If you say “Boss Week” at least let it run the full week from patch-time last Tuesday until patch-time this Tuesday.

So many people are stuck in the 8/9 boat on the achievements needing that final daily category achievement from today.

My own example; 2 week holiday – just got back from holiday on Saturday and saw that I could just about finish the Boss Week category by doing all the scavenging and Rox talks and do the daily category achievement every day from Saturday until today. So I was at 8/9 last night; logged off and went to sleep expecting to complete the category this morning… logged in, boss week daily gone?!

It seems also a lot of people have been waiting on Tequatl who’s not spawning as regularly anymore…

A general timing issue / bug with the Boss Week patch, Anet?

Please extend this to last until the end of Tuesday 1st October as has been the case always before with your previous patches / LS content updates duration.

You say extend it as previously, but the exact same thing has happened with each patch that used dailies for the meta. They end at 00.00 UTC of patch day, as they should.

Resets happen at midnight (00.00) UTC. There was no daily for boss week today because in UTC time it is already the first, which is patch day. Since the game is played globally, that only makes sense.

As far as Teq not spawning, that is a different issue.

Then please explain why you can still complete other achievements from that category – such as clicking on dragon scales/shards/tooth in the 3 maps, etc.

I get the part with the UTC timing, but some stuff is regulated by the actual patch adding/removing stuff, whilst other stuff is on a different timer… that’s just incoherent and opens for situations like this.
Normally I’d have the wings after 5 days into the new update because you got to hurry with all this temporary content but this time I was away for 2 weeks and had to stress to make it; stranded at 8/9 while really it should’ve been possible to finish up until the patch hits today is beyond frustrating.

Hopefully Anet can help people get done…

Well, because dailies start over at reset. I imagine it would be somewhat difficult to make the dailies reset at an unknown time once a month. Probably a lot of programming to make them act oddly on just that one day. It seems this comes up every time on patch day, where there are dailies tied to the current achievement meta. You can always post in the Suggestions sub-forum about changing the way dailies are reset. =)

I doubt I’ll have much luck with that – as much luck as I’ll have with getting this achievement category done either… Lots of people have also been stuck for nearly a week with unclickable objects for the scavenger hunts, so I’m guessing I’m not alone being upset with the Boss Week category not being done.
