Guild Wars 2

I did some number Crunching on the event, First of all if you want to buy everything costing above 150 Blooms (the skins, tonics, and minis) it costs 2140 Blooms and 68 Gold. Now if you think about the event as a whole and your maximum earning potential there are approximately 18 events per day for the 4 day event, meaning there is approximately 72 invasions total(give a few extra depending on the time it went online vs the event ends). Now if you average 30 blooms per event (and from what i can tell most people are getting around half that per event) the most blooms you can get is 2160. I don’t think people get how bad the event is tuned for rewards, it needs to be multiplied significantly, now i am not saying make it easy, but it should be possible to do an event and sleep and still get the full reward.

Now i get that not being able to get everything may be intentional, but if this event is for new players then it missed its mark, as its to spread out across the maps, fighting enemies that are vastly over powered for characters in the level range the events take place in. If its for vets, well i listed the above why its not worth anyone’s time.
to fix the event to make event jumping less lucrative i would suggest having the mobs at the event drop the occasional bloom (or have the champs drop champ bags that contain blooms among other goodies) alternatively if the event ran through hots release with a loot drop buff of some sort (like having them drop anything at all). these are my thoughts yes they are jumbled welcome to my brain.

The good thing about this event though is a random wandering noob can get smacked down from the mordred’s cheap mechanics (they really are suited for group play with their CC, high HP, healing, homing bugs, and charges) before a vet zerg saves his kitten . Sometimes uppity noobs need a good smackdown. If a vet speaks you listen son. If a vet says don’t complete an event so that mobs can keep spawning you listen.

How to identify a noob: they will have starter and common dyes usually and lack an expensive skin on their weapon. If noobs want to earn their place as our equals they should have electro blue dye and a legendary or at least Mystic Forge weapon. With electro blue they either bought it or earned it as their third year gift so either way it’s a sign of a not noob.

Remember you also was a noob once and possibly did the same mistakes as any other noob usually does. :P Never forget your beginning :P

Yeah when everyone else was a noob too. I played during the base game’s beta when we were all waiting for Asura to be released.

I foolishly assumed that after a successful (assumed successful because I gained two chests: daily and one with reward tokens) event last night that I might be able to tough through this. Now I sit after one event today berating myself for my optimism. I have now attended 8 or 9 events and have 40 tokens to show for it.

I’m done. I gave it a chance and now…it’s not worth the time and effort for what I might be rewarded with in the end…after a few days…when this all gets sorted out.

TL;DR
8 or 9 Events Attended = 40 tokens
Not worth my time

The awards on this still seem to be bugged for a number of people.
Apart from one reward of 20 blooms for an invasion event I’m only getting 5 blooms. After a few hours (and including the 5 I managed to get yesterday) I’m now up to a grand total of 60 blooms earned so far.
I don’t think I can keep doing this event if you can’t sort it out. This is seriously bad publicity for HoT.

Yeah issues still remain regarding participation or something else

Its a Friday and it should be fixed before the weekend,

Ive taken screenshots of where I have many buffs/ranks but no reward not exactly sure how much ÿou"owe me for the events I have done but I hope the logs are better and more accurate than the empty promises thus far

Game decided to hang right at the end of the event with 2min. to go till finish. BUT, I didn’t end-task it or try to mess with it in any way till I was sure the event was over. Once I restarted I did receive my chest with blooms.

However, this is another way in which the event is busted – having to wait till the end to receive any reward.

Got 10 stacks during last 10 mins and got no reward … and the stacks stayed there even after the end of event

Thats discouraging…..i have new players in my guid complaining to me about not getting anything at all in these events. They are new to the game, and upset. Thats how we are going to keep our new player base??
And the events are still bugged! I just left event in K Hills….more complains, no loot, no blooms. I had such high hopes for this and gaining new players….sad.

