright green dots, whom you can heal; enemies, the red dots you poke with your sword; and allies, pale green (yellow?) who are a neutral faction, and you can heal as well.

MAYBE... to Ambassador Zain, your party is a whole bunch of pale green dots, and all them devourers are pale green dots, as well... It'd explain why he heals them, why they don't attack him, AND why he don't hit them with his stick all in one. You dig me?

He's an Ambassador .... a diplomat. He has been standing out there all this time trying to build an alliance with the Devourer, and here you come along trying to kill them! Inconsiderate Tyrian humans ..... bah!

...what's the big deal? Tbh, I'd be pretty mad if I got a support ticket like that.
