Guild Wars 2

Anet message on September 30th 2015,
“However, if you want to participate in guild challenges and puzzles with friends and other guilds, you can still ferry players into the puzzles and challenges. We want to make sure that we aren’t blocking guilds from playing their missions when they want, while also allowing them to play with players outside of their guild.
Entering instanced missions is really easy! The same guild-mission flags that exist in the open world still exist, except this time when you interact with them and agree to start the mission, a blue portal will surround the flag. Players can then enter the instance if they’re in the guild or partied with a guild member. It’s as simple as that!”

Our guild tried to help a smaller guild with their Guild Challenge and we could not enter their instance. Even though we were in a party with the guild’s members. The other guild could not join our instance either. We gave the guild temporary invites so they could join in with us.

Is there another way a guilds can help each other, without needing to send invites and can the guild get Guild Favor? Or was this feature never implemented?

Thanks everyone

I may have to move this post to another section on the forums to ask. /final bump

I have mainly experience with sprints and bounties. Both work fine with several guild working simultaneously on the the same goal.

I faced once the same problem with a guild challenge. Could be a bug.

I don’t know, wish other guilds would comment about their experiences. Thank you for your response.

We have successfully ferried unguilded people in to instances, the system seems to work the same for guild halls, challenges, and puzzle instances.

Did you invite them and make sure they selected your guild on the entry portal? There’s a menu/dropdown where you can select from several guilds.

Thank you for your response, we had them join squad and party. When they walked up to the entrance portal, they did not see our guild name to join the instance. Only their guild name appeared. They only saw our guild name when we invited them to our guild.

I was also unable to join on their instance when they tried starting their mission. When I walked up to the entrance portal, their guild name did not appear.

Guildie just informed me of the following:
If someone is doing a Hard Mode guild challenge for “A Mission” in hard section and another guild is doing a easy guild challenge for “A Mission”…the two guilds cannot help each other. Only one guild will receive the credit.
