FOW Problem - Guild Wars Forums

Squishy ftw · Oct 20, 2007, 11:29 AM // 11:29

Hi there, I started a full FOW run last night with 6 heros (a friend joined the party and left his heros). I did 7 out of 11 quests, went back to collect some rewards and continue on the remaining 4 quests when I *totally out of nowhere* died

I got no idea what happened but my party was suddenly death. I was nowhere near enemies, all NPCs were alive. So here's my question: what happened ? and what can I do to prevent this on future runs ?

Thanks.

Wasn't there some sort of incredibly vital NPC in that area, that when he dies, it's game over?

There are several NPCs that arent allowed to die yes but as far as I know all of them are stil alive (Party window).

Hmmm, did you kill the Wailing Lord? Or perhaps his Griffons?

I hadnt even entered the forest at that time, those would be the next 2 quests I'd do.

Hmmm, did Gwen go berserk? Hahaha.

I don't know, haven't heard of spontaneous death in FoW except through dead NPCs.

did you resign earlier so that when your teammate left it killed the rest of your party?

That's what I'm thinking is the most likely, since clearly no NPCs are dead.

Nope, the party member that left is a friend who just gave me his heros, he left very early in FoW already

and no lol, I didnt resign

that would be rather retarded

Could it be that the ghosty (you get the quest for the forge from him) and his posse got ganked?

Don't really see how you made it as far as you did if that was the case though. Usually they'd get him before that.

I tend to clear a full radar around any of the NPCs in FOW, so I doubt it,and yeh, would be rather late for this as my party died after comming back from finishing 2 quests.

And you can't know that no NPC's are dead, there is no way of knowing. Right when you get the forgemaster quest, there are patrols that come by those NPC's and if you don't clear them out, eventually they kill them and end your trip. Also, there is a NPC inside the forge that if you take his quest and don't do it right away, I've seen people die that way too.
