Flesh Golem broken? - Guild Wars Forums

bez_333 · Nov 12, 2006, 01:10 AM // 01:10

has anyone else noticed a problem with the Flesh Golem. Whenever I move or attack it takes the Flesh Golem a few seconds to notice and join in. Seems minor but it can be pain. When you wade in to a group of enemes you need your golem to get in there, not hang around at the back spectating. I also find it quite annoying when I'm running around and my golem is lagging behind (because it started moving way after I did) and then it dies and I have to run back (sometimes can be a fair way) to resurrect it. Its not like you can even wait for it to catch up and then move on because it will just delay again and end up lagging behind.

It's been like this since they put the skill in the game (though it might've gotten worse). Shambling Horrors from Nightfall have the same problem. Doesn't seem like ANet is addressing this problem regardless of how many threads have been started about it or how many complaints have been sent to their support :/

Golems are lazy bastards.

Minions have always had a delay in their attacking after yours. Nothing new here.

My golem seems to take around 5 seconds or so before it will start following, unlike my other minions. Its a bit annoying being so far away with the rest of the pack swarming around me yet he is an argo bubble or two behind.

I often see one or two minions lagging behind Olias in Nightfall. Not always golem, but it happens. Oddly, it's usually only one or two, instead of the whole group. It seems to happen more often with freshly summoned minions.

Olias is almost always behind my group by an odd distance now. His minions even farther. It might have something to do w/ the retarted (and still not totally fixed) body blocking and/or AI updates having a weird effect on the minions. Bah.
