Ive been running in to this for months now, but didn't think anything of it.The guild still receives favor for doing the mission.The chest in the corner, above the map, does not appear once you are finished.The physical chest at the end of the race hasn't shown for me at any of the races I've done for about a year now, locked or otherwise.We typically run the race with 10-30 people.This is how it typically plays out for me.I play an Asuran Deadeye Thief.We all meet in the guild hall, explain the race to the new Guildies, split the squad in to 3, one group runs while the 2 others run defense for the first and second half of the race. Then my Co-leader, a Sylvari Firebrand, will start the mission and use the Guild Teleporter to have us all head to the map, where I activate the flag-poll. Then we run the mission like normal. Usually I get to the end, fireworks go off, the counter tic goes up by one, and that's it. No chest, no reward. I've tried doing the race up to 4 times and never received the reward, as have other members of my Guild. Its reached the point where we usually just skip the races, going after the rest of the missions instead.Whether or not the mission has been started by another guild doesnt seem to matter.We are also unable to end the mission early. Thank you for the info, this is similar to one of several problems we had with Guild Race in the past. Yeah, the ticket we received in 2015/2016 was to post on the forums and see if anyone else had the same issue.

We received chest rewards for Devour Burrows its one of the guild missions that sometimes work for us. However, as you will see in the video, the chests rewards only came when some people were crossing the finish line for the 2nd time. We did 3 runs:1) Subgroup 1 finished and no chest.2) Subgroup 2 finished and no chest.3) Some members of subgroup 1 & 2 finished. One member died, then both groups got chest rewards. Note: We did not complete the have 15 racers finish requirement.Chests rewards appeared after during the 3rd completion of the race.It feels like the rewards are on a fixed timer for this particular race.If the fixed rewards timer is true, then what would explain why sometimes we don't get the chest rewards because we finish the race too quickly when many guildies are online. However, this isn't true for all the races. Sometimes, guildies receive the chest rewards immediately when crossing the finish line with no delays. So in summary:Sometimes, we get the chests early before anyone crossing.Othertimes, we receive the rewards at a random time after crossing the finish line multiple times.Frequently, we do not receive any rewards for crossing. So we've been doing guild race less.Sometimes, the mission expires early before time runs out. Like, we have 40 seconds remaining and the guild mission would say it failed. I hope the video was helpful.

That's what we do. We have a running team and a escort team. The running team NORMALLY gets the chest, then they become escorts.The new runners don't get the chest. Sounds like what we should be doing is drastically reduce the escort team, to like one or two people who don't want the chest. Then many guildies will get the chest, while the 1-2 escorters miss out due to the chest bug. Thank you for stating what you all normally do :D Wait what? Why not just make everyone run? In my guild everyone runs.The race timer is 15 mins. It takes about 3 mins to complete the race. Which means 12 mins remaining. The rest of the players transform and do the missions. When Guild Race first came out (2013, 2014), many guilds would have an escort team and a runners team. When the runners team finished, they would then switch places with the escort team. So when you say:The issue might be that you have people who aren't getting counted as participating because the delay between the mission getting started and them actually participating in the race.I can say, that doesn't apply in this case because there are still 12 minutes left on the timer. Also, the previous escort team are able to rerun the entire race 2-3 times before time expires with no chest. Its important to note that this isn't 100% consistent. There are several times the escort team does get chest. There are sometimes the main runners don't get chests after going through all flags. Chest rewards for Guild Race, are very inconsistent for us and several other guilds. I'm glad, its working for your guild though. In my guild there will be people who transform, cross some checkpoints, then go back and start escorting people, they have never reported not getting their chests.So your first members only cross a few checkpoints, then they de-transform to escort, before reaching the finish line? If so, that means you all found your own work-around to the bug. The only times we have issues is when everyone doesn't get a chest, and this is normally solved by me completing the race after enough people have crossed the finish line and talking to the npc at the end, which completes the mission for the guild and gives everyone their credit.So you're saying, you have to talk to the NPC to end the race early for you to get rewards when no one receives a chest. So, that means if you let time expires naturally you wouldn't get the chests? If that's true, you're experiencing a version of the bug as well.

I'll try to record it, the next time we do the race. I'm realizing a video maybe useful to answer everyone's questions.

Correct, we wait the full time until the mission expires for the off chance members get rewards. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't...the reward system is inconsistent. Sometimes, the guild mission ends 30 to 40 seconds earlier for us than the time shows. Also have to make sure that the player is actually finishing the race properly by going through all the flags, and that they haven't received the rewards from a race that they might have done earlier in the week with maybe another guild. The players are going through all the flags, that was the first time they are doing the missions for that week, and they did not receive the rewards from any other guild doing guild race.I did notice something the other day, I was in a race that another guild had started and even though it was still going on the event popup marker indicated that the race was over and finished. Usually it just shows how many people had completed the race until the timer runs out or it is manually abandoned. I still got personal and guild rewards for finishing.Sounds like you experience one of the various situations or issues that can occur with guild race.

Thank you for the added information :D

Hi Gaile! Thank you for responding, no Anet employee responded to my old posts the other years. Its awesome, someone is now.! :D To answer your questions:1) Our guild favor is currently maxed. Is there a way to see individual players contributions to guild favor?2) No chest appeared, on the guild mission the window states, "you are eligible for rewards this week"3) No chest appeared4) "are the correct number participating?" Do you mean the recommended number of players that is specified by the guild mission?"are they fully transformed the whole time?" Yes, until they reach the finish line they transform back to normal. Wanted to add, since 2015 sometimes the guild race ends 30 seconds to 50 seconds earlier for us. For example, the clock says we we have 40 seconds left to finish the mission. Then the "event completed" or "event failed" message appears before time expires.This normally happens for us, so we came to expect the mission will end early. Thank you Gaile, other guilds were experience this on my post years ago. If you still have access to the old forums, the guilds should have commented there (from what I remember). The problems started after HoT release with guild changes. I've been reporting the issue since then but after years, we've been reporting it less and less. Some, just figured the guild race rewards were just buggy. So, we started to avoid doing the guild race missions. Thank you again for responding :D.

They've been submitting bug reports in 2015, 2016, and 2017. Whenever, I submitted a ticket on this issue Anet responded: post on the forums and make an in-game bug report. Going the ticket route didn't seem like the right way from the responses I received from them.

They were representing before the mission, during the mission, and when time ran out after the mission was complete. This was there first time doing Guild Race this week.

We were doing chicken run today, half of the guildies got the reward chest. The other half did the race a 2nd time, they did not receive the chest when crossing over the finish line. Rewards bugs for guild rush has been happening since 2015/2016 for us. The old forum had about 8 messages detailing the bugs we encountered with chest rewards on Guild Rush.

That is\was supposedly one of Jormag's champions

Thank you for posting this was able to share it :D

Awesome glad you found a solution :D

Try having that other person enter the mission when you're in the party. Beat the mission with your friend, then you'll be asked to progress. This is just a workaround though.

I just noticed you talked about the confirmation prompt idea already. Ignore post below. But a commander's subgroup got merged with another subgroup in Crystal Oasis, without their approval. If I learn more over time, I'll send a DM. Imo, I would do this:Squad 2 wants to merge with Squad 1 in LFG. Have Squad 1's Commander receive an approval message. If Squad 1 Commander agrees, allow the merger.If Squad 1 Commander disagrees, do not allow the merger.
