Hey all,
So I'm putting this out there just out of curiosity. Few nights ago I was chilling out in my Hall of Monuments messing with armor skins ,dyes, and possible build combinations when I noticed something strange. It appeared for only a few seconds but one of those Ley Line anomalies appeared in the hall, moved around a bit then disappeared , it showed up again later in a different spot. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this. I might try to get a screen shot but I have no idea what pattern there is if any. Just something strange and wondering if anyone else might have seen it or know why its visiting my hall...
Later all.

That's super creepy

They've been popping up all over. Pretty sure they're related to living story/current events stuff. They seem to be appearing more and more frequently, too.

I caught one, in case people haven't seen them around:

One thing possibly worth noting is that they don't necessarily appear for everyone in the same instance.  I have a friend who's been seeing them a lot recently, and he points it out, but nobody else we were playing with saw anything.

Pretty sure they're client-side, so you basically get your own personal anomaly stalker thing.

I have seen a couple now. I saw them in the new map. One was just chillin in the regular area, and one came to visit me when I was on top of a mountain trying to get someplace you normally can't. My personal belief is that they are Anet spies and they are reporting our every move to our overlords.

Quick update on this, I got right up close to one and it unlocked a "Current Events" achievement set. It doesn't look like there is a reward, but it gives 10 AP.

CONFIRMED: Fern needs a buddy who can keep an eye on him while he's tripping balls. I'm out of commission while my computer is in the shop... anyone else able to help a brother out?

Biff! Come back and be my spirit animal. As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, with naught but my conscience for a guide and only the inexolerable march of time for company, I realize the anomaly is not my friend, but my doom! Leading me further and further into the abyss! As the madness slowly takes hold of my mind I find it more and more difficult to determine what is real. I fear that even as you read this it will already be too late for me...

Although it could just be all the PvE I've been doing in the Mad King's Labyrinth talking.

Hmmm, sounds contagious. Biff, I would stay away from 'ol Fern until whatever he has works itself out.
Or as Al Bundy would say...maybe he can just 'walk it off"

[Biff Rangoon]

Indeed... Fern's been pushing in the pve? Mystery solved! If I don't get back soon, he'll get addicted to loot and I'll never convince him to go back to Wvw!

[Fernshade]

Just make sure to not come back til after the Halloween event is over, mmmkay?
