ChampionMasquerade.5283 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I never got a chance to play Living World Season 1, but from what I can tell the Pact Commander was there at the time of the Miasma being spread around Lion's Arch. Were they affected at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Well, there's been no mention of Scarlett's Rattle, so I'd guess the Commander did not get sick. At least, nothing permanent. If I remember correctly, there were some transient effects when standing in the Miasma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westenev.5289 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Wouldn't the story be more fun if the commander was asthmatic and wheezing by the 2nd dodge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teratus.2859 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 In short we were never exposed to high levels of it..We could only enter Lions Arch once the levels have subsided and when those levels started to rise again we had to flee the city or end up dead from it.

Danikat.8537 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 If I remember correctly encountering miasma in LA caused your health to drop gradually, a bit like the poison condition (except you couldn't remove or prevent it, you had to get out of the area) - it was used to make some areas more difficult to access and to justify only letting us in for one event cycle.But as other people have said the commander was never exposed to high levels of it. In the story your character wasn't in LA when Scarlet first attacked, so they didn't get hit with the first wave. The Lionguard closed off entrances to the city and would only allow groups in to search for survivors when the miasma subsided (this is the in-universe justification for the event running on a timed cycle). Once inside your first task was to stop Scarlet's allies deploying more of it, and your success in that determined how long you had for everything else (there were other miasma events throughout the meta). Then you had to rush out again before the levels got too high.I'm sure it wasn't good for them, but neither is a lot of the stuff the commander does. But there weren't any permanent effects that we know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 My helmet covered my face back then so I - as the Commander- was unaffected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChampionMasquerade.5283 Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 So what I’m hearing is that 1. They got hit by a small dose when they entered the city but not enough to permanently effect them, and 2. We’re just enough of a badass that even when we did stand in it we didn’t have any permanent side effects.Thanks for the replies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konig Des Todes.2086 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 ANet avoids having any kind of permanent characteristic applied to the Commander because "blank template". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The escape, and then the retaking. There was no "fleeing the city again" as the battle to retake the city happened a single time, with Scarlet's death.