Aaaand, they acknowledged it was a big fail: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Mordrem-Invasion-Update-11-September-12-30-PM

i only get 5 blooms no matter the buff stack is… 1 or 20. i get 5. this been happening all today ( 9/11/2015)

This happened to me 3 times today and twice to my wife, with no explanation other than the error code telling us to wait 5 mins and try again. After the first d/c we opened our firewalls as the error code told us to do but it has happened again and again. I have lost over 25 stacks due to d/cs and about 15 after trying to complete the event after we reconnected that were never awarded…

Fixes: 1. Beef up your servers so people aren’t kicked or D/c’d
2. Stop making reward counters as “buffs” because they are removed when something like this happens due to YOUR servers. I mean really? why punish players like this? This goes for every kind of instance in the game too as far as I can tell. Why wont you let us reconnect and rejoin the instance again?

I mean What can someone like me do to make up this time when issues like this are happening? It is a limited time event and I planned a day to play with my wife, and the other days i’ll be flying a plane filled with passengers. I am horribly upset that i received less than half of the rewards I should have received for my time playing this event due to disconnections and the lack of xp/rewards from individual monsters.

Just makes me not want to get excited about your future events… which is amazingly sad considering how cool the season 1 events were…
Get it together, this was a pure fumble.

i got 29 stacks dcd got back in the game was able to get 13 stcks and got no rewards

Why are players not tracked? Some players stay per event for a couple of mins then go. Leaving some invasions taking a long time to complete, leaving players less time to get max stacks.

The players getting the highest stacks are the most selfish players, when it should be the opposite.

I just had that same bug with no reward and buff stacks remaining after the event. I didn’t realize it was still broken.

Here’s how to fix the problem of people losing rewards due to D/Cs and stop players just fighting a little in each event for a few minutes, then go to another, just to gain as many stacks as possible:

Get rid of the defender stacks.

Base the rewards on what medal they get (Bronze, Silver or Gold) when each event is completed and have the rewards be awarded then, and not at the very end of the 30 minutes.
Get knocked off the game? Not a problem as long as you get back on the game to finish the event.
Want to try and get as many blooms as you can? Just do as much as you can in each event. Doing a little to get to another event will mean you’ll lose out on bigger rewards.

See? Easy.

This may even help fix this annoying ‘No reward’ bug that still hasn’t been fixed. I finally get my wife to try the game again as she liked the idea of working for the Halo, only to have no chance of getting any, let alone enough Blooms, to get it. Bravo on that one.

I’m shorted twice, once yesterday in hills with 20 stacks for 15 blossoms.
Today I got only 10 stacks due to a dc, got nothing. do I submit a ticket?

will there be blooms refunded when you dc during the event and lose your stacks?

The parts of this that I’m finding difficult is;

- Not knowing when I’ve tagged a mob in an event
- Not knowing when I’ve tagged an event
- After successfully tagging events not knowing if I’m even going to be rewarded

And here’s the kicker

- Having 5k ping. Yes, that’s right 5 THOUSAND PING

Sincerely hoping that the potato servers will be upgraded to better handle things come HoT.

I had 8 stacks there and then like most with this invasion alot of DC/CTD has happeened when i logged back in 30 seconds later all my buffs gone ?

do i submit a ticket or hope I will get the chest when the event is over in 5 mins ?

Edit 11:00 nothing no chests /or daily chest….

Kessex right now: DC after 4 or 5 stacks, got back to 16 but no rewards (neither 10 blossoms nor the daily wobbly)

But my stacks stayed with me for some reasom (not that they have a use)

Hi!

Mordred event at the end of this month I received a dc.

Buffon was a 10 Stacked! thank it spoiled my day

dc- today
diessa plateu

Well, since the first day of launch with this event I have come to the conclusion that this event simply isn’t worth the effort anymore. I had hoped that things would be worked out and a better experience would be provided.

The rewards seem to be functioning as intended which is, not very good. There is a daily bonus on each map of 20 blooms. In order to get more than 5 stacks one must essentially abandon events to move on and tag other events to hopefully accumulate more than 20 stacks. Gods forbid you disconnect as you will certainly loose all of your accumulate stacks.

