Guild Wars 2

I was doing the dynamic event “Rescue the villagers and defeat harpy kidnappers” in Fields of Ruin and the event reward has to be bugged. I soloed what I believe to be the entire event, I ran through the harpy area and filled my heart completely while rescuing seven villagers. To do this I had to kill over 30 harpies because the villagers will stop moving as soon as a harpy is in aggro radius. This was tedious and drawn out for a solo dynamic event and I was pretty bored, but that’s what a lot of maps are like these days. Once I finally rescued the final villager and killed over 30 harpies I was rewarded with a bronze medal. A bronze medal! I was there for over 20 minutes by myself killing dozens of harpies, I escorted seven villagers out of the stupid place on my own and all I got was a crappy bronze medal. It felt like a slap in the face.

Personally I think the events in this map are generally overtuned in how long it takes to complete them solo compared with the rest of the game, but I also think the bar on this particular event for a gold medal is far too high. I have no idea how I got bronze when as far as I know I soloed the whole thing myself.

It’s not that event, it’s a random bug. Sometimes you just get bronze, and it is a kick in the teeth.

Solo a dragon on a lower population server, and ask yourself why you not only got bronze, but didn’t get a chest. It just happens.
