Guild Wars 2

Putting cost for unlocks aside, I’m now confused by the pre-requisite unlocks for Guild Missions.

We were told a few days ago that Art of War V would be needed to unlock Bounties, which would be the “First” guild mission category. The implication was that you needed to unlock Bounties first and that Bounties, requiring AoW V, meant that AoW 5 was required to unlock progress through GMs.

Now, I see that there is a guild Mission Type that can be unlocked for each of the existing trees. Are the other, non-bounty Mission types even in the game right now? If so, why let us believe that we would need to unlock AoW V in order to even start the process of unlocking GMs? If not, why not be clear that Bounties are the only type currently in game?

It’s a big, confusing mess for no real reason. I hope someone can answer these questions:

Are Bounties the only Guild Mission Type in game at the moment?

If the other mission types are in game, do you need to unlock Bounties first, or can you just start with one of the other Mission Types?

(For the Developers): If the other types are in game and can be unlocked independantly, why did you give us the impression that we better start working on unlocking AoW 5 ASAP if we wanted to be able to unlock Guild Missions?

Other guild mission types are ingame currently but no one can do them because you need Guild Merits to unlock them in addition to influence. It takes 30 Guild Merits to unlock Guild Trek, which is the next Guild Mission to be unlocked. Unfortunately, the weekly Guild Merit cap for Guild Bounty is 25 so no one can unlock Guild Trek just yet.

Guild Missions cannot be unlocked independently except for Guild Bounty. Other guild missions are require the previous guild mission in the chain to be unlocked first.

Bounty –> Treks –> Rushes –> Challenges –> Puzzle.

It takes roughly 9 weeks for a guild to unlock Guild Puzzle btw due to the Guild Merit cap.
