Guild Wars 2

Are you severly upleveled?

I have had it bug before where I do not get credit, but it hasen’t happened for a long time.

Maybe you are not tagging enough.

My guess is if you just spent 3 hours getting in to stonemist you got much more exp from kills that you would have for capping.

Edit: I remember when this would happen to me I would hear other guildies say the same thing. I just wrote it off as a bug that had been fixed as I have not had it happen for a couple of weeks.

It seems like, from my perspective of watching this happen to me a few times, it has to do with getting a hit or 2 in on the Keep/Tower/Whatever Lord. I have noticed several times if I didn’t make it to the Lord in time to hit him once or twice, even standing in the circle it would skip credit about half of the time for me.

EDIT: This is just a theory, I have no way of proving this without Anet saying something to that affect. Just throwing out an idea.

Yeah, something bugs about this. When BP raids, theres usually 1 or 2 people that won’t get the achievement from capturing a keep regardless of hitting the lord or being in the circle. It’s obviously not a common bug, but it definitely does occur.

It is buggy, I think. I can assist taking down a keep lord from beginning to end and end up with a blue as a reward. Or, I can barely make it to the circle, hit the lord one time with an auto attack as he dies and get 2 badges of honor and a blue!

Meanwhile in a dark programmers room stuffed with pizzaboxes:

if account = nateeight.1498
then set exp_award = 0

submit build.

P.S. It is unwise to insult the people you want fix it. Honest mistakes happen, bugs happen. Grow up.

Nateeight.1498:

I put in a bug report with no kitten response.

Once you submit a bug report, it goes into a queue behind all the per-existing bug reports. That means it’ll take time before anyone reads it.

Once someone has read the bug, they’ll triage it.

Assuming it’s not a situation they’re already working on, they’ll have to spend time to investigate, first by trying to recreate it (including as many pertinent details as possible in your report will help immensely with that) and then by figuring out what’s actually causing it.

Then they have to decide how to best fix it.

Then they have to test that fix.

Once all that has happened, they’ll reply to you with accurate information.

So, be patient and be polite. The tone you’ve used in your posts won’t make any of the above happen one micro-second faster, all it does is make you appear extremely childish.

You missed out a step on the bug-fixing:

Which part of the game does it relate to? WvW? Put it in the ‘to be dealt with whenever someone has a spare moment’ ie. just after they release the next exciting instalment of Jump Puzzle 2.

Lag battles = chance to fail ‘standing in circle’-event reward.
