Q:

I googled hard and I failed to find any official info on this.
Everyone (including me) always seemed to assume that we will have one year to complete the 4 “Year of the Ascension” achievements and that there will be 4 seasons to do so.
However, since this should end in December… will there really be only one more season from July to December? Will we get a 5th season to complete these achievements and craft our wings?
(Just asking because it would allow me to uninstall this unfun MMR hell, as crossing Amber 2 more times would be sufficient for me…)

4th Season is the LAST season to get the achievements. I’m pretty sure of that. You need 9 division crosses aprox, so you should start now if you want them (this is the hardest part).

Secondly Anet promised in the NEXT ‘pvp achievement themed year’, that there still will be A WAY (not current way most likely) to get the wings. What, or how, is unknown. Probably sacrafice ‘assets’ of the new years ‘themed reward’, for the old one.

Legendary weapons can be hidden now!
No excuse anymore for not giving ‘hide mounts’-option
No thanks to unidentified weapons.

I already have 7 division crosses. But still looking for a confirmation that 4th season really is the last season. Like I said – everybody always assumed it, but I could never find a single confirmation. And since season 3 ends in July and the last season should end in December (to make it a full year), the gap seems to be a bit too large. Unless season 4 lasts 3-4 months.

The first season started in beginning of december 2015, remember? Each season lasts 2 months, with 1 month of delay between seasons. So, most likely last season will last from 9th august to 4th october. If we assume the normal 1 month delay, that would make the start of the next season at 1st of November. Yeah, we lost a month somewhere – that’s because the real lenght is not 2 months and 1 month, but rather 8 weeks and 4 weeks. Which makes a league year only 48 weeks long.

They can’t really put another season there. It would be either of nonstandard length (quite unlikely), or add another 12 weeks, to a total of 60.
Personally, i think that, rather than having a 14-month long “year”, it’s more likely they’ll have a longer delay between season years. They’d need that time to make new rewards, for one thing, and, unlike the first option, it would not disrupt the 2017 seasons’ schedule.

Actions, not words.
Remember, remember, 15th of November
