Guild Wars 2

With the most recent update, the mad king’s clock tower no longer gives any reward after running it once.

I don’t think it’s a bug… I hope so, but I think it’s just a nerf

Anet is basically saying “Please stop playing this content, thank you”.

They did the same to Labrynth.

They must really want us in Queensdale and Frostgorge for some reason, I’m not understanding.

Well, the update notes say they “added” the empyreal fragments, it says nothing about removing the bags.

I was very confused about the initial rewards nerf, reducing the rewards to the point where even a skilled and perfectly consistent jumper will gain less than anyone who can follow a labyrinth zerg and spam a few AoEs. Why isn’t skill rewarded?

Now it’s just the same as every other JP: a waste of time. Which is unfortunate, since I like playing them. I really hope this is a bug.

Yep. Same problem here. Ran it once, got the fragments, ran it twice more and got nothing.

I do hope it’s an oversight, since the chest still does reset each time you complete the puzzle. There’s just nothing in it after you get those Empyreal Fragments.

I’m hoping for the best (bug) and expecting the worst (nerf). If it is a bug, I hope it gets fixed quickly. If it’s working as intended and is actually a nerf, I’ll be really disappointed. Mad King’s Clock Tower is my favorite JP in the game and love running it. But I’d very much like to receive some reward for the time I spend in that content. The nerf in the number of ToT bags you get this year compared to last year was bad enough. But not rewarding folks for making it to the top after your first run of the day? That just isn’t right.

(And in my personal case, I’d much prefer the ToT bags instead of the Empyreal Fragments. I already get plenty of Fragments in WvW. ToT bags are a much sweeter reward).

two days in a row fragments, I would much rather a chest, but only fragments! All I know is that they are for crafting (that I cant use since I don’t have any lvl 80 characters), Why would I want crafting supplies for a Halloween reward?!?! I was expecting a chest, or something cosmetic, shouldn’t the reward reflect that it is a Halloween event?
