Guild Wars 2

I’m a member of a very small guild consisting of friends and family. Tonight we tried our first BTM. I was surprised the time allotted to find and kill the target was only 15 minutes, but we found him in time. But as soon as we started the fight (Diplomat Tarban) we were all downed almost instantaneously. And unfortunately we never found him again.

I was under the impression these things were implemented for small guilds. Did we do something drastically wrong? Or are these things a lot harder than was implied? Thanks.

Sounds like confusion got you.

As for what they are designed for, well they are training for the bounties, they are I believe the same as the full bounties just less targets and different reward (inf to help get to the unlock of actual)

So the design is still for guilds in total, the smaller guild will generally have more issue with them, but that said they should all be “doable” but as some have had large multi-teams struggle it comes down to how well you work together and such.

They use the same target list as the regular missions. It just requires you to kill 1 target in 15 minutes instead of 2/3/6 targets.

The “for small guilds” part is just the 3000 Influence. The idea is that small guilds have trouble generating enough Influence to unlock/burn for these missions. In theory the 3000 Influence will help them get there faster.

We haven’t gotten him yet so I am not sure what the strategy should be. I have seen another guild do it with around 20-30 people. It didn’t work out very well for the either. It might have been the scaling but he was applying 25 stacks of confusion every time while spamming chaos storm all over the place. Depending on how many people you had fighting him it is possible that you might actually need to cut back on the number of people in the fight.

We didn’t have many, so it sounds like he’s just a tough fight. Thanks for the clarification on BTMs, though; my misconception on what they were is the answer to my original question.
