Guild Bounty Bugged?

For 2 weeks we tried to complete T1-3 guild bounties only to find we cant talk to any of the npcs to trigger them. We tried killing them in the order that they are on the list and randomly but nothing. Anyone else having this issue and does ANet have anything to say about it?

In order to trigger the fights you’ll need the “Mission Control” permission. This is can be given to any rank by visiting the the ranks tab of the guild panel.

We searched for 10 minutes and no one was able to find a SINGLE barrel.

I went to Blackgate just now and found him down by the spider caves.

Hiding targets have predetermined spawn locations. This means that there’s one specific barrel that Sotzz with spawn from every single time. The other barrels are effectively decoys, and they will not respawn until Sottz is found. This should make it easier for groups to divide and conquer, since you can tell if a part of the map hasn’t been searched when you find barrels there.

In the case where you’re running around the map not finding any barrels, that probably means that there’s only one or a few left, well off the beaten path.

In the next release, I plan to reduce the difficulty of this one.
