Guild Wars 2

I understand that training missions are training missions. They are not meant to be easy. But when it takes the full 15 mins for 3-5 people to find the target… maybe (we are 0/8 in actually finding one of these bosses in the timelimit, and yes we are using the guide)… it makes me wonder how small guilds such as mine are supposed to do the real thing when we have multiple targets spanning multiple maps, even if we were hacking and could 1 shot the targets.

At least give a general idea of which part of the zone the boss is in. Otherwise this is a lottery to throw influence away in unless you have 10+ people per boss and a semi-populated zone just to find the bugger.

You can always ask ppl in LA to help you with your missions, no?
Or ask other guilds to help, firt a bounty hunt or training for you guild then one for the other guild.

if you have 18 ppl online, helping with a guild bounty, you can find all targets first and then start the mission. Then you know excactly where they are, just sent waypoints and you can kill the targets in 15 mins, you don’t have to find them anymore then.

Seems the ANet definition of a small guild and the ingame reality differs…

Now its getting rediculous. 3 people are not even a group. dont call that a guild. we are a very small guild (10-15 online at weekends) and we do fine guild mission wise. the training helps alot (with influence – what its meant for). Stop this kitten. Tommorrow someone will open a topic about how he founded a guild by himself and now has troubles soloing guild missions and how unfair that is.

I activated 3x Bounty Training yesterday. Completed one. Mine is a 2-man guild and it took us 5-8 mins to locate the target. Unless you’re unlucky and got Prisoner/Karka I don’t see any problems..
Killing the target, on the other hand, can be hard. We got 2-MULT and had to give up cuz he was too powerful for 2 man. Almost killed Trekksa, 5% left before time ran out.
It wasn’t the prime time for my server so no one— absolutely NO ONE was in those zones.

most targets can be found in under 3 minutes by 5 people. Usually it takes about 1-2 minutes to find a target if you have 5 people searching.

Killing it is another matter but the majority of the targets can be 4-5 manned, (keep in mind you might have to edit your builds, all berserker builds arnt ideal for some of these bosses for example).

My guild completed a T1 bounty on sunday, with neither target prescouted. We had 6 people online.
