Players will now earn personal rewards on guild rushes as soon as they cross the finish line.
Players will now earn personal rewards on guild treks as soon as they interact with the trek icons.

Awesome to hear that some of the guild missions were fixed. Trek wasn’t much of an issue but puzzles were. Posting to see if perhaps Puzzle was fixed and maybe left off the list.

The waiting for the reward was not the main problem in rushes. The problem was to finish the rush and to get transformed back to normal. :-(

I’m also curious to learn if puzzles have been fixed; about a quarter of our members didn’t get personal rewards last night, for no discernable reason.

The reward was definitely the issue for our guild. If the reward works right now, you can hit 6 to drop the transformation at the end.

What is missing from the notes also is whether Favor is rewarded for the guild successfully completing Rush.

Also, there were issues with megaservers attempting to move guilds into different IP’s mid-rush.

Edit lol, noticed Shylock wanted to stay transformed. Misread that. *

Here’s my beef with Treks:

You get a set amount of points, but you may have more guild mates than points to look for.

From what we saw, people in the same zone, standing almost on top of the zone got credit…most of the time…but not all the time.

So, with this change, does it mean that if a guild member is in the same zone as a point that gets clicked on, will they get credit for the trek or will they need to click on an actual trek spot?

Also, agreed, I’m hoping rewards for puzzles were fixed.

Also hoping they fixed the bug where you still activate traps after transforming back during a rush/race.

Also wondering how this affects the issue that if another guild has a rush active, your guild likely doesn’t get credit since rushes have different timers due to different difficulties. If nothing changes for this, can we get an instanced rush? Cuz otherwise guilds will still head out to do their rush and then have to wait upwards of 30 minutes to get a chance to start it for them (wait may be longer if another guild is already waiting).

I’m really glad effort is being put into fixing guild missions and I love that puzzles are instanced, but guild missions are still in a really rough state. It’s really hard to keep up morale in a guild that’s always prided itself in getting all members their commendations. Last night we did guild missions, we took longer than ever to get them done due to bugs and wait times for rushes and we’ve been running missions since they were released.

That is annoying but the workaround was relatively simple.

1) Make sure nobody is standing on the finish line
2) cross the finish line in a single file

This is a mixed bag but mostly a bug.

Sometimes you will get credit for rushes started by other guilds and sometimes you don’t.

We did two rushes last week

When get to to the first one another guild was in the middle of doing it. We activated ours and a couple of guild members completed that rush. They got there personal reward and the guild got the favor.

Then we moved to another rush. I did that with the guild while repping another one that also has that rush active. At the end I got my personal reward and a prompt to accept credit. I accepted the credit and … the game reported that the rush failed. -_-

I suspect it might have something to do with getting credit for one of the 15 completions that are required to complete the rush. In the first rush where it worked correctly I am fairly certain one of our guild members was among those 15 while in the second rush where it did not work for me I was doing it after it was already at 15/15.
