desert farmers, beware!!

hi guys,
my game is lex and i have a r/e on guild wars,
which i use for desert farming(in vultures drift, arid sea)
recently, i noticed a small but drastic change in the desert farming gameplay...
i knew wurms could be trouble, but after a like a hundred meters, they would stop annoying me when i went farming, now a days, they DONT STOP, so every time i meet a wurm, i die.
running skills dont help, cuz it they're very fast.

if more people experience this problem or just wanna share a thought, plz put a feedback here, so the gwars team might fix this annoying problem.

lex.

Actually that is part of the "update in wurm behavior" which was in one of the recent updates. They used to A. be lazy and B. if you kited them long enough would pop out of the ground and stare at you without attacking. To stop players (me) from exploiting this the Anet made them the bonegrinding killers they now are. Enjoy!

Its meant to be like that. ANet wont fix this "bug" as its not one..

dont see why you cant kill em my warior has no problem taking a group of griffs and 1 wurm

2 wurms = possiple but really hard

2 wurms and a group of griffs = mission impossible

guess its because you use a ranger and that plays really diferent from my warior but try it with a W/Mo its easy

If you take a W/E out there, you're invulnerable to anything thats melee based.

Wurms have thick skin but can be owned easy, just takes some time.I would rather have two pop up at the same time/ possible 2 bleached shells.I can show you how to put em down.

ripostes .... its not hard nor new news

I really don't see this as a 'problem' that needs fixing. It makes things rather interesting and little more challenging, actually.

Husband, a friend and I were helping another friend map-point the desert missions yesterday. I helped him with Sanctum Cay and then met with the third friend at Amnoon. We grouped and went to Augury then made a huge circle with our "Desert Tour 2006". No running, all fighting. Heck, we even killed the Queen just to give our buddy the experience (no green drop, tho).

It was challenging but not un-doable. In fact, it was almost disappointingly quiet in spots. The only spot that was nearly a disaster was outside of Thirsty when *two* sand wurms popped up amidst out on-going battle with griffons. The wurms, I must say, appeared to be very hungry. However, we prevailed in the end and off we went to Destiny's Gorge and then Elona.

The wurms shouldn't be seen as a problem but rather a natural obstacle to outwit and overcome. Hellfire, even real life farmers have to figure out how to win out over nature.....are you saying you are so lazy that you cannot adapt and do the same?

Really? man, wish there were more wurms, I like killing them

Way back when I ran a W/R when apply poison was used they would stop moving and let you beat em down. Posion+Sever+Gash is a fun degen combo anyway!

physical resistance
watch yourself...

you get the idea...it's boring but very possible

or go 55.....my necro takes em out in a ittle less then a minute, 1 at a time, plus damage to others in the area. 3 wurms = no problem, just hard to find 3 at once. and no, they dont follow me forever----i run, they plaster my ass on the ground a few times, then give up

yeah i agree they can be quite gh3y sometimes
but 55 monks owns them

kk, i agree that its not a bug, but my r/e is my primary farmer for sand giants, and i no its easy to solo wurms, i do it with my n/r and e/n but its kinda impossible with my r/e, so its pretty annoying to get whiped out after walking 2 feet... besides falcon dance, i think u make the wrong assumptions too fast, im not lazy, im annoyed, and comparing a computer game with nature, sheesh, well... atleast u've got a good imagination.

wurms=hell for my E/W when farming in the desert. But then, I know where they are in vulture drifts, so I dont go there. Mind you, sprint'll still secure my escape more often than not if I want to go see the arid sea crafter or something like that.

I say, put more worms out there. I love them, and I really don't care how much they screw up farming. They are fun to go up against. And if you can't figure out a new way to farm, that really means you need to change your way of thinking in this game.

why is everybody calling me lazy or newbish? :S i CAN adept, to the wurms and yes they can be fun, but its annoying thats they dont stop following me, besides, i killed a couple last night
