Champion Rush Community Goal bar...

So this bar updates every 10 minutes and is supposedly filled by players across all cities exchanging their marks for Bonus Boxes of Goods at the Consortium Officer. Right?Except, does anyone see the bar fill at all?

It did, for a while, but then it became a fu-bar.

Im surprised any1 is doing the event. I did it for an hour and found that the pay out is trash. Oh well i gave it a shot and its not for me.

I'm interested only in the celebration boosters you supposedly will get from the Community Goal tiers... but if the bar never moves, it makes no sense.

Some folks were talking about it in map chat in Divinity's Reach, and one player said that he'd seen the progress bar go BACKWARDS from about a third full to about half that, overnight. That made me wonder if it actually went UP from a third of first tier to a little into second tier, but the community achievement didn't activate due to a bug?

Theories I've heard are: players aren't turning in their champion marks; players ARE turning in their champion marks but the community progress is bugged; or too few players are participating.

I'm rather in favor of the last theory, since I myself have no interest in participating in this nonsense for a few mats that I could either farm up in far less time or buy for cheap.

No wonder, grinding champions is boring and the rewards certainly not worth the time. (Or those doing this type of "content" might save their marks to exchange them all at once?)

It seems like the bar isn't properly synchronizing and it's only showing the current instance's progress on the event. I've never seen it above 5%, and it being lower today with people being discouraged after the bar seemed to go backwards is compatible with this hypothesis.

That would not make the bar move backwards, though.

Dont forget that like last events people tend to hoard up these things before exchanging them. If most of them did not read you need to actually turn in these things to have progress, the bar will stay very low :P

Considering the bar was filling up yestrday and is empty today without a tier reward, it's pretty safe to say that kitten is bugged.

I missed that part. Didn't notice the bar regressing - strange.

Oh...

Well, I did the dailies today for the Bonus event and there were tags and a lot of of people doing them... so few people is not really a good hypothesis from what I saw.

I've always assumed the bars for these things are on a timer, designed to progress steadily during the event (maybe with faster progress during peak times) and possibly with the option for Anet to manually update it if they want - and that's why it doesn't show actual numbers.

But everyone except me seems certain that's not the case, and if it was I don't think we'd see weird behaviour like this from it, so I guess that's just me being cynical. But even if it is really tracking player activity I'm surprised there's problems with this one when we've had several of these events before and as far as I'm aware the only problem with the progress bar has been it moving too slowly to be noticeable.

When I logged out last night, it was significantly more filled than it was when I logged back in earlier today. So I am unsure if the tier was passed (as there is no tier information with the bar like there usually is) and we just didn't get the reward yet, or if it is bugged. I do know that I joined a 'champ train' group for about 30 mins today and the commander had a stack of over 200 marks, and said he was gathering a full stack (250) before turning in, and several others in the group posted theirs, which ranged from 30ish to 140ish. So people are hoarding them, but that still doesn't explain the regression on the bar.

Except the time, last or one before, when it stalled but gave the Tier 4 rewards, anyway.

The one I saw in LA today wasn't even at 5% I would say and the update didn't make me notice any change either.

""""""""""""""""""FAIL"""""""""" AGAIN

Much appreciated. Thanks.

It says already complete when I log in, is that accurate?

That's false.The event community goals indeed show "complete" now, but the rewards are nowhere to be seen. At least for me.I've done all dailies in the first 2 days and today. And yes, turned in all champion marks in LA at the vendor npc.0 rewards. 0 of the "community tier" achievements triggered.I suppose if this isn't a widespread enough EXTRA bug I can say goodbye to the rewards lol.

EDIT: Ok nevermind, just reread and noticed it says "once the event is over". I take it that means the rewards will be distributed at the end. If that's the case then all good. We'll see how it goes.

Nice, thank you for the update. Really appreciate these community events. I hope these bugs aren't going to sway Anet away from venturing out and trying new things again. You have a mass of loyal players hungry for more stuff that brings players together like these events. Please more! <3

There's one in Lion's Arch, next to the activity NPC under the big glass dome. I think there's others too but that's the first one I found so I've just been going there.
