So my latest run of Gwylan's Stand was quite possibly the worst low level run I've ever led in my life.
To make a short story long...it all started off with me logging in on my lvl 6 monk, putting up and LFM along the lines of "Gwylan's Zerg - In progress", and me racing of and making everything eat my newly acquired +1 flaming burst handwraps of pure good.
I ended up acquiring a few more squishy players, by the time I got to Zared's cave, and we promptly took care of that room with me dying a couple times in convenient areas, and rezing while calling my hireling to me.
And then, the trouble began.
Of course, none of use had the str to actually carry those blasted containers throughout the whole quest, and I found out, that you can't make your hireling carry them either, far as I could tell.
So I head back into that cave, while the others are clearing to the last cave, and that's where things turn ugly. I hadn't completely cleard out that cave, so instead of killing everything, I thought I'd just run in, grab the containers and go. Unfortunately I could only carry 4, so I jumped in the water...and then the lag problem started. My client freezes up, I get all lagged up with a latency icon on my screen...and 30 seconds later DiNG! I am dead.
Not too unhappy about my misfortune, but here's what I learned about being stuck in a cave like that, with a hireling.
1. You can order your hireling to pick up your stone.
2. You cannot order your hireling to drop your stone.
3. Your hireling will follow your ghost, but he can't make it out the cave if you're dead.
4. Even if you tell your hire to defend somebody else, they will not follow them out the cave.
5. People get ****ed and leave when you're running a zerg group and you look like and effing noob.
Do I got this right Mr. Hireling?
