Guild Wars 2

I posted this in another topic in the general forums but I thought I would also post it here and have others post their suggestions as well. A lot of the problems I see with guild bounties (Not all) are just the people still in the learning curves phase, just like dungeons when the game first came out.

I am giving everyone tips by explaining what my guild has done for Tier 3 bounties. We have yet to ever fail one and this week we even managed to finish with 5 minutes to spare. We do our Tier 3 with around 40-60 people. We have managed to do it with just 26 people before.

1. I can’t emphasize this enough to all people. DO NOT waste your time pre scouting it just leads to frustration and is not worth it. My guild did this the first two weeks and it was just a big head ach. When we decided to just not scout it has become a lot more fun.
2. Have everyone gather at a set location. We personally meet just north of lions arch @ Cornucopian Fields Waypoint.
3. Split up into 6 groups before you start your bounty.
4. When speaking in your guild chat have people refer to relevant information by putting “Party Leads Name: Target, location or other such information” this helps keep things from getting cluttered.
5. Assign each group a number 1-6, then when the bounty starts each group will know what target to go after from order on the list.
6. Spread out on the maps, being in actual parties of 5 helps here a lot.
7. Always ask into map chat if someone has seen your target, if someone replies only send 1 person at the target to confirm. Sometimes people lie, GW2 in game community is normally friendly in my experience but not always.
8. If you can fight targets near a waypoint, some fights are hard and nearby WP for people to spawn at helps.
9. If one group is finished send the group to help the target that is hardest to find not fight. Adding people to hard fights normally just make them harder due to scaling.
10. Pray you do not get Sotzz, he is the only target in my opinion needs to be reworked on finding him. I have been lucky so far with him but sooner or later our luck will run out.

I hope these tips help other people out. This is just the basics of how my guild successfully does Tier 3 Bounties every time. Same ideas apply to Tier 1 as well. We split into 2 groups of 5 and each group takes a different target. Also I know it’s not possible for everyone but having a person with commander title in every group helps.

Have any other tips/suggestions; please post them to help your fellow GW2 community.

Seems similar to the approach we are using. I do find searching after the mission has started more fun. The one thing we do different is that I as the mission leader put links to waypoints along the route in the chat for each group. This saves everyone from searching the map and find which waypoints to use. I simply have a list with links in a text file I can past quickly (http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Chat_link_format/0x04_codes)

Thank you for your post, it has some points that are helpful for me.

Interesting idea Grassrab, I’m going to incorporate this into my guild Tier 3 this week. This should help stop people ending up going to the same WP and searching the same area. Hopefully more people post additional tips so we can all learn.
