Boogiepop Void.6473 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Participation is not awarding for the new Joko portal event reliably. Some people doing it get credit, some don't. Also can block the letter and NPC from appearing if it is the first time doing the event and it does not credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiLLiAN.5629 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Same here, didn't get credit for Zone Defense when doing it Metrica Province and Queensdale. I did get it correctly for Caledon and Wayfarer Foothills, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted January 9, 2018 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted January 9, 2018 Hey all, I just heard from Joe, one of our designers, and he told me that there is *indeed* a problem with the Joko portal event, as mentioned above. Upon closer examination, what's happening is the champion mobs currently do not count towards event participation. Clearly, that's a bug, and the team already is developing a fix. It's likely that a correction for this will go out tomorrow or as soon thereafter as possible. We'll include a mention in the update notes so you'll see when it's corrected. Thanks for pointing this out to us. We got your back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KronosBaelfire.6289 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I didn't get any rewards in the Caledon event. Also, I haven't gotten any letter and I haven't seen this NPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWMO.4785 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 > @"Gaile Gray.6029" Do i have to complete the events/achievements with the character i first participated with? I was coincidently in one of the maps where the event took place with a char i was mapping with. However i would like to do this on my main character. but didnt get any progression towards it, Tried multiple times. Also is it possible to "redo" it if i remove the letter and retry with a different character? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it has become an even more visual mess (per my wife, I haven't run it since pre patch). Are the developers purposely trying to blind the players? About what?, 1-2 months ago you posted that developers may be up to something. And then nothing further. Do you by chance have any updates on that you can share, please?

I just had my first 'no credit' scenario, and I 'easily' put a lot of damage into every champion boss during the scenario when it was up, but didn't get credit.

I really don't wanna have to do all of this on my character with less than 10% map completion. I don't know whether it being character bound was intended, if it was it was a really poor choice.

lchristineh.3214 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I did two of these events and got credit...then came a large patch. After the patch I have tried 3 events in three different zones over three hours and no credit for any of them. I was even in a Squad the last time, where some got credit and some did not. I am hitting the mobs and the champions, but not receiving credit. This is the second time today I believe this has happened. Please fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should get the basic completion rewards each time though but no letter or change to the achievement (unless do it in an area you not yet completed). There does also seem to be the bug that confuses things also. (where people not getting seen to have completed the event so not even the basic event rewards) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DivaCeryn.2673 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Just logged in and got a patch thought it might be fixed. Joined a squad in Caledon no one got credit still. Got credit for Metrica the first time we did it. Did Genddaran, Caledon 3 times 1 after the patch last night no credit. Portal Breaker is there but not showing what it is or what it's called.

DivaCeryn.2673 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Just did queensdale and got credit. Is it just some maps that are bugged maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poiuz.2061 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 according to dulfy.net: "Completing any of the events will grant you the Awakening Threat achievement. If you stay in that map until all the related events are completed, you will get the Portal Breaker achievement." I participated in 3-4 events in Gendarran Fields, killed veterans and champions, but I did not get any of those achievements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. Did events in Gendarran and Queensdale and no achieves have unlocked for me, yet a fellow guildie tagged one less event than I did and it unlocked for him.

Also, I haven't gotten any letter and I haven't seen this NPC. I did a defense event in Wayfarer Foothills and guess I didn't get credit because I've gotten no letter to even start this thing. I see no achievements related to this either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormseeker.5361 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Seems to be quite the mixed bag - got 5/6 zones done now, but last 3 didnt award despite getting kill XP on normal mobs and plenty of champion tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had my first 'no credit' scenario, and I 'easily' put a lot of damage into every champion boss during the scenario when it was up, but didn't get credit. From what I'm seeing, there indeed may be another element. I'm not working on this content, of course, but I do know that others are, and they are making adjustments to the planned bug fix that will address at least one additional element. It's nice they're continue to investigate. After the update goes live, I hope players will share their feedback on this, either "yep, all better" or "but wait, there's more." :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
