Guild Wars 2

Awarded upon successfully reaching tier 4 during the nighttime meta-event in Verdant Brink.
100% or above participation during the day is not required, only night.

Tier 4 MAP ? or Tier 4 CAMP ?

If it is camp, it is bugged.
If it is MAP, it will almost never happen. I only ever see Tier 2 on Map.

T4 map, not camp. As far as I know, nothing requires getting a pact camp to t4. And while T4 won’t happen all the time, it does get done sometimes. Best thing to do is just keep an eye on the LFG once it’s close to nightfall; usually any maps trying to get to T4 will post to get more people in.

It’s a T4 map. Tried it tonight and got to T3. I was pretty kittened. The achievement just says finish the meta, not that you need T4.

When stuff like that isn’t worded right and leaves you guessing, is something that really annoys me. They need to change the collection text.

Just last night a guy showed the map I was in an easy way to get T4.

So, I was in the usual map, not enough people, not enough commanders. We lost A LOT of the camps during the defense phase, almost no upgrades, and didn’t even hit T3 before the choppers landed.

This guy pipes up and says to just do the bosses with the minimum amount of people necessary to get them done before the timer ends, and have everyone not on or having completed a boss, doing every event on the ground they can possibly find. We wound up getting T4 easily.

Or, in short, depending entirely on the defense phase to get you to T4, is exactly what screws people out of getting it. Clearing the entire map of veteran mordrem, supply runs, and salvage missions, will easily get you an entire tier up on the map reward scale.

I think that might have changed in the April patch, because I’m pretty sure it wasn’t always like that. But yes, I did it the next day and did beat T4 again, not for the first time obviously.

It’s always been like that, Vayne, but the April patch changed the ground ‘bosses’ from champions to veterans, so they’re far easier to do.

The general rule of thumb is to be 40-50% into tier 2. Then as long as you kill all bosses and either have a ground crew to mop up events, or mop after bosses time permitting, then t4 can be achieved. That has been the case since before the April update.

I’m sure it has but I don’t think most casual players know that, I didn’t until I was told. Nearly every time I do the VB meta event tons of players seem to label the map a lost cause as soon as you lose a single camp during the defense phase, and just stand around waiting for T2 or T3 rewards after completing a boss or two.
