Hello everbody,

I think there is another bug in magg’s chain.
I am a elementalist and today i looked for a group for a CoF exp mode.
So, the guys in my group told me to use the skill glyph of renewal in magg with the abillity air active.
so how it works:
Let Magg die and them use glyph of renewal 3 times to take him further as you can of the mob’s. And them wait, so is not necessary kill the mobs.

Hope u can fix that Arena.net

The fix is simply to have Magg run back to the door.

In general, people will do whatever they can when they are backed into a corner. It’s just part of what humans do when faced with adversity – we use our intellect, creativity, and ingenuity to find solutions to problems. That event is incredibly difficult, and it’s not shocking that players will use whatever tools and techniques they can to get through it.

As a dev, there is a brief moment when I hear about an exploit and think to myself “Clever. Wish I’d have thought of that.” before I enter fix-it mode. I’m more upset at my failure to anticipate an exploit than I am about the person who finds it.
