Guild Wars 2

The reward for the clocktower as already way below what it should be.

1 good item per account for the whole Halloween.

But when doing it again you did get 3 or 4 candy bags. Well thats something.. way below what it should be. Better was if you could collect a armor set or something but oke..

However today I first got some useless crystals and the second run an empty chest.. totally empty. Did try it another run and again empty. This means that the small chest on the way are more useful then the one on the top.

This is a bug? Or this is change done on purpose because some people might be able to farm a few candy bags in that way and farming / grinding anything else then gold always get patched out because it would make the gem 2 gold transfer less interesting?

I sure hope it’s a bug but any clarification would be nice because it was already extremely bad as it was but this just rude towards people who like to do JP’s.

Thnx for fixing this!
So it was a bug.

1. Does it help alts?
2. Does it hurt warriors?

If the answer to either question is yes then it is a bug. If the answer to either question is no then it is working as intended. This handy help sheet will help you determine the status of most things in game. You are welcome.

I also got dime a dozen fragments on first run and then nothing on further runs. If this is on purpose then it’s ridiculous! It’s not the best way to farm gold gold but it is one of the most fun. I’d rather use my skill to farm a jp and try to improve, get faster and more consistent than mindlessly spray a boss in a zerg. If it has been nerfed then it’s such a poor decision by anet.

Since you’re asking if this is a bug (Title: Clocktower Empty Chest Bug), would this not be better served in the Game Bug sub-forum?

Only if the answer is yes.

A moderator put it in “Game Bugs” so I guess that means it’s a bug. Gonna check now if they fixed the bug.

Play the way you want right?

I would like an official statement from Anet about this.

It’s not in the patch notes… There is something about it in the patch notes:

“Added 20 Empyreal Fragments as a daily account reward for completing the Mad King Tower jumping Puzzle as a subsequent reward after first time completion.”

but not that you don’t get the candy bags a after the first run. So maybe they bugged that when putting in the daily Empyreal Fragments.

In addition a moderated moved my question to bugs page suggesting it’s a bug.

however I still miss 2 thinks. A official statement that it is a bug and or a patch to fix it.

Just for the record, I was not even really doing the JP to farm those bags, I just like doing the JP but the bags where then a nice little extra. Farming the labyrinth works better if you want those bags.

+1 I really enjoy the clocktower, but I can’t stomach opening an empty chest.

Would be neat if they made it competitive and that had some kind of reward.

Noticed this started happening to me today as well. Are some people still getting candy bags or is this happening to everyone?

i just got two empty chests in a row, not loving it.

Still not fixed.. got the 20 empyreal fragments… and then dozens of empty chests afterward. What the hell is going on?
