Reporting gameplay problems to Arenanet - Guild Wars Forums

Hey there,

I just posted a thread on site feedback which has subsequently been closed. I was informed that the forum was for site related issues only. The post I had made concerned problems with guild wars gameplay itself. So the closure of the thread was understandable. However the moderator 'Indie' who closed the thread was a little unhelpful in that he gave me no alternative posting locations. It appears there is no suitable forum for this issue, so what do I do? Where can I get this heard? The issue/post in question is as follows:

******************************

Hey there,

I just wanted to know where I can report problems relating to gameplay or at least air them in a formal fashion. I've recently become very frustrated with the animate dead function and wanted to get the issue out in the open. Just to note I am a death necro using mainly animate bone fiend.

I may as well explain my quandry so here goes .... The problems concerning the fiends or any undead for that matter are mainly linked to targetting. When a fiend is not able to target a creature that it sees, for example when crossing a bridge or passing through a gorge or attacking the siege worms in DoD rather than moving on they gather together and remain stationary awaiting the death of that creature or their inevitable demise. This can prove to be very frustrating especially when you move into an area with limited corpses and your animates are refusing to budge because a forest troll is taunting them up on a high ridge that they can't get to without a huge detour. Surely this isn't intentional. I pour a lot of skills into my undead so its very annoying if I can't utilise them to kill.

Another problem, perhaps less annoying but still a problem is the fact that during mission cutscenes undead continue to lose health and die. This can only be haulted if all skip the cutscene which ussually doesn't happen because fairly often someone is new to the mission. As a summoning necro a lot of power is tied up in your minions and these "problems" put such characters at a disadvantage.

Any feedback or information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Col.
