Guild Wars 2

On Friday July 12th around 8:30 PM eastern time my guild (Call of Fate) started with a Guild Bounty Mission that we completed successfully, then we moved on to a Guild Rush, this was our first time doing a Guild Rush, so we didn’t exactly know what to expect. However, well within the allotted time frame from starting the rush (30 minutes) we had 15/15 members complete the rush, get personal rewards, and loot the splendid chest.

After completing the Guild Rush, we moved on to doing a Guild Trek. However I didn’t realize until much later that we received a message that the Guild Rush failed and we did not get any guild merits for completing this event. It is a shame because merits are one of the gating factors for smaller guilds to unlocking the remaining guild missions (Challenges, Puzzle), so it is a bit frustrating when this happens.

So has anyone seen this problem? I read somewhere that guild members have to remain in the area until the rush timer is completed, however does this mean we have to wait through the 30 minute timer from activating the rush, or does this mean someone needs to stay in the zone from the 6hr window in which you have to begin the rush?

Also I wonder if this problem is associated with guilds with members on different home servers? We have members on 2 different servers (Jade Quarry and Ehmry Bay) that participated in the Guild Rush, could this have lead to failure?

We had this happen. It seems that whoever starts the rush at the rush location has to stay in the zone until the 30 min clock is complete.

At least that’s what we do now and we get “Rush completed”.

Had the “fail” twice…. once where the guy who started logged off. And once when I was just in a different zone.

Hope this helps. Would like to hear if others have this issue.

It doesn’t have to be the person who started it just a person in the area (with the event notification on their screen) the same goes for the puzzle

Thanks for the intel. Now I have a new task for the newbies.

Also on the rush even after you have the 15 if you want you can switch to alts and run in again until the timer runs out to get the chest again. Tho if your luck is like ours with the Quaggan one you may not want to do it again.

Quaggan isn’t that bad, just abuse the fact that underwater you can move in 3 dimensions.

The annoyance we find with it is the inconsistency with damage from worms and urchins (sometimes they hit for small amounts others its a 1 shot kill)
the fact that you cannot use the 1 skill and turn at the same time, and the range on the mines .. sometimes you can go right near it just don’t touch others its a matter of don’t even look in its general direction.
