I guess everyone had the problem that the event has not counted for the quest ...The big question is: WHY?!
 	
----
			
Chua not had problem for last 2 weeks now :/
Is trying to solo quest, or cheese through it by chance?	
----
			
I keep hearing people saying the tree is bugged and doesn't count for the quest, yet despite my character having crap DPS, I always get a bronze reward and the daily completed and sometimes I even join the brawl at the final wave. So I'd be curious to know what causes this.
 
The bird on the other hand...	
----
			
I didn't know there was an issue.
 
Granted I only did the event on the PTR and I was trying to get the exile devs killed so wasn't paying much attention.
 
Although I do remember getting a rock garden FABkit out of it ..... the same one i'd just spent 2 plat buying off the AH ..... one was not amused.

I get the medal and show up on the event window as having participated. It's just that the quest doesn't complete.
----
			I had issues for a bit but found my way around them. Killing primals is enough to get you in the event but it won't be enough to get you through the quest. You have to kill some of the mobs coming in... I don't know how many because we just kill packs till the event is either over or we have to go clean up primals.

My experience has been that they won't give you credit unless you defend one wave (no corrupt primals phase), and certainly on my server, the chances of turning up when there's enough players to do that is slim (most the time there's not anyone at all, or 1-2 ppl max since they made it so obnoxious to solo/refuse to complete for the daily).
 
Just feels pointless to even try for that daily on my server. Yay for pointless hotfixes - not sure how they expect players joining the game at a later stage to farm rep with these guys, seeing as they removed the only viable solo option.

The secrets to completing this and guarantee the drusera part completion hasn't changed since it was bugged really. I have two 50s(engineer and esper) I have done this or tried to complete the tree repeatedly on both and found 2 things have to happen for me to get credit. 
 kill atleast one mob in any phase	don't die
 
I've actually tested ways to fail and get credit. Those two steps have guaranteed me credit. Any combination of other factors were random. I had success where i killed something but wasn't there for an entire phase and didn't die and failed when i did the same thing, failed when i showed up late and didn't get a kill, failed when i died (at all with kills) but didn't get another kill.
 
The credit and completion seems to be to tied to making sure you get a kill then don't die between that point and the end. If you do die, you will need to get another kill and not die. This can be insanely difficult if you are trying solo or come in late in third phase because of the ridiculously overwhelming numbers of strain that come up.
 
Good luck and drusera's speed

			It's almost like it's a 20 man quest that you should group for instead of afking for 5 minutes and getting loot.

Except people don't want to group for that crap.  Only a few care enough to even get it done.

You have to kill something in each phase.
You can not just stand and wait to attack tree orbs anymore.
What ever side you play on, stick near everyone (use the chat add-on, you never know who is also using it). Decide on a side to always meet up at each phase, kill something(s), take care of orbs.
If you die, well try not to, but if you do hopefully you can get something killed again before the event is over.
 
The other day I had an issue were it was not giving me cred, the best work around to to just make sure you kill something each phase.	
----
			
You dont have to kill something each phase, just make sure you kill at least SOMETHING (the Anti-Primals dont count) so that you get some Contribution for the event.
 
I can usually solo-kill a few packs by kiting them around an offensive sproutling as a Healer while doing some damage and letting the Sproutling do the most of it :P Gets me enough Contribution to get credit at least.

I found a work around to buggy 30min drawn out Tree event.
 
 
Not doing it.
 
 
Works 100% for me since i found it.

Resell? Money back lol free kit...

If it loots as not soul bound.
 
So I have posted a few days ago in Bug reports about this event, I think the one thing that needs to change is the Death part. Today I did it with 2 Dominions (side I play) and 10 or more Exiles. Few had the chat add-on so we were able to coordinate. Sadly the other Dom guy died, in last phase, just a few seconds before the last strain orb was sliced up by me.
He was there from the start, but due to his death, he go nothing out of it.
This should change.

			I have had runs where I died 2 or 3 times, but still got credit because I killed a whole bunch of mobs.
