Guild Wars 2

Does anyone know what the trick is to avoid this? I know standing in the circle doesn’t work nor is killing the lord claimer.

Do I have to be in a party? Do I have to hit the gate until I get gate XP? Is it because there is just too many people?

Edit: Im trying to specifically avoid this bug for capture, so normal method of getting credit will probably not work.

So far we got
1. logging out and logging back in
2. leave keep area and come back (although for capture we don’t have notification so how would we know we need to leave and come back?)

Logging out and logging back in usually solves this for me. However, tagging at least one NPC/enemy or tagging the door/wall should get you at least bronze credit.

Sometimes the event randomly won’t trigger for you. Normally the event will appear in the upper right hand corner of your screen, but sometimes despite entering an enemy keep and attacking guards there will be no event on your screen which results in you getting no credit when the keep is capped. Only thing that might work is to try leaving the keep area and then coming back to try trigger the event again.

It can be a bit funky. Ive had keep capture credit when I am and have been on the opposite side of the map the entire time, like in situations where I am specifically hitting something else to pull them away right before a keep rush. Dealing damage to the door or NPC’s and being in the ring usually makes sure of credit for me though.

Take this situation as an example:

I was sitting on an AC defending hills while my team wakittenting the enemy’s bay. I tagged nearly the entire zerg before they got out of combat and ported to bay. They were wiped at bay and I still got kill credit for a lot of them, and because they were part of the bay defense event, when my team capped bay I got a gold for the event.

pretty screwy, huh?
