Flying Circus Challenge
Hello,
I’ve been doing a few challenges to get mastery points and I noticed that some are just not right timer wise, For example the “Flying circus” one in Verdant Brink.
The timer for gold = 2:00
Now I finished it on 2:00 EXACTLY. And i still got silver, in fact i did it twice and i still didn’t get gold. Shouldn’t it be just in time as i got in exactly as the timer suggests?
Screenie in attachment as proof. I would like that extra mastery point as it’s already hard enough to get those points without having to be extremely good at these challenges (which are seriously too hard for a player that doesn’t want to spend hours perfecting routes & mechanics for one simple mastery point..
Computers don’t really recognize “2:00” as a valid time, even if that’s all they will display. Your “2:00” might have been “2.00000000000000001” and the game is expecting you to be under that time.
I’m sure ANet could change the rounding, change the description, and give the ‘push’ (near ties) the benefit of the win. That, however, would be a lot of effort that could be directed to some other project that would affect more people more often.
tl;dr I aim for 1 min 59 and assume that anything over isn’t fast enough, unless I’m really lucky.
