Guild Wars 2

I had to out of town when the event happened with no internet ability and came back Thursday evening, did it Thursday/Friday and Saturday, but unfortunately needed that Sunday to make it count. It wasn’t a problem showing up when I was home since the requirement to be there is a small time period, but ideally if it’s still September we should have gotten the chance. That’s the point I think everyones trying to make.

Participate in 4 teq events = 15mins/per day (1hr/4days) (4 points) (1 Short)

But it’s not September. The moment that Monthlies popped, it was no longer September.

8/9 here as well.
I was counting on this last day because my game has been broken for several months now, and I was unaware of this content when I started playing. I worked hard for that achievement and those wings, and if it hadn’t been for stupid daily achievements, I would have them.
Why would you have an event force players to play for multiple days if they wanted to get it in one sitting?
And to all you haters who think that we should just shut up, please just go mind your own business. If you don’t like us complaining, don’t read our complaints. We are just voicing opinions about our disappointments. It will probably lead to nothing, we know that, but it is actually beneficial to Anet to see what makes people upset, so they can change their game accordingly.

I don’t expect to get every achieve, every item, or participate in every event. But when I plan my schedule in a way so that I can possibly complete them based on past expectations like…oh idk…. not resetting a LS in the middle of the night before the next patch even goes live I think I have a right to be a little peeved about it. Anyways, I’m glad you people have no obligations to take up your time, but some of us live in the real world.

And the achievement in question had nothing to do with monthly achievements, it was a daily …and dailies don’t reset until the following day .

Strang.8170:

But is it pretty inconsistant with how other achievements have been up untill the patch? No.

FTFY. Some other living story dailies (The queen’s festival ones, for example) also weren’t accessible on the last day.

You are aware Teq is broken, right? Even if it had been a Daily, you still couldn’t get it. And what about that Daily post-patch? With the content gone, it would have been broken which would have lead to a reset of Dailies right after patch. That didn’t go over too well last time it happened with Monthlies being reset due to Scarlet – can you imagine people logging in to finish their October 1st Daily and finding it reset because of a September event being on it? There’d be a million posts of “I had my October 1st Daily at 3/5 and you reset it because of Boss Week???”

Seriously, you had two weeks. It’s a purely cosmetic reward. September was over as of reset last night, I’m sorry you can’t get your wings.

The only back items I like showing are my baby Quaggan and the toy bag. The rest are in inventory. Too much burning, flapping, tenticle-waving shiny whooshiness. The flower is also pretty nice but I am saving it for an alt. Also, my outfit has to match the flower, anyway.

I wish at least some of the back items and skins could have their colors changed.

You all have 2 weeks to get the achievement done for every Living Story. You can get 6 of them done in one sitting without trying. This leaves the last 4. Those were to participate (not win) a dragon event. That is 4 days out of 14. If you all really wanted this, get it done asap. If you have other excuses like work, internet, etc….you can’t blame Anet. If you did not have the time, you did not have the time. Everyone knows how long they have with the living story achievements. I would never wait that long for a reward I wanted, and if real world got in the way, I would not place the blame on Anet.

The ONLY excuse you all can use is that Tequatl did not show up at all last night due to a glitch, but it looks like the monthlies had already reset by then.

Have..you honestly not been reading these threads? People are angry because if they didn’t have time or the ability to get the last daily until last night, they were absolutely cheated of it, because ANet’s devs chose to not give one more daily DESPITE it still being September across much of their playerbase. Not everyone has a schedule that allows them to play the game often and more than a few people on here had to wait until last night for that final daily to pop.

Not providing one last daily before new patch content THE FOLLOWING DAY cheats your players and is just plain sloppy.

It’s not even so much that we missed it either, but it was a ninja roll over in the middle of the night for an unexplained reason. It was a huge lack of communication as to when these achievements would officially end, because, as you see here, many people might have to bring it down to the wire to get them done and need to know exactly when this stuff ends. Need more communication.

And have you read the replies?

-Teq is broken and has been since reset, other dragons have also been glitched. Even if you had the Daily you would be unable to complete it.

-When the new patch popped, any Daily for Boss Week would become unable to be completed, likely resulting in a complete reset of Dailies post-patch… meaning a large group would be cheated out of their Daily reward and that went over so, so very well when Monthlies were reset last month.

-The patch doesn’t go live at server reset – it goes live around 12pm server time which means it’ll pop before new Dailies. So technically, yesterday at sever reset was October 1st for the game.

This is simple logic, not anyone kittening you out of your wings.

Seriously, you had two weeks. It’s a purely cosmetic reward. September was over as of reset last night, I’m sorry you can’t get your wings.

Also, the october 1st daily wouldn’t come down until after resets today, that’s how dailies work…. so no one would have missed their dailies for october… leaving in one achievement until resets today wouldn’t have negatively affected anyone in any form.

What I’m trying to tell you are logical reasons why having “Here There Be Dragons” as a Daily wouldn’t have worked.

The patch goes live around 12pm today. The server resets at 5pm. After the patch, there is no more Boss Week content. Between 12pm and 5pm, you would have a glitched Daily due to no more Boss Week content.

