Thunderhell Keep, have you all noticed any changes or bugs? - Guild Wars Forums

I have done thunderhead ALOT! I am very used to that mission as I often am asked to help others with it.

Lately though I have noticed the baddies either showing up in super mass numbers like 12 herds with that interrupt stop, 4 healers, and a variety of others AT ONCE! of course you are overwhelmed and no chance, then the next time I played all was quiet and both sides like 1 bad guy was showing up per side and then at very end, all that was supposed to shwo up seems to appear now and BAM, dead. Occasionally I had a normal experience but has anyone else had these odd experiences?

The Terrain sensory in that lvl is horrid.

The enemies often times will get "stuck" on a rock or something and not show up, or get bottlenecked and all come through at once.

Not to mention falling through bridges and otherstuff like that.

You can use catapults at the fort to reduce the number of enemies coming in waves, or so I hear.

I've had it happen where almost the entire mob shows up at once. I'm not sure any team could survive all 12 (I think 12, maybe 8) tundra giants and a full complement of Jades at the same time.

Also had one time when not one single enemy came to the keep. We sat there about 15 minutes before venturing outside. We killed all the tundras and had to camp the spawn point for the Jades and Mursaat. Thius was before they fixed the gate glitch otherwise we would've been screwed. Entire thing took over two hours due to the incredibly long waits between Jade spawns. Took 20 minutes for Dorian to spawn at the end.

That's probably the buggiest mission in the game. It's probably more important for the devs to code the next nerf than actually fix the game.

Just did it a few minutes ago. Just as easy as I remembered it.

When it's glitch free it is relatively easy. When bugged, it's a miserable experience. I've ben on both sides of that scenario recently.

sometimes the monsters get stuck.

I've done it twice, havent noticed any bugs yet. The numbers are explainable though, outside the keep 2 groups will sometimes walk into each other (happened once with me). Just give them a second to seperate and you'll be fine. In the keep itself, a large group means that the people at the catapults arent doing their job.
