I think a lot of people are missing the point here. We should not have to wait for an NPC to walk through every square foot of the Onyx Gate before they finally bother to start running, which is STILL slower than player speed.

I theorized ages ago that Leah walks that slow because ANet initially intended people to unlock her, then clear the fortress around her. Having her move fast in that case would be suicide. Then everyone cleared ahead and came back, which made that just plain annoying.

/Signed for speed buff if no enemies present.

Her excuse was, "Because im a woman and i'm cute"

Maybe shes protesting

I hate that she is slow but i hate it more that she becomes stuck at chests and locked chests

.

BenjZee · Jan 27, 2008, 10:01 PM // 22:01

thats a new one

never heard of that
i didnt think chests were in missions

i don't hate her, at least she walks in the right direction, unlike a certain braindead prince that decides to go aggro a whole Charr legion in the opposite direction of your objective.

(yes, I actually had Rurik zerging off at the end of Ruins of Surmia away from the damn academy, outside healing range, and blowing up against billions of charr ...)

I just hate mission NPCs

Prophecies missions always had chests..

i dont hate her..she gives me time to get a coffee..

you seem to have 2 choices...

1: get her first and risk having her killed(ghostbusted) clearing way to grave..

2: clear path to grave..then go back for her and put up with the slow walking..

i prefer option 2...

Words cannot describe my hate...

Nevin · Jan 28, 2008, 01:47 AM // 01:47

I do, I often do that mission. Go take a piss while shes catching up... only for her to vanish off the face of the earth when I come back. You'd think she could at least leave a corpse.

Shes teaching us a lesson, if we don't ignore our wives, well atleast be able to see how they dissapeared.

i dont hate her

pumpkin pie · Jan 28, 2008, 03:14 AM // 03:14

I don't!

and what, don't cheapen the bonus ! :P~

Aera Lure · Jan 28, 2008, 04:01 AM // 04:01

She doesnt aggro anything, because you clear the way for her before you go talk to her.

About the only thing I dislike about Leah is she is sooo slooooooww for the first half of her "run" to where she wishes to go, though it is kind of a nice time to stand around and have fun, fool around a bit, until she makes it where she's going. Just clear the way for her. I've been in a few PUGs that didnt clear the way for her, despite my suggestion that it was probably a wise move. That too was entertaining.

Atellier · Jan 28, 2008, 05:09 AM // 05:09

Oh god that was the most annoying Bonus EVER. Not the most difficult, but SO tedious. I got the job of escorting her, while the other person I was doing the mission with took the henchmen (basically the rest of the party) and started clearing the path. He cleared the whole path by the time the stupid ghost got halfway through.

Pleikki · Jan 28, 2008, 05:14 AM // 05:14

I doesnt hate her. she looks sexy!

**cosyfiep** · Jan 28, 2008, 05:31 AM // 05:31

I dont hate her, while doing this one a while back the phone rang---my mom, so we chatted quite some time, and I get back to the game; Leah still has yet to make it out of the fort.

...oh well, at least she didnt die while I was gone making me have to repeat this slow mission....its one of the easier, yet longest bonuses I think.

Martin Alvito · Jan 28, 2008, 05:46 AM // 05:46

Leah's definitely annoying, but not nearly as much so as Rurik.

Would you rather have an NPC that you must escort:
1) Move glacially slowly?
2) Leeroy without any heed for personal safety?

TBH, skill capping Abbadon 900 times is much more irritating than having to free Leah once or twice.

Lyger · Jan 28, 2008, 08:50 AM // 08:50

I wish Anet would stick a jet pack to her or something. I hate this bonus only because it is so long and tedious. Her laps around the fort are completely pointless if you go for the sensible no chance of failure path of clearing her route first.
