Guild Wars 2

I was on Sorrow’s Furnace and we rocked the event. Sadly, all we got was 25 Alliance bags, and that was IT.

“Coordinate to stop three miasma deployments simultaneously to earn the Triple Threat achievement, which awards 10 Spinal Shards and bonus loot.
Rescue enough citizens and work together with the entire map to earn five tiers of rewards.
As players surpass each tier, contributors are rewarded Spinal Shards, Refugee’s Belongings, and Found Heirlooms.
Tiers are set at 100, 300, 600, 1000, and 1500 citizens rescued.
Those who remain until the miasma reaches lethality, participants will be rewarded with daily Dragonite Ore, champion bags, Blade Shards, and masterwork items.
For players who attain the highest tier, there’s a chance for ascended materials and rewards from previous Living World releases.”

This is the only screenshot I took. I forgot to took when we reached over 4000.

What happened? Is this a bug? We worked our kitten off to make and it doesn’t seem like we got our proper reward. 25 bags seems like a slap in the face for 4000 citizens

It’s bugged. I noticed the citizen saved was at 4000 right about the beginning. which is not possible.

and I think that’s the reason that Group Effort is bugged, doesnt pop up and doesnt give reward.

Yeah, this appears to happen with the main shard. That is, the counter doesn’t seem to reset between events. If you get into an overflow and go into LA, the counter will start back from zero.

However, I think the server does maintain counters for each individual player. So if the counter started at 4000 at the beginning of the event and you got it up to 5500, you would possibly get the full reward. I played the event in the main shard a number of times and one time I just go the highest tier reward without any of the lower tier rewards, and then I could no longer get any rewards from the main shard.

So if you want to avoid the bug, just try to delay your entry through the portals to get into an overflow.
