I liked it.

I had to go down to give the car keys to my uncle while doing the mission. I thought the mission would be finished and people would flame me. I come back to find them all dancing - we then chat and have a nice laugh while somebody escorts her. We then finish the mission and add each other to the friends list.

thats my experience xD, not sure it would be so good with H/h

This is a mission where you have to amuse yourself while an NPC walks.

You have to amuse yourself by doing something else while playing a game.

That is a failure of design.

I don't hate Leah, she's just literally lame...

correct me if i am wrong but isnt she meant to go slow, so you can actually have time to kill enemies on the way to grave...
i dont think the game can tell that area has been cleared already..so it sticks with original programming.

This is somehow a different situation than say, the Frost Gate bonus where the NPC just follows your group? Or any situation where they join your party and follow at your pace?

yes agree with that too...there are many quests and missions where NPC should be in teams Allies list..

I LOVE THIS NPC!!!

This was the mission I used to initiate Officers into my guild, they had to play escorte for the ghost while the rest of our party went on to complete the mission.

Ah the good old days.....

As I posted in the other thread, definitely the most reviled NPC in the game, IMO.

I normally get a chuckle or two when I PuG that bonus, when I exclaim...

"I'm using 'Hurry the F*** Up!' on Leah Stone!"

Totally annoying. /signed on put her in the group and make her follow you. It alleviates the issue of slow wander if you cleared the path already or if you decided to bring her and kill along the way you know how to take care of her.

Either way, not a hard bonus at all, just agonizingly slow when you are waiting for her molasses footed rear end to get out of the fort

Darksun · Jan 28, 2008, 08:56 PM // 20:56

The group idea sounds good. It seems pointless to have her go so slowly & walk around in circles.. they can just set her like the ghostly hero... can follow or stay..

I suppose they wanted people to have the time to kill the stuff in front of her while she walked, but honestly she starts moving quickly after the fortress, so what's the problem with getting right to the point from the beginning?

quickmonty · Jan 28, 2008, 08:58 PM // 20:58

She was intentionally programmed that way to bug people. ANET is dissappointed that it took this long for anyone to complain. You people are slower than Leah Stone!

Laylat · Feb 11, 2008, 04:26 AM // 04:26

I guess she wasn't too bad... The annoying part was when she goes up the stairs and then turns back (as if to agro the <hopefully defeated> Mursaat group). I guess if you're an Ele (or sub Ele), you could always use Windborne Speed on her

This is my first post, by the way.

fenix · Feb 11, 2008, 04:28 AM // 04:28

I just go ahead, kill everything, walk back and get her, then talk on vent for 30 mins till she gets there. Easyyyyy.

Snow Bunny · Feb 11, 2008, 04:40 AM // 04:40

I make hot, passionate, fiery love to her every time I set foot into her place, so no, I don't hate her.

<3 for Leah, she wastes my time, forces mission wipes, and gets me irritable with little to no effort. She's a sweetheart

Crom The Pale · Feb 11, 2008, 04:46 AM // 04:46

At least she doesn't get stuck on wreckage like she used to, that really pissed off more than a few people way back in the day.

I've got a screen shot around somewhere.....
