Guild Wars 2

Let’s say players divide 45 red, 35 green, 30 blue (I haven’t actually seen 50/50/50 so far). The red and green knights are killed, blue knight remains alive. Players who were attacking red and green get the chest, players who were attacking blue don’t, because they didn’t kill him. As I understand the patch notes, players should get the chest if any of the three knights were killed, even if they were attacking a knight, which remained alive. Because they participated. I just witnessed people from the blue knight running away to the red/green one, to get the loot. I don’t blame them, it’s a logical thing to do.

Oh and the knights’ health status bars are bugged.

I am beginning to think that their internal servers where they test this stuff are bugged in some fashion, which makes encounters actually work there, as opposed to the live servers which consistently do not match up to what the patch notes proclaim…

Thread 4 or 5 on this, we had to hit 16 yesterday to get a reply, but in all fairness, all the Devs are likely asleep and left work pretty soon after the last bug patch. The only issue is, that it seems without a flood that fills up the entire front page of the forums, it takes days to fix game breaking issues instead of hours.

Well they are Americans. They are probably getting from bed at this hour, to start their day.

This is Friday. Don’t expect any answer until Monday. Assuming they’d even bother to notice there’s still a problem.

It’s crucially important that this significant part of the living story is fixed by the weekend. Most players play during the weekend.

I haven’t gotten any loot from the Knights in days. And I’ve downed all of them sequentially.

Nah it’s too late anyways.

Hyping the big final of the LS being the most awesome thing ever and giving us this bug fest? That is what ANet thinks is the best they can do for a final release? Seriously, who would expect any quality content after seeing this in the future.

On the forth day, things just get fixed to be worse? They could just let this whole thing be the way it is. It is how the whole LS has been and it is foreboding the future of more LS seasons.

I’ve just stopped doing this event completely. It’s not worth the effort, plus the mechanics and color flashes give me a headache.

Whats worse is that even if all three are killed, players only get the loot for one. Its just barely better than no loot. I’d prefer it to go back to the way it was with loot from each one. How the kitten are we supposed to amass power cores now?

Got a feeling, tha ANet got the impression that working loot for the knights would give out too many cores, which equals being less of a grind.

ANet hates things that are not grindy, what would you expect them to do.

It’s not only when you fought against the one who stayed alive that you didn’t get a chest. On my server, we killed 2 knights and I was part of one of those fights from beginning to end. And guess what? I didn’t get a chest. We failed the event because the third one wasn’t defeated but from what I understand, from what it’s said in the patch notes and from what my friends told me (since they got a reward with a fail), I should have been rewarded.

I was only getting loot from (roughly) 1 in 3 knight kills anyway, so this isn’t terribly different. At least this way it’s a guaranteed reward if you complete the event.

played the knights since bug patch, 7 times, I got 6 power cores. (went like this, 0,1,2,3, fail, fail, 0 ) They’re also likely to drop in price on TP a great deal.
How many cores do you need really?

Well I’d like at least 10 of each so I can get one of each color, so thats 30 cores. Preferably more so I can maybe have two of two certain colors.

I think I was only getting 2 out of 3 before, but at least that was one more chance at a power core then I have now.

I wonder at players like you.

But anyway, cores prices ARE dropping, if you’re planning for that many, you got gold, buy them.

I love how you are counting time in replies and not sec min or hours

You all KNOW you want that…… 3 obsidian shards and greens from the boss chest

Wait 1 week, they will cost about 80s on TP that’s 8g for ten, that is not so much.

Yes you should have. I experienced similar situation and I did get the reward.

After completing this many times, killing each “legendary knight” I have exactly one core. Have been playing this release after work every day this week for about 3-4 hours a day since Tuesday the return absolutely sucks. Didn’t fail any attempts to kill dead red scarlet or the knights and even got 15 out of 15 early yesterday.

This ls ending is about as epic as the final battle against Zhaitan which is the lamest part of this game…….

Well I hope they drop at least that much (hopefully more)

There’s also a bug where sometimes people get NOTHING for participating.

It’s happened twice to me now.

Killed 2/3 knights. No chest.
