Guild bounty hunt Mission

Hi all. So I know there are a lot of small guilds out there made up of people who are real life friends. I know I have one of those myself. But I have recently jumped ship to what I would call a mid sized guild. It has a little over 100 people in it and there are about 15 people on during the US prime time. This guild has over 800k influence. Fact is folks theres probably plenty of guilds out there in a situation similar to this and further the situation isnt as dire as that 30 page thread would have you believe.

I believe a problem we will actually see is that there will be so many people kicking off these cool new bounty missions at once to night that we may not know which bounty belongs to which guild. So my question is, does anyone know how we will tell a target bounty belongs to our guild and not some other guilds?

My understanding of the mission is that when you kick it off two npcs appear in some zone(s) and you have 15 minutes do go find what zone they are in and dispatch them. They look like normal champions and everyone in the zone is allowed to help kill them. I think its great that others are allowed to join in I just wonder how were going to figure out if they are the bounty we are hunting and not infact some other guilds bounty.

The bounty targets for each mission are randomly selected from the list of all the ones that are available. If two guilds happen to get the same one at the same time, they may kill that bounty cooperatively and both guilds will receive completion credit for doing so.

When the bounties are killed, they respawn instantly (somewhere else).

Sorry for the confusion guys. Here’s the way it works:

  • When your guild activates a bounty mission, it will be displayed in the new missions tab with a list of targets to kill in a 15 minute window (2 – 7 depending on tier).
  • The targets are NPCs who already spawned on the maps. There is a clue as to what map they’ll be on for each target. They can be ANYWHERE on the map. Some of them are easier to find than others.
  • Only guilds with the mission active can start a fight with a bounty. Everyone else will see them as a non-combatant.
  • When the bounty is killed, it is respawned somewhere else for immediate re-use.
  • If you participated in the event to take the bounty down, you will immediately receive your personal reward for guild bounties for that week and your guild will receive completion credit for that target.
  • Once your guild completes all the targets (within the time limit) merits will be awarded to the guild.
  • Merits are used to unlock new upgrades and other types of missions, so it pays to successfully complete your bounty hunts.

This makes it sound like any player participating will get 50 silver, the rare drops and a personal guild commendation, but only the guild that kicked the event off will receive a guild merit, correct?

No, you have have to be in the guild with a mission active. Sorry for the confusion, I wrote the whole thing from the perspective of someone who is trying to run a mission.

Does the person have to represent to get the reward, or just be a part of it?

Pretty sure you have to represent at the time the event completes at least.

Once a mission is “unlocked” is a one time trigger or can it be triggered multiple times later for “other” members?

The unlocks are for the mission “consumables”. You build much in the same way other consumables are built (like banners). These are relatively cheap; 100 influence for tier. You must use one each time you want to activate a mission.

So correct me if i am wrong please…

You have to have the target currently active as a mission to get the new fancy guild rewards. You’ll know if it’s active if the bounty’s name and picture is displayed in the new missions tab under “Guild Bounty”. If you’re not involved with the guild who activated the mission, or do not have the mission active in your own guild, you will receive normal event rewards (in the case of bounties). Other mission types such as puzzles and rushes have chests at the end for anyone who participated.

Then i hope you can answer a last question from me

If you can store the activation like consumables, how many can you store of them? 5 like the other consumables? 1 like some others? Or maybe even more?

5
