Guild Wars 2

I’m a relative newb to the WvW, just hit rank 58.. or something

I’ve captured the SMC 6 times so far, but I’ve only gotten the reward 4 times.

The last two consecutive captures didn’t give me any “event rewards” and the last capture happened just 2 minutes ago, resulting me in rage quit.

And this isn’t only SMC specific, this happened once more when I was capturing a tower.

I’ve already posted this before in a General Discussion forum, with no replies so far =(

I initially thought this was a booster-related bug, as I was spamming various boosters @ the time.

But this time (few minutes ago), I wasn’t using a single booster. Thus, my “booster theory” is garbage. Something’s bugging the WvW (Now I’m doubting mass zerg caps)

Is this intended? But how’s it even possible to take down SMC without a zerg.

The no credit while stand in the cap bug has been going on in wvw since it began and A-net hass not done anything about it. The bug tends to be caused by tapping camp/tower/keeps and swapping maps before your can flip it. Normally if you tap bay and go to flip north camp. If your zerg cames and flips bay when you are on the map you get bronze/silver credit. But if you tap a camp/tower/keep and swap maps(or d/c) it leaves a lingering dynamic event for that map that can not be completed. Whenever you go back to that map and flip what ever it was that you could not cap before you do not get credit.

I have reported this issue hundred of times and A-net has not responded to me. I would say that it is a known bug but A-net has never responded to any of my tickets about that issue. I guess A-net does not think this is a major problem even though it has cost my dozens of levels in wxp of the year. I know what causes it so I try to stay on a map long enough to flip a defend camp/tower/keep or give up. I just stopped reporting the issue since A-net is not paying attention to my tickets anyways :P.

It’s a 2 year old bug.

At this point I think most people have just accepted its existence as another RNG mechanic like the mystic forge or precursors.

But if it was a bug affecting the Living Story.. it would be fixed in under 4 hours.

Yep, bugged. It’s happened to me before and it sucked because I was on an uplevel and uplevels need the XP from an SMC capture more than anyone else.

It is said for SMC you need to get credit on killing a guard, tap a gate, and also stand in the circle to ensure credit for the capture. Other keeps and towers you can usually get credit just from killing a guard and/or tapping a gate, but for SMC you need to do all three.