Tequatl and other dragons have been glitched since 5pm yesterday. You would have a glitched Daily no matter what.

Are you suggesting Anet should have given you the Daily then reset Dailies after the patch or had a Daily that couldn’t be completed remain on the list for five hours? Because that is what you are literally saying. You are literally saying that the game should be broken so you can get a cosmetic item.

Of course I read the threads, which is why I answered the way I did. If you all really wanted this daily, get it out of the way asap….simple as that. There are some I push for right away and others, I care less about that I procrastinate on.

If real world got in the way and you could only make it the last 3 days, you missed out…Im sorry, that is just how life goes sometimes….Like you said, not everyone has a schedule that allows them to play the game as often as they want, but that does not make it Anet’s fault. To say you were cheated out of it is a little harsh. It’s not like they did anything intentially to take the achievement away from you.

Once the server reset, it was counting it as the next day because the monthly achievements also reset. The server was calling it 01Oct13 so technically it was Tuesday (somewhere). If however, it was not consider 01Oct13, you all would have a very strong case since Tequatl was glitched after the reset and did not spawn at all. Who know,s maybe Anet will be extremely gracious about it, but personally after hearing harsh words like “cheated” and “sloppy”, I would leave it as is and move on….ie, that is not how one pleads their case.

I thought it was because the monthly resets on the last day of the month, and not at the first day of the month, which is probably why the boss week daily can no longer be done? but then again the daily hasn reset yet…hmmm…this is interesting because I’ve never thought about how monthly resets can possibly affect LW stuff

I just wanted to say I hit 8/9 as well. I am disappointed but it isn’t the end of the world or anything.

ANY boss finished the boss week dailies. It didn’t have to be a dragon, or Teq. To complete the Boss Week achieves you never even have to SEE teq. Just collect the items, and fight 1 boss every day. That could be the Fire Elemental, or the Golem, or the Maw Shaman. Need I continue? Now if you don’t mind, how about you go somewhere were you DO know what your talking about and harass those nice people instead. Obviously you didn’t get screwed, so why do you care anyway?

Except that you are wrong.
There were 2 different dailies, one where you could fight any world boss and one specific to tequatl. So basically you could get 7/9 without ever doing stuff related to tequatl.

I think I’m going to wear my wings to annoy everyone who waited for the very last minute to get achieve and found out they had waited too long to do something that took only a moment to do.

You didn’t even have to defeat Teq, just turn up. Easiest achieve ever!

Also, if you didn’t turn up for at least 4 fights against Teq, you don’t deserve Teq wings.

This.

Also – several of the world bosses were also glitched yesterday, least on my server.

zaxziakohl, the only one harassing people here is you. Calm down.

Aerlen.5326:

zaxziakohl, the only one harassing people here is you. Calm down.

I’d take a good hard look in the mirror at yourself Aerlen, you’ve replied 5 times in one page for a topic that doesn’t even really have any affect on you. I’d lean towards you are harassing people, because I consider what you are doing trolling for peoples reactions.

That being said, me replying your reply to me above seems a little unnecessary at this point.

As for anyone else that commented negatively towards peoples upsetness, how does this affect you exactly? I don’t honestly care that I missed out, because the wings ARE ugly and I only intended on putting them on an alt.

However, it was still ANNOYING, and the lack of communication or clear time period since there wasn’t a definitive timer on the achievement nor was there one on their Tequatl Rising Event Page, I personally couldn’t find one on the wiki when I looked before either although I know that can be changed. As for a different person stating that the time period is something people should inherently know that living stories are 2 weeks in time period. I’m sorry that’s not something EVERYONE KNOWS.

As for showing up to Tecq in the 3 days I had to play I showed up 9 times, killed him twice had any of those counted even as halfsies I’d have gotten them too and yes I showed up for the broken one and waited 3 hours last night too before realizing it was for nothing since the daily was gone. My only complaint is to me September 30th, a Sunday, a weekend day, should have counted. Clearly I’m not the only one who had that thinking.

Anyhow good day to you all, and I’m sorry to everyone else who missed out on yours too.

Trying to talk logic to people, explain why it isn’t going to work exactly as they want and talk them down =/= trolling for reactions.

The problem is, this was clearly a technical issue and a lot of us were very aware that we better get our Boss Week achieves done before reset. I don’t have all the achieves from a lot of past events either but it’s my own fault for not getting them done, it’s not on Anet’s head to break the game for me.

Thanks at least for curing me from feeling sorry for you guys. Cheers.

zaxziakohl.5243:

Your very first statement goes to show you have no clue what your talking about.

ANY boss finished the boss week dailies. It didn’t have to be a dragon, or Teq.

Untrue. It alternated between all world bosses and Teq only (those were two different dailies). Since the last one was all world bosses, the next one would have been Teq only (and thus would have been unachievable due to the Teq spawn bug).

Hello,

As this thread has derailed with disrespectful and inflammatory comments, it is now closed.

Thank you for your understanding.
