Guild Wars 2

On Dragonbrand we’ve been enjoying Marionette way more than Wurm. To the non-believers that think getting pubs together for Marionette isn’t possible or feasible or desirable, I can understand where you’re coming from, but when we wrote our guide for our server and started pub-stomping her (I exaggerate, but we’re getting her downed on a 1/2 or 1/3 tries now), none of those involved were from the same guild, not to mention that we didn’t even know each other before then really.

That being said, my question to any admin that might read this is:

From Day 1 until yesterday, I was receiving the Bonus Boxes on the bottom right hand corner of my screen as usual (they’re named Warden 1-5 based on how far your attempts get, granted). Today, just now actually, we beat her again… and I wasn’t getting any boxes any more.

I’ll add that I’ve run/driven pubs for Marionette about 36 times since release now and I would love to keep doing it to help the new players that weren’t off of work last week/have kids/deal with life and haven’t had time until now to fight Marionette. But my motivation to do so is shot if I’m not getting anything out of it.

Is this on purpose?

And while I still have your attention, the teleporting Twisted Nightmare Champs in Lane 5 (northernmost champion). They’re so much of a thing that I included them in my guide for the Marionette on DB. I really hope that’s not intentional/can be fixed.

I’ve run this event probably as much as you or close to it and I always get the box. Maybe send in a support ticket?

Sounds like a bug; put a ticket in. I’ve also had to deal with those teleporting champs on Lane 5; they blink right over the first barrier. Very annoying.

The teleporting champs aren’t only a problem in lane 5, but I think it is most pronounced in lane 5 because of the length of the lane. I assumed it was actually a lag issue. On any lane that I am in, I experience the twisted champs suddenly being as far as two-thirds up the lane when I had just been DPSing them right at the bottom of the lane. This only happens with the twisted champs, none of the other mobs or players teleports like this. I think it has something to do with the barricades. I don’t recall this happening when there were no barricades or the barricades were down.
