Weird things that ive noticed - Guild Wars Forums

OK, I've noticed some weird things in GW lately.
1. Let an enemy die by a condition, am almost SURE that he'll drop something
2. If u try to salvage or ID an item and it says 'u've fought too recently to do that' and then successfully salvage it ur gonna get a suckier material or lose an upgrade
3. Some enemies fight eachother, today I saw trolls and avicaras fiercely fighting eachother. I thought that was weird and tried to merge them, I lured a bunch of trolls to the avicaras. They all started attacking me as if they were allies. Usually PCs aren't a top priority between NPCs.

Has anyone else noticed this or anything weird(er)? Confirm or deny the stuff above, is it all true or am I wrong?

I've noticed number 3... I've also noticed it with Ettin and Caromi (relatives of Avicara)

Myself... I think that the Avicara and their less civilized cousins the Caromi are an intelligent species more sophisticated and peace-oriented than humans... after all, who is invading who's territory here? I have a great respect for Avicara, they are easily the enemy I fear the most in the game and the enemy that wipes out the entire party the most often... this includes m-rs--t and the w----m-----.

I notice number three all the time, even within species sometimes. Some are intentional like gargoyles and Charr hate eachother. But within species, I think it just might be a glitch.

not really in snake dance some blessed griphons have the urge of killing stone summit beasts if they get to close to eachother and the griphon whil cast a skill on himself like holly wrath whell then hes asking for it lol

I think this is actully cool, #3 I use all the time when I need to rush to the next Coop, the best Monster vs Monster fight is at the Bergen Hot Springs last time I lured 10 ettins to follow me and they actully clear out most of the undead population for me.

and #1 is actully quite common if I farm with my Sword Warrior and use bleeding the monster drop more then when I farm with my Hammer warrior.

Nothign funnier then seeing different members of the Stone Summit fighting each other on some missions

Lost · Jul 12, 2005, 12:38 PM // 12:38

On the Thunderhead Keep mission I was able to keep some Stone Summit troops alive and still trigger the Mursaat coming. The Stone Summit mob killed off several White Mantle mobs for me before they were eventually beaten by the Mursaat.

I agree, I also like Tengu's. They are great. I've never seen a Tengu in a game before.

Those grawl in Regent Valley is actually opposing factions. I believe the "opposers" usually are called something like "Grawl Heretic" and some sort of grawl priest, cant remember their name. They always tend to fight each other, looks intentional.

Torkemada · Jul 12, 2005, 01:45 PM // 13:45

If i recall correctly from the beta weekends, mobs fighting mobs was one of the many things GW was bringing to be "diferent" from other online games.
I think its actually pretty cool, it makes the scenery more alive, instead of walking mobs that dont atk each other just cos they are all "mobs".

Avicara fighting trolls is great. If u have an elementalist with u, throw a couple of AOE spells on them and watch em fall.

Spike · Jul 12, 2005, 02:50 PM // 14:50

If anyone has been to the fissure of woe you will see battles there between skeletons and shadow people ie (rangers/warriors/eles etc)

Artemis Bladewing · Jul 13, 2005, 09:56 AM // 09:56

One thing that sucks though is the patched some Monsters vs. Monster fight. At ember lighting camp the hyrdras used to kill the Mursaat Tower for me, after the recent update the actully work together now. So not all fights are intentionaly.

Shadowdaemon · Jul 13, 2005, 07:34 PM // 19:34

i once used the ghosts from the bonus in nolani mission to kill the charr by the city, the ghosts own charr any day

Fye Duron · Jul 13, 2005, 07:41 PM // 19:41

All over the place there are opposing mobs. Especially in the desert. I use to force the tribes to fight during the ascention missions.

Disoblige · Jul 13, 2005, 07:43 PM // 19:43

GW are trying to make the mission area more interactive. It feels so linear.

kirkmping · Jul 13, 2005, 08:30 PM // 20:30

speaking of weird events, i was doing the ruins of sermia mission and i had unlimited uses of my res signet! I think i used it 5 times during that one mission cuz the henchies kept dying.

Arvydas · Jul 13, 2005, 09:13 PM // 21:13

#3 i noticed it with wolves and bandits in pre-searing.

That would probably be because the rez signet recharges when you kill a boss or otherwise get a morale boost.
