Someone in my guild put up 36 GW nodes. How is that even possible?

I'm guessing there is a way to manipulate time zones or something. Can someone explain how this happened?

    Sure. Think of three days

    Day 0
    Day 1 - This is the day GW is the guild activity
    Day 2

    Now consider that their daily activity reset doesn't line up perfectly with the guild activity change. So let's say it's 4 hours difference.

    Day 0 - Start your GW, start first battle, retreat
    Day 1 - Complete Day 0 GW, Completed Day 1 GW
    Day 2 - Complete Day 2 GW before guild activity changes

    Easy. For a guild member whose gw starts 1930 on tuesday. Monday, reset your gw but don't do any nodes. Tuesday 1930 do mondays gw, reset, do tuesdays gw. Wednesday before 1930, do wednesdays gw.

    We limit ours to 24 as a guild though.

    It takes some people a while to compelte gw, and they don't want to be doing 3 within 24 hours. We limit to 24 nodes so we still get max rewards but people arent punished for not wanting to do 36 nodes at once. I'm with a group of pretty selfless guys so we don't just look out for ourselves, but do whats best for everyone.

    I had that happen, a bug? First time GW was the task for raids, our guild decided to stop at 24 to avoid extra work. I did exactly what the OP of this article did, but the first retreat put me on the board as having one kill. When we all finished 24, I still had one node to go. If I did that one and the reset, I would have had 37.

    @Algren What level are you guys?? Would love to play with a selfless group that actually uses the guild to work together.

    Makes sense.

    Our guild has like 25 people with 36 though so I guess it's the same rewards anyways lol

    I still didn't quite get the strategy for doing 37.

    Is it an exploit which "may" happen, or is it just a byproduct of some mechanic and can be done 100% of the time?

    Cna someone explain again for 12-year olds nah, 8-year olds nah, 5 year olds how to do it?

    Someone in my guild got 25 when he only did 24 battles. Think it's a bug. Don't see any way to do 37+

    I think it has to do with their timezone. Otherwise i don't get it either.

    I've tried to figure out how you could do 37 and AFAIK it's impossible w/o a bug or an exploit.

    Even if the guild reset is heavily offset from your personal reset, your personal reset is still 24 hours apart no matter what. There's no way to doube dip on the personal window which is what you would need for four GW boards.

    So I'm stumped. This was probably some sort of glitch.

    My guild tried to do that the first time. I stopped at our max. Then someone's son got on my his parent's game and played more GW. A lot of people who didn't have any more GWs to complete were upset.

    What if ... the player starts a GW just before the 19:30 task switch TO GW, like at 19:29, then after 19:30 retreats?

    Retreating doesn't add wins.
