Was playing Guild Wars earlier. They recently came out with thier Factions expansion.
they did something kind of neat to allow the characters from Tyria, the old continent, to meet up with those from Cantha. There's a Mission where they ranomly team up one canthan team with one Tyrian team, to co-op against a crapload of badguys- the Vizunah Square mission.
I was playing with my Canthan character, Shinobi No Shinkage. I've done the quest before with a different character, and knew it was kind of a pain to finish- you see, each team has one NPC they have to keep alive, and if your other team sucks, then you're gonna lose quick.
However... it seemed that there were no Tyrians playing that mission at that time. So instead of a team of thinking, intelligent players, our Canthan team was paired up with Tyrian "Henchmen"- A.I. controlled party members that don't even know to walk forward unless they're following someone.

Your two teams start off seperated. You're supposed to meet in the middle of this large battlefield to start helping eachother.
However, like I said- Henchmen aren't smart enough to walk forward without someone guiding them. So they simply sat there until there were ambushed by a group of enemies, and poof, the Canthan team, who had been fighting off TWO teams-worth of enemies and had almost won, were defeated as well, since the henchmen didn't keep thier NPC alive.

GAH, noone would have understand what I just said unless they've played it themselves. Let's just say this- it's AGGREVATING.

Anyway, I've been in more of a fanfic mood than a drawing mood lately. So as long as I can come up with ideas, you may see a bit of fanfics from me instead of my usual drawings.

Ah Guild Wars. What a dissapointent that was and still is.
