Here is this week’s supplemental report in screenshot form. This mission bugged in a manner consistent with previous reports. Please read the above for details.
Some things of note:
-Last week I do not recall any bugs.
-This week, we encountered something strange. The Completion Bar went full upon activation for a brief second, then went back down to 0/3. This was for an escort 3 yaks guild mission – which then completed successfully as expected. I saw it happen again for a different mission, but forgot the type.
-Possibility based on intuition: Having a guild member open the guild panel, select the guild mission about to be activated, and then having another guild member activate the mission keeps the mission from bugging out? We will test the theory next week.
We did an escort 8 yaks, it jumped to 8/8 upon activation. As promised, we had people watching it, having more than one person watching the mission as it activates does not stop the bug. We were able to re-activate it a few hours later (1-2), but it repeated the bug.
Also, a 10k rank jumped to 10k/10k upon activation. Please see attached screenshot. I did not fill out a bug report for these incidents, we were pressed for time.
I just wanted to give an update that we believe we have identified why some of the missions with progression based objectives are launching as if they were already complete. However, fixing it is delicate work so we cannot provide estimates on it. Thank you all for your continued posts and information (and for those who use /bug and report issues there) as it helped greatly in chasing down the issue.
Also, I’ve posted to reddit – but we’re also working on fixing the WvW Challenge: Obsidian Sanctum mission as we’ve identified the issue there as well.
Thanks everyone for your continued support and reports!

Would continued bug reports be of assistance now that you have identified the issues?
Reporting on those specific issues aren’t as needed currently (since you all have provided an amazing bounty of information to work from), but continued reports on the guild missions in general are great and are always appreciated if folks have the time to offer them. And if you all do want to continue reporting on continued issues, we will continue to collect and add the information to our investigations. More information never hurts.
<3 Thank you all as always for your continued vigilance and reports!
I’ve got the time, and I’d rather help nail these bugs, so I don’t mind continuing reporting. Perhaps you’ll find something that will help.
This week we only had one mission bug out on us: Obsidium Sanctum. We did, however, manage to find the exact point the mission bugs. We all grouped up into a blob and moved as a unit into the final tower (The one with the final chest and exit portal above it). Upon entering the final room, we received the “Mission Complete” message. I believe that one of our members got the reward chest, but everyone else did not (5-6 members). In an effort to defeat the bug, I had everyone stay at the puzzle’s finish, re-activated the mission and dropped a portal. I jumped down below the “Final Reward Tower,” ran a short distance away, came back and entered the room to see if it finished the mission (it did not), then portaled back to the top of the tower (where the chest is). This resulted in the same mission complete message with no personal rewards given.
