Guild Wars 2

Wait, I’m confused. So you didn’t like the communal heart quest function, and now you don’t like the private heart quest function? I never had an issue with too many people in a heart area that tagging a mob was even an issue. If you are experiencing this problem however, I would suggest getting a party together to do the heart events in a zone. A change to the system would more then likely cause more issues and bugs than it would be worth, IMO.

I think you are confused between Dynamic Events and Renown Hearts. No one can now, nor ever has been able to contribute to your personal Renown Heart’s progress, except you. If a DE is happening in the area of the Renown Heart, others can contribute to its progress, but that will not affect your Renown Heart, except if you have tagged a mob, and they help take it down, and that mob’s demise should fill the Renown Heart’s requirement, etc. But, only if you have tagged it before its demise.

I never saw another player contribute to my heart quests. Ever.

Inculpatus is correct. You and only you fill up a heart. No one else can do it for you. You must be thinking of events in some way. Maybe a bunch of people were doing an event near a heart you were working on and you thought they were helping to fill the heart.

I think you are mis-remembering OP. There was never the ability for other players to add to your Renown Heart progress.

Eos.6951:

One thing that consistently happened was I would walk past an area and because there were so many players in the zone at the time the heart-quest would be completed before I even got there.

This doesn’t make any sense, other people can’t complete hear-quests for you. And this was never possible, not even in beta.

What I bet is happening here is that he forgot he did these hearts. He’s coming across hearts he completed or partially completed the last time he played. He is now running up to these completed and partially completed hearts and think that other people have filled them in.

OP, If you don’t finish a heart before you leave the area the progress is saved until you get back. So now, even though you haven’t played in a while the game still remembers your progress on each heart.

As everyone has already said. OP, you are very mistaken with what you are recalling. It has never been as you described.
