How do I claim the community goal reward? The event text says I need to see a specific NPC but I can't find such thing around there? Will the rewards be given all at the end of the event again or do we need to do it manually? I don't want to miss anything. After donating to the Crystal Bloom, talk to Lokka, an asura NPC with an icon above her head that looks sort of like a reddish mastery point, in the Eye of the North courtyard. I just did this and got the rewards for T1 and T2 as bouncy chests.Thank you. I'll check back to it right now quicklyYou need to use your crystal bloom marks 5 of othem so buy 3 bloom boxes or 5 weapon recpies from the bloom npc and then you can claim themI already bought all the weapon recipes on day one and two after the release. Then I bought the axe skin and after that some boxes. Now I didn't buy anything as I got everything and I don't have luck with boxes but at least contributed to the event and still have 15+ of them left which I'll spend later for sure. I just need to decide on what I spend them next.Anyways, I checked with the NPC and got the T1 and 2 rewards. Geat glad it worked out, I just dumped the rest of my bloom marks for bloom boxes since Im quite sure we will get another ally next week when timer runs out.

Cynder.2509 Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 I actually save my currencies up at this point because I have terrible luck with loot boxes (and life in general as I'm completely worthless) and maybe they'll come in handy with the next release.

Why else would there be a timer for a "preperation goal"? Well its just that boring they had to time gate the whole thing lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iaknihs.8536 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Community event gone... story not continuing. Fascinating. Still stuck with a story marker I can't get rid of unless I wanna replay it all from scratch when it's done... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I don't think it will be January before something changes:In the weeks between releases, each chapter will continue to evolve with new content and ways to play.https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/the-icebrood-saga-champions/Maybe it will change every two weeks?

Fenella.2634 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 So we will be stuck with an unfinished chapter on the characters we played on for months? This is awful.I go back and forth through the story all the time and do story achievements for previous seasons, help out guildies etc. If I do that now on my main, it will reset all the progress on the current chapter?And not just for this one week, but for the entirety of "Champions"? Omg. Please no, Arenanet. That is an awful design choice, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very frustrating release policy. :angry: Anyway, I'll spend the time finally playing through the previous two episodes with all my characters now that we've got voice acting. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pareth.3847 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Was anyone actually brave enough to try and do another story with the character who has done all the kitten DRM stuff? I still need to do the episodes that now have voice acting but definitely do NOT want to lose progress, as I do not want to repeat that stuff again. Might be faster to catch up with my other character. She'll be 80 soon and probably get through the icebrood saga faster than Anet releases something to move the story forward and give us some sort of "checkpoint" to not lose progress.

If only ArenaNet wasn't so annoyingly secretive about this - makes no sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jong.5937 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 The video DOES say Ebon Vanguard are in Chapter One, so I reckon new faction next week, then Wintersday 2 weeks later. But it is a guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulferic.5318 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Sorry guys, according to the official Wiki: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Calm_in_the_Storm"Calm in the Storm is the fourth story step of Champions, Chapter 1: Truce, the fifth episode of The Icebrood Saga. It currently cannot be completed due to it seemingly functioning as an in-between for Chapter 1: Truce and Chapter 2: Power."And according to Chapter 2 page:"Chapter 2: Power is a Living World release to be launched on January 2021. It is the second chapter of episode 5 of The Icebrood Saga: Champions. The exact release date is still unknown."We'll have to be patient...

To clarify, there is a one-week gap between the conclusion of the Crystal Bloom event and the beginning of the next event. The next event, mobilizing the Ebon Vanguard, will begin on December 1. If you haven't received your rewards from the Crystal Bloom yet, be sure to collect them from their representative in Eye of the North before December 1. The Ebon Vanguard is the only other faction event for this release. There will be more faction updates with the next release, arriving after the Wintersdsay festival sometime in the new year. We will be communicating additional information on Faction Event timing in the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cynder.2509 Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 I really hate having that green star on my screen. I have like over 30 characters of which 10 of them completed everything including expansions and others living story stuff and I still wish that LSS2 could be turned off. Don't get me wrong, I love the story and lore but I don't want it to show on my UI all the the time like something unfinished since gw2 doesn't allow GUI mods like ESO.

Kaliwenda.3428 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Just double-checking here...so it's normal right now for me to be stuck at Calm in the Storm with no way to advance it? I wasn't able to do the Crystal Bloom community event, but I did participate in the Ebon Vanguard one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Community events are unrelated to the story Calm in the Storm- they are just something extra to encourage repeat participation. It should advance with Chapter 2 in January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