I think now that a much more lucrative design would have been to promote the event and offer players the ability to once a day receive a set a mount of 50 blooms per zone. The accumulated stack buff should have nothing to do with rewards. It should be a boost to damage to the Mordremoth if anything allowing players to more effectively overcome the encounters.

This would merit players 150 total blooms for three hours play time invested and in three days of the event have the ability to make the most sought after purchases. I have put forth enough effort to have accumulated 150 blooms in it’s current state and I now draw the opinion that the event chains become extremely boring, frustrating and not worth the time investment.

Sorry Arena Net. I appreciate you implementing something random and new but I don’t think it was a very well thought out design. You have forced players to act more selfishly rather than work as an effective team and promote an obsessive approach to accumulating a new game currency.

I took part in the Kessex invasion and gained several stacks, but my mac beta client crashed. I logged back into the same map as I was in a party, but lost all the invasion stacks I had gained despite never leaving the map.

had the same,I’v lost all my stucks and i have nothing now.TY for nothing

I cant understand why Arena Net get my money and I have all the time problem with GW2,its insane. Small DC a had almoste 10 stuck and when I’v returned i Got 7 stuck and after all event nothing! NOTHING! 9 month after last event we have event all bugged! Im worry abauth HOT cus I’v bought it and now i think it will be collapse!!!!

DC’ed and lost all my stacks just now. So I logged back in and farmed 10 stacks before the event ended. After the event ended I got no reward and my stacks stayed on my character.

Thanks.6859:

me ither recoded whole event no reward Not worth trying agin with 3 fps and 400 ping on a $3000 computer

If you were actually getting 3 fps, that’s on your end, not Anet’s fault. I’m playing on a 2011 Macbook Pro and my fps didn’t drop below 20.

lol as if 20 fps is ever an aimed goal to achieve?

Hello, I’m sorry Anet I know this this is a tough time right now. But I too have done this event about 5 times and 3 of them I haven’t gotten rewards. I have 12 stacks the first time, 14 the other and 20 for the most recent.
I need my rewards because I work on weekends, please mail me ingame.

so, im running into graphics problems that are making the events unplayable for me. heres a few screenshots.

i’m not really mad as i can force my way through the issues, but its just a mess to try and focus on events when my screen is flashing the effects of aegis, retaliation, and i have an engies flamethrower in my face.

Hello Anet. I’m sure there alot of us complaining about issues and not getting rewards. I have not been getting any rewards or Modrem Bossoms either and really wanted to attend all instances save them and get that Selfless Potion. I went ahead and did the math; and if you fixed it soon, and I attended ever last event, I would still fall grossly short of ever getting that Selfless potion. I can only hope now that you will fix the problem and extend the event for the same number of days that it was bugged. Really fix the problem and extend the event so everyone get another chance to enjoy something that was never ready to be released in the first place.

As you can see in the screenshot, the event had completed 5 minutes ago and I am still sitting with my stacks of “Diessa Invasion Defender” and no bloom chest. It’s ridiculous that this is STILL an issue. Event is released – immediately bugged rewards – patch fixes the bugged rewards (so we think) – rewards not actually fixed and I’m losing the time remaining for getting these LS1 skins. I sure hope that these rewards will also be retroactively passed out to me in addition to the ones from Friday.

I think it’s because my client crashed (which has happened about 5 times since this new “bug fix patch” and hasn’t before that in months) and i joined back in before farming my stacks again.

And no I’m not talking about the daily chest not showing, I got 0 blooms for this event.

I rly hope i will get my 200++ blossoms that this bugged ……………… thingy ruined for me i get random dc when i am at 9 stacks and almsot 10 stacks … for god sake this is so frustrating

and ofc after DC i get nothing whatsoever… argh

Experienced a game crash near the end of the event in Diessa, and now I have nothing to show for the last 30 minutes of my life. Wonderful.

You have yourself to show. Nice meeting you. I am glad you are happy.

The exact same thing happened to me. I had about 3 stacks about 5 minutes in and the game bug splat and when i reconnected I lost my stacks. I was annoyed but there was still time so continued with the event, missed out on max rewards by one stack, oh well. But then I didn’t get my blooms at the end and retained the buff.

