Guild Wars 2

Since beta weekend one I have continued to sporadically not get credit for defending a keep. I know you are required to kill an enemy (you can’t just rez/help your teammates), but even when I kill enemies (including getting xp/bonus xp) I sometimes get no reward when the timer reaches zero.

I’m unable to figure out exactly what is different about the times I get nothing versus the times I get something. Perhaps I’m not getting “enough” kills?

All events have a short timer, regardless if you contribute or not. If you get there too late, you wont get credit.

I run into this when I run into the grenth event slightly too late, and have had it happen on the Claw of Jormag event as well.

1. I’m ONLY refering to the events to defend a keep/tower

2. I’m talking about being present during the timer, and killing enemies during the timer. It was my understanding that those two things were the requirements to get credit. I seem to meet those requirements but only SOMETIMES get a reward (bronze or anything). About half the time the timer runs out and nothing happens, and then it resets.

im saying, if you get there with 30 seconds left, I wouldn’t expect a reward.

Even if in 30 seconds I kill 4 or 5 enemies? I’ve gotten rewards in situations like that. HOwever, I’ve also NOT gotten rewards in seemingly similar situations. I don’t really see a connection.

For instance right now I’m at Bay. I haven’t left the inner gate so I’ve been there for the entire timer. I’ve defend through 5 timers or so, I’ve killed something on every timer and I’ve only had a reward for 3 of them. Two just counted down and nothing happened.

Obviously Anet doesn’t want to reward you for defending. Just the 100+ other players on your realm in that map.
