---------------------------------------
Anyone else having issues with T3? I bet you are. Here's a great guide to reference: http://dulfy.net/201...d-bounty-guide/

GH would like to do guild missions with other guilds. Since it doesn't matter who kills the bounty after the mission is activated, we'd like to coordinate with a few other guilds who would like to work together each week for that difficult 25 Merits prize.

The way I'd personally like to see something like this done is that we'd assign bounties beforehand to each guild to scout out. These would be the tougher targets to find which are as listed:

• Ander “Wildman” Westward (Southsun Cove)
  
• Bookworm Bwikki (Lornar’s Pass)
  
• Brekkabek (Harathi Hinterlands) - he's actually pretty easy to find
  
• Crusader Michiele (Sparkfly Fen)
  
• Deputy Brooke (Snowden Drifts)
  
• Devious Teesa (Frostgorge Sound)
  
• Diplomat Tarban (Brisban Wildlands)
  
• Half Baked Komali (Mount Maelstrom)
  
• Prisoner 1141 (Iron Marches) - very difficult... I'd recommend putting several people to the task of tracking and staying on this one since it likes to disappear after running around for a while
  
• Shaman Arderus (Fireheart Rise)
  
• Short-Fuse Felix (Diessa Plateau)
  
• Tricksy Trekksa (Blazeridge Steppes) - disguised as something else

I didn't list Poodaboo (Kessex Hills) or Trillia Midwell (Fields of Ruin) because they are actually pretty easy to find.

While the guild bounties are located, we could assign groups from each guild to kind of be "hit squads". They would be smaller groups generally (5-10 players). This is to prevent the bosses from scaling to ridiculous difficulties. I personally think the scaling on some of them is broken as hell, but again that's a personal opinion.

After each guild has a group that is willing to hit a specific target, we would all start our bounties at the same time, and send our groups to the targets. Each guild would assign 6 players to talk to the bounties to start the fights so that the other guilds are able to kill it for them.

Note: some targets require a few more players such as Bookworm Bwikki and that damned frog. Bookworm Bwikki, from my experience, requires a bunch of people to kill him. That frog can be countered by null fields and other boon stripping abilities. After that, he melts pretty quickly. The last bounty to consider is the Scalewag Skottz or whatever his name is. He's tough to find, but he's easy to kill. Just remember to use knock-backs when he places his defensive AoE, and he'll be no problem.

Anywho, that's just my take on how something like this may be organized. I'm open to discussion with any guilds that may be interested. If this is successful and we could expand it to a server-wide thing where everyone activates the T3 guild mission each week at the same time, I think that'd be awesome. However, all big ideas need to start small, so I'm asking for help from other guilds who would like to work together to this end.

Just let me know if your guild is interested. If you have any other suggestions as to how to go about doing something like this on a larger scale, please feel free to voice those ideas.

As for dates/times. I'm thinking Thursday night would probably be best since WvW matchups the next week have already been decided and many of the players who would otherwise be held up in WvW might be more willing to free themselves up for these missions.

[Heylo]

I will talk to Haven about this. We've been trying to decide the best way for us to do the larger bounties, since we usually only end up with about 15 people at a time.

[ChapDev]

Can Guests help? I need the money, practice and I want to show off my new look

[Rill Soji]

This is an excellent idea!

[Palerider]

Menorah,  did you remember to collect our service charge first from our valued customers?

[Menorah]

Yessir. It went directly towards our Quaggan Tonics fund.

[Turin.5243]

We completed our T3 bounty last night, but would like to do another one tonight after reset if anyone else is interested.

[Rill Soji]

TOSH is interested.

[inanna.9348]

POND could help out. We're a small, young, guild trying to help out lol.

[Turin.5243]

SWAT will be grouping up at 6pm server time to do the Guild Bounties. We can organize a method for smaller guilds to accomplish theirs as well as ours. We will be found on the Ehmry TS3 server in the SWAT channel. I will be hosting a Commander Squad with my primary character Turin Ironborn which will meet up in Divinity's Reach nearest the Commons WP. All are invited to join the Squad. Immediately following this group event we will be porting over to WvW with intent of sweeping a map. PLEASE run all your WvW chest events prior to this event so we do not distract people from the primary objective.

If you are the leader of a guild which would like to be involved in this please post the name of the character you will be participating with and make sure your Teamspeak name reflects that.

If you and your's have not completed the Guild Bounty upgrade for whatever reason but would still like to earn the personal reward please send me a letter in game with your guild name and an approximate number of members who may be interested in the option of having our guild as an alt tag you can rep while the bounty is underway. I wouldn't ask or expect any of your members to retain this tag following the completion of their personal reward.

[Menorah]

I'm glad this thread has taken off. It's good to see that you have plans already.

In the longer term, I had a different time in mind though. There are very few guilds doing their bounties right before they reset each week. I've been scouting targets at various times all week and have found 3:00PM server time on Saturday to be the safest time (at least in my opinion) to do so without having to worry about another guild killing your bounty. With that said, we could start having guilds meet up on Saturday to coordinate guild missions and scout out all the targets ahead of time. Simply activating the mission at 4:00PM server time will allow for Tier 3 credits once all the bounties are killed for anyone involved. If members of these guilds miss out, then they have all week to run "make up" missions with their own guilds.

I also think this would be a good time for possible future coordinated runs because even guilds who have nothing to do with our coordinated group can benefit if they activate their guild missions during this time frame. Being that it is right at the reset, I'm willing to bet there are going to be some guilds who will activate their missions right away just for the sake of being the quickest.

Anywho, this is just a thought and open to discussion. I know that EISN has completed their T3 missions in under 10 minutes and plans to run at that time as well. Being that they are a large guild and have also expressed interest in helping out - in addition to these other reasons - I can't think of a better time for guilds to simply cash out on this opportunity.

So, to reiterate on what I'd think would be a good way to go about doing these in future weeks:
1) Meet up at 3:00-3:30PM server time to start scouting out guild bounty targets
2) Everyone involved activates their guild missions at 4:00PM sharp
3) ?????
4) Profit

Ew i like this idead. so u basically need one guild member at each one for u to make sure u complete it

I wonder if we could organize 15 commanders (or 14 depending on Sotzz) who could post up on each of the 15 bosses and maintain the positions from 3:30 - 4:30 that way the guild members could easier port into the zones they need and find their boss promptly.

[Hawkeye]

Im certain CoS would be interested. Ill bring it up to Kaaos in the morning.

I generally don't worry about Sotzz. He's dead within a minute if you knock him out of his drunken stupor aoe shield. As for commanders... seeing the number of commander icons that just stand stupidly in front of the bank in LA, I don't think finding 15 blue icons will be such a difficult thing between multiple guilds.

[Catraine]

Menorah, I think we'll be interested in the 16th, as soon as I can figure out what time 3pm server time is.

[Rill Soji]

Server time is pacific time. So... 3pm PST/4pm MST/5 pm CST/6pm EST

[Turin.5243]

in game press Esc--> Options --> General Options --> User Interface --> In-Game clock --> Server time

[Catraine]

This is why Rill is Guild Leader

[Book]

We have been looking for an opportunity like this in TEW. We would happily participate. I can Vent/TS/Mumble if voice coordination is requitred. We can field 12-20 bodies usually. keep me in the loop for future dates.

[Menorah]

Great Also do we know if reset has been pushed back an hour because of daylight savings?
