Guild Wars 2

I’ve played this event about 5 times now and have never had any drops or chests from the knights. Is this a bug or am I not producing enough damage to get warrant the reward?

You’re not getting a bonus chest, like you would from a world boss?

For example. I start at the Legendary Static (Red) Knight. I engage in the battle and are getting in hits throughout, but at the end there’s no loot when I hit “F” and no sign of a chest anywhere…I thought there we’re supposed to be champion gear boxes and such.

U get 6 champ boxes when all 3 knights are either killed or event fails. Chance at cores in the same reward window that do not correspond to the knight you were on. The core you get is random.

NOTE: You currently only get loot if the knight your on dies. If others die & yours is still up by the time event fails – you get nothing.

With the most recent update, you’ll get a single chest (pops up like a world boss bonus chest on the side of your screen) after the event is over – ie all 3 knights complete either thru being killed or their timer runs out. They don’t all have to be killed, but I’ve found you will not get the loot if the one you opt to beat on doesn’t die, but the others do.

I’ve noted this myself. I’m not sure if this is a bug or intended. The patch notes make it seem like you should get a reward if any of the knights go down, not specifically the one you are beating on. However, that could be an error in their verbiage and its actually working as intended. Don’t really know.

So to encourage players to split up, they’re only giving you loot if the Specific knight you are on dies? That’s going to do the opposite! There’s no way I would waste my time trying to down a knight with less people when there’s a much greater risk that I’ll get nothing. The loot should be given to anybody that did a fair amount of damage to ANY knight…

I tend to agree. I am more inclined to jump on a well manned knight than trying to take down one with less people. Better likeliness of actually getting something for my effort. Of course, I don’t agree with the massive reduction of rewards either. Perhaps zerging all 3 and getting 18 bags had not been their original intent, fine, but completely chopping it to 6 bags period is a bit drastic. If you help take down 2 or even all 3, you should get at least a little something for the effort put forth there. As it stands, once you have your knight down there really isn’t any encouragement to help on the others… unless you want to fight the holo, which it seems no one gives a kitten about this morning…(at least in the overflows Ive been in)

The easiest way would be to have Tier loot. Group 1 downs a knight, everyone gets loot and chance at cores, Second group downs the knight, everyone agains get loot and chance at cores, and third group downs the knight, everyone again gets the loot and a chance at cores.
People will feel rewarded for their efforts and everyone should have more fun. There needs to be good portion of people doing the events and the way it is now, most people will just quite doing it because the rewards do not match effort given.

I’ve helped kill a Knight before, but another Knight failed…

Didn’t see any reward.

Seems glitched and I’m not surprised. They rushed a patch out of the door (within a day) to fix an event that they’ve supposedly worked on for over a month.

Agreed.

People are all trying to zerg at the blue one still, because if they get the attunement and kill one knight… It’s better than not getting anything.

Still dont know how the loot mechanic works exactly.
We killed red and green, blue healed up and therefore we failed.
I only killed the green one and was attacking the blue after that.
Got the boss loot chest with 1 green core, 1 red core and 3 blue cores.
Bug, working as intended or lucky?

Think the chest has a chance to drop any of the cores. But it does seem very luck you got 5 cores out of it. I never have gotten one.
