Guild missions rewards bug
I’m currently in 2 guilds, let’s call them guild 1 and guild 2. I was repping guild 1 while running with my friends from guild 2 in wvw. They activated their wvw guild missions and I got credits for all of them. However, everytime I get credit, a random guild mission from guild 1 gets flagged as me having received its reward (the chest icon is open while the shield icon is unlit, occurs to both pve and wvw missions). I thought it was just a display bug but during guild 1’s missions at a later time (I only do pve missions with them), I didn’t get any of the rewards from those missions with an open chest icon. This is the second week I see it happens.
This isn’t a bug — it’s the new way that missions work. Instead of getting one bounty and one trek etc, each guild now gets ‘slots’ for easy, medium, hard (and further divided into PvP, WvW, and PvE, depending on choices made by the leadership).
By default, each guild gets one each of easy, medium, and hard and can earn additional slots. If you earn you personal reward for ‘easy’ then you cannot get that same reward for the easy mission in any other guild. Your “Guild 1” might have a WvW mission as ‘easy’ and “Guild 2” might have a PvE mish, in which case: doing the WvW would count as the ‘easy’ and you wouldn’t get to have a second helping from “Guild 2”.
On the whole, I like this system better:
- It’s easy to see in the guild panel if I’m still eligible (personal rewards) and/or if the guild is (guild rewards).
- Missions are free (no more start up costs and no queuing costs).
- Missions can be triggered as many times as needed, so that everyone can get the easy|med|hard personal rewards and guild can try more than once for the challenging ones.
