Seasonal titles

in PvP

Posted by: Nephanis.2015

You’re not the only one who was surprised with the removal of the title. I double checked to make sure all the year of the ascension achievements would be obtainable after this season, and then focused on Wintersday. Wintersday had the same grindy repeatable achievements from years prior, so I put my time into the festivities instead of the pvp leagues. While I love snowball mayhem, 150 games of it is just too much in a few weeks especially with so much other content out, that’s easily at least 50 games of ranked pvp I forewent.

I actually didn’t even know the title existed until someone pointed it out to me middle of last season during wintersday. They also told me it was season tied. After that, I tried to find something to back his claim and I couldn’t find anything written anywhere. Even in game it’s not communicated clearly. From reading the achievement description and seeing it placed in the permanent pvp achievement section, you can easily assume it was going to be available to obtain in any pvp season. I don’t think that’s an erroneous judgement. It specifically states a single season, not “first” or “premier”, etc. Some might say the title being “Primordial” implied it was first season only, but I feel you could also argue it could mean getting legend in the first year of ascension. I don’t watch the twitch streams often enough, so I didn’t know it was communicated that each season would have a season tied title. I believe the description should have been more clear and that it should also have been communicated in other mediums.

I only did pvp after wintersday was over, so I only pvp’d for 2 weeks. I know if I pvp’d as much as I did from the start I most definitely would have reached Legend (I was able to solo queue from fresh ruby to diamond in one weekend, which hopefully means I was at least carrying my weight well in my matches). The thing that bugs me though is that the achievement is completely glitched for me, It’s supposed to give an ap for each division you cross, my achievement was stuck at 0/6, I believe it should be at 5/6 at least, because from what I gathered, being in Amber gave people 1/6. Because of that it doesn’t even show up my retired Achievments section.

Anet plz ;_;

Issue Reports: Heart of Thorns [Merged]

I’m getting bugs with adventure rewards. I completed Sanctum Scramble and got gold on it, however, wasn’t awarded any bonus chests (either the daily or lifetime chests). I switched characters and was doing some inventory management in Heart of the Mists. My bonus chests came on my other character. However, I didn’t receive all the bonus chests. i didn’t get my lifetime chests for Bronze and Silver. Also, after leaving heart of the mists, instead of putting me back in Verdant Brink, where I last was. It sent me to LA. Attaching screenshot showing that I received gold reward without receiving silver.

Recipe: Chaos of Lyssa drop rate

Can anyone confirm getting a drop anytime recently? A guildie of mine got it to drop from his very first gauntlet chance (super lucky, I know). When he got it, he said it was bugged trying to list it on the tp. I also believe one other person in the map I was in got it and linked it in map chat. However, ever since he was able to list it, which was 2 hotfixes later, I believe, I haven’t seen a single reported case of it dropping. I have my suspicions that it’s bugged, but if someone can confirm a drop since the latest hotfix, then I guess it’s working as intended and just an extremely rare drop.

Inconsistency in Wintersday JP achi

Yeah, I noticed this too, so I decided to do a full 20. You get 5 AP when you do the 20 (6/15 AP total). Then the achievement resets again, and you get 1 point for the first run again (7/15 AP total) and then goes back to showing you get 5 for finishing 20. From this pattern, completing 20 should put me at 12/15, and then 13/15 for doing the first of a set. Finally ending with 18/15 from finishing 60 runs. I’ll check and see if it actually truncates it to 15/15, which it should (I’ll finish it by tonight and edit my post in a few hrs).

Please Revert Arcane Wave

There’s nothing to “fix”, your entire gripe can be avoided by simply clicking the skill while you have fastcast on, it’ll function exactly the same way it did before the “devastating eff-up”.

Fast cast wouldn’t fix the issue everyone is having. It’s not the fact that it was instant before, it was the fact that it was instant at your feet. Blasting mid dodge, burning speed, right after lightning flash were a lot of ways people used wave. Instant cast at cursor position can still mess up a lot of people’s combos. The new healing skill doesn’t compensate for this, either.

The change is new and, for me at least, will take getting used to. It’s just another skill I have to worry about positioning now. I’m still missing blasting my own statics, since I’m used to putting them near my feet. :/ Habits die hard, I still remember dodging into my fields constantly for a week after the evasive arcana nerfs a long while back.

I can’t throw the other 3 minis into the forge to make the mini dolyak calf. I attached a screenshot to show I have the minis in my inventory, but they aren’t showing up in the forge menu.

Tequatl Dragon Chests nerfed?

in Dynamic Events

Posted by: Nephanis.2015

Nephanis.2015

So after downing tequatl today, I noticed the blue, green, and rare dragon chests didn’t give their flat gold they used to give. I recall them giving 10s, 20s, and 50s respectively, before. I know the new exotic chest that was introduced in the latest patch gives 1g, but I’m pretty sure the other 3 still gave their flat coin amounts after the new exotic one was introduced.

So, I’m just posting to see if these were ninja nerfed and if others noticed this too, or if I was just seeing things incorrectly after patch.

Hunter's Insignia still creates Pillaging

Saw a buy order for a piece of hunter gear that seemed to good to be true, so I decided to craft the item and sell it. However, I found that it was impossible for me to make any hunter’s gear. I assume it’s because I discovered the pillaging variant before the patch that removed mf. I’m posting because I don’t know if this bug is acknowledged. I don’t know this for sure, but I don’t think a fix for this would be difficult because all traveler gear changed accordingly to assassin’s gear after patch.

Attached is a screenshot showing hunter insignias still make statless account bound pillaging gear.

TA F/U Dungeon Recipe

Ok, so there is no unique recipe tied to F/U? If that’s the case, that’s good. I have a minor goal to learn every known recipe on one my characters.

TA F/U Dungeon Recipe

in Twilight Assault

Nephanis.2015

Every dungeon path in the game has a unique recipe drop. Although, I personally never saw the recipe drop, I believe TA F/U dropped a recipe for the back piece, Arbor’s Embrace. With the removal of this path will this recipe be completely unattainable after tomorrow’s patch?

Achievement Leaderboards

Nephanis.2015

I check my position on the Achievement Leaderboards often, and my achievement points on the Leaderboards doesn’t match my in-game points anymore. The amount of points shown on the leaderboards is less than half of what I actually have.

Edit: The error seemed to correct itself.

No rewards from Tixx in LA

in Wintersday

Posted by: Nephanis.2015

Nephanis.2015

I’m one of the many who talked to Tixx in Heart of the Mists and now can’t get the PvE rewards in LA. I had no idea the content of the gifts were different for PvP and PvE; I don’t recall seeing any warnings. I’m more of a PvE player, so this is a little disappointing. Hopefully this is only a bug. If it’s intended, a little more clarification in the future would be appreciated.
