Event quest: Taking Back the Town

So i just finished a game where i captured 5 watchtowers and i didnt get credit for even 1 capture and yes my team won the game. It was on the map Cursed Hollow.
And since it seems impossible for me to even open a ticket i have to take it here instead.
That quest is just super annoying for me now when i dont even get credit for what im doing.

Greetings Shroums,

thanks for reporting this as a bug, however unfortunately this is not the correct forum for it. You can find the official Bug Report forum here:

Please keep in mind that any reports there will most likely not receive an answer unless more info is required. However, your report will be looked at and investigated in case it is indeed a bug. Thanks for reporting! :+1:

Sadly Game Masters aren’t able to manually grant you the event progress, so please try to complete it again. Hopefully it’ll work this time though! :wink:

Something similar happened with the forts for me. I was at 3 stacks. We destroyed 4 in a match. Yet i only got dredit for 2. I assume i had to be there for it to count. The event is BS, and shows how clueless Blizzard is. Getting 6 forts in 1 match, is quite unlikely for 1 player. Especialy since there are 2 lane maps. When it comes to the watchtowers, not all maps have watch towers. Then you have to win 2 with some classes. So you end up having to do more than 20 matches, as you also have to play 3 with a friend. And with the mm and the 50/50 win rating, you will end up having to do more than 40 matches, unless you play vs ai. It took my 3 matches, just to get a map with a watchtower. And that was a map with only 1 watchtower, so i only got 1 count for it. And the event last about 15 days. So you are either forced to play atleast 1 match each day vs ai. Or about 2-3 qm each day. Not all of us have time for that. Some of us have other things to do. Yet again Blizzard has shown how clueless they are about this game, and how little they care about the players, and the quality of this game

are you sure it was a winning game?

Then i tried to do the watch tower by playing vs ai. I get Alterac Pass. I quit because i can’t progress on that map. And i keep getting the map. So after quitting 4 times, i pick a different event quest. What guess what, the 5th match was also Alterac Pass. When i starte a new match, the game switched which side i was on. So it was a new match. This game is such a huge joke. Designed be incompetent clueless people.
Being able to play this game for hours, and still not progress at all, on the event. Shows what a fail it is, and how poorly it is executed. I have talked with people, and they aren’t even going to bother trying to do it
I dare Blizzard to make a survey/pull on how much people are enjoying the event/how well they think it is executed. I bet they won’t. They are to arrogant to reconise, they might do something poorly

Can anyone confirm if you get credit for watch tower captures in custom games with AI team/opponents? I’ve been on this quest for days now and never getting queued up for Towers of Doom arena. I started AI match 6 times and kept getting the same Cursed Hollow arena map.

I don’t know if you can complete this quest with AI (logically it should count) but if you have difficulties for one reason or another completing a quest switch to HL/TL. If you win the game it will count the quest as completed (some quests do require 2 games to be done).
Anyway that’s in case someone didn’t know :slight_smile:

Good luck!

You don’t really need to get it in one match tho. Those quests are not always designed to be finished in one game.

I got exactly the same problem, turning the game off and back on didn’t help either. I guess if you play AI match with AI team mates the map for the next match is always predetermined and does not change until you successfully finish it :frowning:

The point was more the amount of matches that needed to be done in total. Which will exceed 20 matches. Then add in the random factor with the watchtower (and barely any maps are in rotation with them), and you have to win many of them

Yes, I get it, but just because it’s free stuff doesn’t mean it should be easy to get. The whole point of getting reward is making some effort to get it first. Sure, the amount of effort needed might be random, but only in the case of watchtower quest. Others can be done in less then hour or two in vs AI (especially the last MVP quest is super easy in vs AI). You can argue that you don’t want to play that mode, but well, you can’t always have everything you want. That’s how the world works, unfortunately. I fully agree they should add more maps with watchtower in rotation tho.

Actually, this whole quest, speaking about all 16 quests in general, is absolutely player unfriendly. It practically force players to play certain roles, which I though was something Blizzard didnt want for players to experience in this game, at least in QP. There are also tons of after game awards, I mean you need some award for playing tank and you get “temple master”. Watchtowers, that was absolute bulshit. There are around 16 maps, maybe 6 of them have watchtowers, thats approximately 1/3 chance to complete the quest. But, lets say winrate is around 50%, so its 1/6. Also… you may not be able to complete the whole quest at once, lest say it takes around 2 games… and I am beaing optimistic.
So, I am just completely exhausted, enraged, the game is no longer relaxing for me because of this idiotic questlines. At lest a bit more time would fit. Terrible quest, terrible…