I contacted support and they said that once the problem is fixed I will get all the rewards from the event, so lets hope that is the case for everyone with this issue.

How to identify a noob: they will have starter and common dyes usually and lack an expensive skin on their weapon. If noobs want to earn their place as our equals they should have electro blue dye and a legendary or at least Mystic Forge weapon. With electro blue they either bought it or earned it as their third year gift so either way it’s a sign of a not noob.

I’m a noob and I don’t want your electro blue dye. And I’m happy with my ascended weapons. They say there aren’t any mounts in this game, so where did you get that high horse?

A word of advice for those who get disconnected.

Switch characters and re-enter the map. You will get the reward then.

The no reward bug is still there. Finished Brisban Wildlands with 20 stacks and got no blooms for the map or daily :/

It has happened to me at least twice during these events – get disconnected right near the end of the event. All stacks are gone, not even enough time to get back to 5 for the minimum reward. Half hour wasted.

So at 1:52 am on a Sunday night, trying to get in any more small rewards as I could before the event’s end, just to lose everything at the end again – It was the straw that broke the camel’s back, so to speak. I was hoping to hang in there a little longer, but I can’t do this event anymore.

Sorry for the rant. I know it’s just one gripe after the other for this event, and I’m as tired of it as everyone else is by now. I really don’t find this indicative of Anet’s usual events at all, and for a game that’s had free content up till this point I’ve otherwise been very happy!

I was wondering, though – Does this happen a lot, or was I just unlucky? Mapchat makes it seem like a lot of folks have experienced this, but I know sometimes the most vocal are still a small portion, so I am interested to know if there’s anyone who shares my pain :p

Another thing I’ve actually wondered, are there currently any other events that have this issue? I ~think~ I remember still getting rewards when I DC’d from Tequatl and still returned to the same map, but that was a long time ago, so I don’t remember if it was full or partial rewards.

Well, this is a disappointment.. Event is only here for a few days.. During a weekend I’m not home.. I get home, want to rush the events, at least get a few done.. I reach 10 stacks, disconnect, rush to get 10 stacks again.. Event done, NO REWARD! But I still have the 10 stacks, yaay.. Arenanet, will I still be getting my rewards??
(Provided screenshot to show the 10 stacks)

Same here except been disconnecting frequently for the past week. Sucks big time.

Well, did diessa 2 times today. The first one I had 21 stacks and got disconnected 2min before ending. The second time I was able to collect 8 stacks when I got a dc again, This time I couldn´t log in back until like 3min before full hour and got into a map with 25min left!? Then got another dc and was on a normal map. Event already finished. Thats definitly not good for my health ^^
Btw its not my internet, everyone else was perfectly fine at home.

Aaaaaannnnnd it happened again!
Exactly the same sequence of events, bug splat and reconnect meant I was left with 27 stacks after the event was over and no blooms chest.
Just posting this here for visibility so hopefully Anet gives me my 25 blooms I’m owed!

I know I disconnected from at LEAST two events. That’s on top of the 3+ events (I think) I was in on the very first day. I know the first rewards will be fixed, but what about the disconnects??

I can’t prove anything, though… it has me thoroughly discouraged. It’s the first new event in forever, I was really looking forward to it. But mostly all it’s done is frustrate me all weekend.

I think I’m going to take a break from the game. Maybe come back when HoT releases, see what’s up.

Event is over, still waiting for my rewards. I only got the bonus chests through the whole event and was hoping to get the missing rewards before it ended. Now it is over and I am still waiting and the NPC merchant for the blooms is gone. Totally disappointed.

i got 30 blossom back….. 1h ago…. and now is vendor gonne…..

Just received 90 Blooms for the first 3 maps I didn’t get credit for.

However, I did not get any Mordrem chest with them ( 1 chest per map per day).

Should I be expecting them?

BTW, got my Selfless Potion. Thank you for the rewards! Great event, though I preferred the span of time of the Festival better (15min event, 15min break, all day). Gives time for those who can do them, as well as short cooldown per event.
