Henchies infused in Iron Mines mission, right? - Guild Wars Forums

I thought they fixed that...did they?

boxterduke · Mar 29, 2006, 04:08 PM // 16:08

Yes, it was fixed in a previous patch.

that's what I thought, but man, Thom is having a rough time of it. Insta-kill each time we see a Muursat, and yes, I did give the essence to the seer.

darkMishkin · Mar 29, 2006, 04:34 PM // 16:34

I don't think they fixed it.

Vhayr · Mar 29, 2006, 04:47 PM // 16:47

Me either. Was skill-capping the other day with my Mesmer and we run into a group of I think three Mursaat, and then OMGKAPLOW!1!1"z, I'm the only one left alive.

fgarvin · Mar 29, 2006, 04:53 PM // 16:53

Found a way around it, just charge in without attacking and the Muursat will target the player instead of the Henchies. I take all the initial damage and then we clean up.

Shortly after fix, fought entire way there (no or minimal dp on henchies), infused entire armor set, continued on with mission easily.

More recently, ran beginning part with mixed PC/henchie group, did not infuse own armor, henchies dropped like rocks.

Maybe it broke again? Or maybe if you're only infusing one piece the henchies only infuse one piece (and thus are still mostly vulnerable)? I didn't see them dropping as fast as the Iron Mines henchies down in Ice Floe did (no infusion; fighting Mursaat), so I think they're at least partially infused at least some of the time... somebody should really do some testing on this...

MirageCloud · Mar 29, 2006, 06:21 PM // 18:21

wondering, henchies are infused in thunderhead keep right?

thelessa · Mar 29, 2006, 06:41 PM // 18:41

Just ran the Iron Mines last night and it seems to work just fine. Infused first, then went capping. Almost cleared the whole map. A few of the henchies died along the way, but other then that, all went rather well.

Yes they should be infused at Thunderhead Keep.

fgarvin · Mar 29, 2006, 07:24 PM // 19:24

My armor was already infused, so I'm thinking that if the player does not infuse, then some bug is preventing the Henchies from infusing as well.

quickmonty · Mar 29, 2006, 10:27 PM // 22:27

Just last week I went to infuse an extra piece of armor that I has just bought. Took henchies as I never have problem getting infused with them. Decided while I was there to try the bonus (did the mission a long time ago). Completed the bonus with henchies, no problem. I have also done the mission with a guild mate or two plus henchies. Are they infused? Seems like it from my experience.

Whispering Siren · Mar 30, 2006, 09:40 PM // 21:40

Maybe the henchies hate me (this may be the case, I do talk bad about Alesia sometimes... okay, a lot)... but I swear at least one or two of them REFUSE to get infused when I take them (and yes, I infuse my armor as well). Granted, it's usually me and a guildie or two - but it never fails - *poof* insta-death! (Sometimes Alesia and Lina are really on the ball and able to save the agonized henchie). I'm talking at least 4 times since the patch that was purported to fix it, probably more, I stopped counting - and each time, someone was not infused after actually doing the infusion.

So, no - I would say this glitch is definitely NOT fixed... at all... whatsoever... I hate it.

I did the mission with a friend and henchies, and likewise, one of the henchies (Reyna) didn't get infused, but the rest did.

Whispering Siren · Mar 31, 2006, 06:18 AM // 06:18

maybe if you just do it with one person (yourself), rest (7) henchies - the henchies get the message... maybe...

or they just hate us.
