Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

My guild just had an awesome guild bounty last night and I was wondering if others had similar stories of success and failure.

We are a relatively small guild and can only currently muster about 12 people on bounty night. We spread ourselves out as much as we can amongst the hardest to find bounties and gamble with the rest.

Last night 2 of 3 of our bounties were being followed once we started. We have all but myself (tailing/holding the 2nd mark) and another to go hunt the last, go down the first, but one player doesn’t have the wp. So i leave him there to hold the bounty while I go help.

Two minutes later our first bounty is about to die and the guy we left starts going… Halp! He’s attacking! Obviously he miss clicked and started the fight and was instantly killed. This also made the bounty disappear and would have to be found again. I direct all guildies to that zone to scour the place because he had a large path while i continued the hunt for the final on with a relatively short path.

So wih about 4 minutes left they find the bookloving skritt and begin taking him down… Meanwhile I finally find the last one being held by another guild. Suddenly over voice chat I hear moans of of death and the words “wp fast and get back”. So i’m figuring we were about to lose him again not to mention we hadn’t even started our last one. So we pull one of our teams over to me to start on the last.

Well we start up the last fight with about 3 of us there. short -fuse felix likes to litter the place with bombs.. Should have suspected that, I was thinking he’d be more like a separatist and have a long animation of planting a barrel. Half the team is downed and i’m close. (Did I mention we are now down to within 1 minute to kill). On teamspeak i hear “loading now and was praying that they meant the skritt was down”. But seeing us at less than 20s I just spammed every attack i could but he was still over half health and i go down.

So after mashing the downed attack till i died as the rest of he guild rushed over he hill to engage i wp and just start to weep as i tried to rush back and so did others who were watching the guild mission timer. 1s 0s…. Then Bam! Gold medal: event succeeded! BOUNTY COMPLETE!

Huge huzzah resounds over voice chat. We all look at guild panel in bewilderment of the 20 more guild merits we got! Some of us plainly shaking from excitement and disbelief! Then we head to fractals to calm our nerves!

Great game, great community! Ty all so much!

Funny bounty story.

So I’ve got a lock on one of our bounty targets and I’m just holding him there waiting on the GO word from our raid leader.

A guild goes running by – about 50-75 people, all heading north.
About 2 minutes later the same herd runs by, all heading south.

I have no idea what they were doing but it cracked me up.

Our guild completed our first bounty Saturday. Given that as a guild we are easily distracted and not completely organized, it was pretty impressive we were able to accomplish it.

We didn’t use voice chat either.

We’re also a small-med sized Guild and have done our two first bounties (Tier 1 and 2). We splitted up in 3 parties and were with 15 people.

We’ve had that Karka Guy, we’ve had that Scallywag with his 300 possible spawn points, but somehow we succeeded at finding them all by ourselves and completing Tier 1/2 without retrying. Everybody was happy and while we we’re pretty anxious about how the Bounties were going to be, we’ll be doing it with a lot of confidence next week.
