Guild Wars 2

When you attempt to start the Scratch Sentry Defense guild challenge by talking to the guild initiative representative inside the challenge instance, he says, “Mission closed. Please try again later.” Isn’t working on our guild or our friend’s guild.

This is still an issue.. I’m not sure why more people aren’t reporting this but, it is happening to us to.

Yup, same thing happened to us just now

Same thing happened to us today

I have also posted the same problem with the same guild mission, elsewhere in this forum.

Yes, we encounter this issue as well.

Anet…seriously?

My guild just tried to attempt to do Scratch Sentry Defense, and the same bug happened. We even left the instance, abandoned the mission and reactivated it again. The representative still says the mission is closed and won’t start the challenge.

wow we just had this, i am really suprised we haven’t seen a response yet

Same; so sad anet (dev) hasn’t responded.

I wish I would have seen this thread before going to lead Guild Missions tonight. :X Same deal – same challenge – same “Challenge Closed” popup.

Waiting on a response from Anet abou tthis

Same. ANet seems determined to never comment on a guild mission issue.

Happened to my guild today as well.

Our guild encountered this bug today during both our morning and evening guild mission sessions.

We had exactly the same issue.

Yep was bugged yesterday. Couldn’t start it so missed that mission.

And it’s again in the list for this week.

oh yay… :/

I tested it on both of the challenges for the week, Deep Trouble and Scratch Sentry Defense. Both produce the same message. McKenna responded to me on Reddit about it and said that they were going to change the text on the message and that if you waited a bit it should clear up and to let them know if it didn’t. I messaged her back that it didn’t clear up. So they’re aware of it. Let’s hope we can get it fixed this week before we lose 900 more favor.

We had the same issue with Scratch Sentry Defense yesterday evening (UTC+1). We tried the challenge several times. One time we tried for at least 5 minutes. So if it should clear up it takes at least 5 minutes to do so. That is too long.

Same here.

This is the 3rd week my guild loses most of their rewards because of these bugs.

Still bugged, it looks like all the challenges are bugged.

Having the same issue, and as a small guild, this is killing us on getting much needed favor.

Same thing happened to us today on both of our guild challenges. Deep Trouble and Scratch Sentry Defense. Both had the same dialogue of “Mission Closed. Please try again later.”

Bump.

Been a week, no dev reading this? Half the favor is being held up in “disabled” missions.

If you disabled them, then why the hell did you put them on rotation?

This happened to us for both of our guild challenges tonight – Scratch Sentry and Deep Trouble.

They fixed the other guild mission bugs but chose to just shut down others?

Even worse, there is NO WAY for my guild to earn the favor we need from those missions.

Anet needs to fix guild missions. It was sad – now it’s just pathetic.

Yep, both Guild Challenges did not work tonight.

Half a year to complet the guild hall, now we know why I guess.

Tried it last night with the guild several times and it didn’t work. Tried again this morning, same result. I go in the instance, the guy waves me over, then tells me to try again later. Dude, if you’re going to wave me over at least give me something to do! Well, he is Sylvari so maybe it’s a Mordremoth thing.

Happened to my guild too yesterday.

It is time to fix guild missions. Since the expansion, the bugs – and now the UNANNOUNCED closure of guild challenges – have restricted guild growth, forced guilds into content they dont want to play and created a frustrating experience out of something that used to be fun.

I love this game and, for everything else, love the expansion. However, letting these issues persist as long as they have is destroying an important part of the game for many of us.

It is time for ANET to forget about raids and all the other new stuff for a bit and fix guild missions (and then, hopefully, give us some new ones for the first time in 2.5 years).

Not forgetting Guild puzzles still don’t give out rewards to everyone who completes them..

Also, Why in Lyssa’s name do we need to interact with the flag twice in puzzles and challenges. Surely a single click here to join in instance would do..

Omnishambles.. really..

Seriously arenanet gw2 you make it impossible for small guilds to get favor I want to unlock my guild hall but these missions have to many bugs scratch sentry says it’s closed :/ and aquiring favor seems to be difficult for those who don’t have a lot of members playing please fix your game some people spend a lot of time on this and it is getting to a point where it is ruining my experiance there should be other ways for us to acquire favor besides missions especially for those who don’t count on other players often this is ridiculous

I am experiencing this with my guild as well.

we got the same it says disabled…….and we have the same one AGAIN this week…..really anet?? you owe all the guilds Favor for this and ALL the buggy missions!

It is still happening.

Almost three months since missions were in working order – its time to get them fixed.

Bumping this post. My guild and another guild both tried the timberline falls guild challenge tonight and neither of us could get it started. Fix it devs. We paid money for this crap.

This was really disappointing. We met up with another 2 guilds on the way to the Scratch Sentry Defense challenge and none of us could do it. Can you please at least disable it until you fix it?

Bump!
It was still occuring today.

You know whats worse then the buggy game? Devs or forum moderators not even POSTING something here to let us know they even acknowledge this as an issue.

I understand if its broken, we all see that. At LEAST TELL US your working on a fix so we know you saw this crap!

Or better yet, tell us if your freakin’ gonna disable it in the first place.

How about you auto award all the guilds that HAVE these missions on their rotation the favor for free to make up for this horridly unnecessary transgression. The middle ground is we would be accepting the loss of our personal rewards.

Do it anet. Your killing your game with crap like this.

Can confirm, still bugged, guild ran into this today.

ours is bugged :c

Still bugged and considering how long it takes for the rotation to cycle through, it’s disappointing and frustrating as a guild leader. This is unfortunately hampering a lot of guilds (including my own) and their progress within the guild hall. I could have had several upgrades done this week had we been able to complete our challenges. It’s enough of an issue that we need overwhelming amounts of flax and coarse sand for upgrades without starving for favor on top of it. I understand it was a holiday week but the devs should have disabled challenge activation in the guild panel if they were aware it wasn’t working properly or at the very least posted something acknowledging the matter by now. My guild members are starting to get disheartened with the sheer number of bugs that continue to prevent progress and I’m honestly not surprised that activity game-wide is beginning to drop.

Yep, still having this issue.

WHEN WILL THEY COMMENT ON THIS?!

Ohoni.6057:

WHEN WILL THEY COMMENT ON THIS?!

They probably won’t, it’ll probably just be in a patch note when they get around to it.

Same here.
Same thing happened to us today (and the week before) on both of our guild challenges. Deep Trouble and Scratch Sentry Defense. Both had the same dialogue of “Mission Closed. Please try again later.”

This is a known bug so why are we getting so many challenges in our weekly mission opportunities? I suggest disabling those missions from appearing in the opportunities as to not waste guilds’ time & effort.

Extremely annoying that this still is not fixed!

Nice. 2 out of 6 pve missions are disabled just because.
