You get everything.

Are you sure this is working right? I got the tier reward shakey things after my first match on this account tonight but I didn’t open them right away. I left the match to spend time opening them. I got the emerald ones, but never saw the amber reward icons pop.

I logged into my alt and opened the icons right away. I got all the emerald and amber rewards. I’m sorry that I didn’t keep track of before/after gold amounts.

There’s a problem here – you don’t get wins towards the wins achievement even if you’re rated in a higher league – so say I was diamond and made sapphire – this should give me the wins for emerald and amber league towards my achievement – but it doesn’t.

This is both sad and upsetting.

Wait you want the wins that would have earned you the pips to get to your division!? Wtf?! How entitled can you be? You can’t even calculate it because it can vary so much with wins, losses, and streaks. And besides, it’s not like there’s a cap on number of wins. Go out and earn them just like every other season.

Entitled? I’d have rather started out in amber and gotten my wins. I don’t like having things I would have gotten taken away.
And you can calculate it – the minimum amount – the amount of pips in amber + emerald = number of wins.

I’m not against earning them – I’m upset that I got bumped up without having a chance to earn them in the lower leagues – because as much as it might upset you to hear this I only PvP for the backpiece and will stop when it’s done.

Balance and match making are too poor to give this PvP any serious thought.

In theory it’s far easier to earn wins in Amber/Emerald than it is to earn them at a higher league level. I just played a lot and did my wins at higher leagues but the profession wins I was looking forward to doing them in Amber/Emerald since I’m not very good on those profs and don’t wanna mess up people’s games at higher levels.

Exactly this – Amber and Emerald are the reason I didn’t get my wins last season – because I didn’t want to 50/50 against diamonds knowing this season I would still have to do Amber and Emerald against less skilled players.

I was placed in Sapphire and the League Elite achievement says 1/4
That can’t be right, can it?

Nvm got confused – forgot about Ruby being IV so the counting seems to be fine.

Ok, so I’m not the only one that didn’t get the amber rewards. I got the amber->emerald reward, but didn’t get any of the amber tier wiggly chests/icons/things. I did get all of the emerald ones though (I think), since I started in sapphire.

I do need to check tonight to see if I got credit for both tier crossings though. I know I got at least one, since it finished the 3 meta, but I forgot to check in meta 4 to see if I got a tier crossing in it.

There is a hidden mechanic that after switching maps, the game auto-consumes bouncy chests down to 4 remaining. It’s a confusing oversight as the normal procedure is to finish a match and leave the map before opening all the boxes. The items and currencies are in your inventory and wallet.

I’m having a problem with the profession achievs too, since i did them in amber/emerald past season, cuz i’m not good in other classes besides my main, the Elementalist. Doing this in low raks help me to feel better matched in skill. Now that i started in Sapphire i’m having a bad time, feeling like i’m messing others games too when i’m using this classes only to complete the achievs. Maybe in the future we can attempt to have different MMR per class? I know this must be difficult, but i found a lot of people with this problem while i’m playing. I really got amazed by those who can play very well with a lot of classes!

I hope I am just confused, but I don’t think I received credit for the division crossing achievement—I just want to make sure it’s not a bug or if it’s just me misunderstanding something.

I started the season in part 3 of the big meta achievement (wrapping up some Mesmer wins), and some of my achievements were bleeding over into part 4 (like the daily), and one of those was the division crossing. At the end of season 3 it was at 1/4. I remember doing the math, thinking all I had to do was hit ruby and all would be well.

Now, because I started in part 3 of the achievement, does this mean that I wouldn’t receive the credit into part 4? I think I remember reading that some achievements were bleeding over that shouldn’t have—is this one of them?

Really, I am only asking because getting to legendary is probably going to be difficult
