Guild Wars 2

Would be nice to hear if this is a known issue, though it’s already likely too late to bother fixing it, since the event is nearly over. Yes?

I know if you start late, you don’t get rewards.

However, since the last patch most of the races I’ve run have given no rewards in the chest. I’ve not skipped any checkpoints, not started late, not “cheated” (even if I knew how), crossed the finish line and got the message telling me where I placed and activated the chest when given the option….and gotten nothing.

I’ve tried at different times of day, with different characters and gotten the same result.

I’ve also filed a bug report ingame.

Thank you for your time and I hope this gets fixed before the races are taken out of the game. ::sighs::

I’ve been having the same issue since the last patch. No matter where I place, nine times out of ten, I don’t get any rewards from the chest.

I’ve not skipped any checkpoints, I’ve not started late (well, I have, sometimes, but don’t expect a reward from those). And I’ve gotten the option to “activate” the chest at the end of the race.

I usually start out in the back of the pack, just because I don’t like using those PvP items to hit people.. ::shrugs:: But, I’ve quite often gotten the “Light Travel” option. However, even with that skill, I always wait until I hit the next checkpoint before activating it.

Each time I reach a checkpoint, the message on my screen says “5 Checkpoint”.. no matter which one I reach/cross. Perhaps that’s what’s bugged? I honestly don’t recall if it ever said anything different, as I never had a reason to watch it before.

Also, at the end of the race when the “standings” box pops up, it always says I passed 13 Checkpoints. So, unless there’s more the 13 and I’ve somehow started missing one despite running the same route each time, I don’t know what’s going on.

I did file a bug report about it. Hopefully, it’ll get fixed soon. Running the race is pointless without any reward for it.
