There was a guild in LA claiming to be able to run guild puzzles already. This requires 250 guild merits. Is there some method we are missing in obtaining guild merits or is there an exploit in the system? As far as my guild can tell the guild merits actually possible are as follows:

Patch week: 25 guild merits from T3 bounty mission
Reset last night at daily reset time
25 guild merits from T3 bounty
purchase trek missions -30 merits
Trek completion 30 merits

= 50 total merits

I don’t see any way guilds could already have 250 merits.

To unlock Guild Puzzle, a Guild would have had to have bought Guild Bounty Unlock (30K infl + 3 day build), Arch VI (30K infl + 10 day build), run Guild Bounty Tier 3 10 times successfully to earn 250 merits, then Guild Puzzle Unlock (30K infl + 7 day build) then the Puzzle itself (200 infl + 1 day build).

Certainly, they could have boosted all of those builds…..and done nothing but run Bounties…so I guess it’s possible, but highly improbable that they would have had in excess of 990K influence to get it all that fast.

That’s not the problem, my guild which is only semi active pulls in about 30k influence a day, plenty of guilds have over a million influence. The problem is you only get the guild merits once per week no matter how often you run them. The maximum merits you can have right now is 50.

People have been linking 20+ guild comms in chat so there is apparently something my guild doesn’t know or there is an exploit. I really just want the devs to tell us how their new mission system works. They implemented this system and told us nothing about it so our guild doesn’t know what’s an exploit and what is just doing things efficiently.

I believe there is some way to reset the mission progress. Our guild discovered today that we’re able to gain another 25 merits today, despite having done a bounty at about midnight friday/1am saturday. Obviously it has been less than a week, and all signs would point to the week reset being friday, which means that somehow our merit cap got reset.

If this merit cap reset is able to be induced by players, they could have obtained the 250 merits through resetting it constantly.

Right but it should have been on friday yes?
But we did a bounty after fridays reset. And our mission status has reset today. So unless the reset was saturday, which I dont think it is, as other guilds claimed it was friday, and all signs indicate it was friday, then there is a way to reset the mission status somehow.

that’s a really strange time to do reset.
I still need to try and hunt down this person who seems to have a ton of commendations (ive seen him use at least 3 banner tonics, so either he used 3 of his 4 commendations for basically nothing, or he had 20)

If guilds arent lying about being able to unlock puzzles, then it requires investigation.

Thanks for the info about reset though.
