Yes…but no word from anet even though this has been brought up in several threads. We can only hope it gets fixed by Tues when the other 5 achievements unlock.
p.s. I haven’t gotten any tickets and have prob opened over 500 easily.
It’s a bug (as they need to be counted for the total possible achievements to = 14). I just hope they fix it by Tuesday (maybe it will be part of the Tues update), so I only need to do 1 more for the shattered wings.
Each copper that the taffy will cost you on the TP will equal 10g to buy the wings from the vendor. Right now you can get the random drop ones that people are selling for under 20g. SO…to equal or beat that, taffy would need to drop to 2c min. That said, even if it gets to 1c, you would still have to place 400 orders of 250. From what people have said about farming rates, you would have to spend nearly the entire month 24/7 doing the holo projectors in the world to get there manually. It IS rather silly on anet’s part to have it priced so high.
TBH, the only point I see for the taffy is to get the eating 250 achievement, and maybe buy some fireworks if you haven’t launched enough for that achievement, but those things drop a lot from coffers.
Yea…the ceremony kicks off part 2. At that point, the other chieves will open up, including your own chance to light effigies.
You have really bad luck then. On average, you should only be losing 6s per race. Also on average, it should take you somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 races to win 3, for a net loss of 90s.
BTW, you don’t NEED the achievement.
Do they drop directly from mobs, or in the coffers? I’m not sure how many coffers I have opened…a few hundred for sure, and I have gotten 3 minis.
Right now, I am loving the regular wings on my female human thief. Perhaps the shattered ones will be even better.
Like any other gambling system…the avg will will come out the same in the end. You just have to hope for a winning streak. Good luck on the 4-man system and I hope you get less 5th place finishes than not.
I can see the merits in this idea. You are trying to guarantee the 6s loss among 5 friends, instead of 1 person losing a lot and another winning a lot for the chieve. It makes sense if everyone sticks around for 3 wins for everyone (I would say each person bet on the same moa each time), and people KNOW they are going to be losing around a gold.
On a solo betting basis, some will end up ahead and some will end up behind, but the average over all betters will still be a 6s loss. The number of races needed to get the chieve will be exactly the same. So all this is doing is sharing the guaranteed loss.
it’s debatable which ones are easier to get. The regular wings are currently around 19-20g (with the price slowly dropping) on the TP. That is nothing compared to what some stuff sells for. The shattered ones take a lot of grinding of achievements, which some may rather not do. You need to do 10/14 Dragon Bash achievements to get those. Currently 9 can be done, though the 2 Dragon Ball ones aren’t registering. Of the other 7, 3 are pretty easy (talk to the captains on the west side of the piazza, eat 250 taffy, and watch the finale of the fireworks show (if you know when dawn is on yer server)). The other 4 are rather time consuming and lame, unless yer really lucky at betting on Moas.
Kaining was around 9:28 PDT (instead of 9:00).
Again..when is dawn?
The 2 Dragon Ball chieves are currently borked.
SO umm…when is dawn in-game? I know there i night and day, but I have never seen an actual clock or moon/sun thingy like some games have or anything.
My drop rate has certainly decreased. I was getting 2-3 from each set of 4 mobs before the patch. Now I’m lucky if I get 1.
On average, it will cost 28.41g to get a mini. So you would need to sell for 33.52 to break even. And dont forget standing around for the 57 races.
gonna count towards “Experience”?
It’s nice to see that anet is listening…this last patch increased holographic box monster HP (as well as making them invulnerable when they first spawn for a few seconds).
But how about DB chieves?
The house edge is 12%, which is kinda crappy compared to many real casino bets, but it is not ridiculous. It is comparable to making a hop bet in craps.
Meep..won first race with him. Then morti on race 2. I didnt get my 3rd win until about 10 later with motti. Btw, the return on a 50s bet is 44s on average..so it is not terrible.
The anti-stealth trap is for mesmer strips during zerging, not individual thieves. At a cost of all yer supply and 4 seconds of channeling, thieves are not going to be hit as hard as everyone thinks. The only use I can see for this against thieves would be maybe putting a couple in a camp to prevent a thief from soloing it. But eventually all that unused karma will run out and the traps will be used more selectively.
1) Most downed skills are crap anyway…they only prolong the inevitable.
2) HS barely ever does that much damage
3) Landing C&D in the first place is a chore
As others have said…a well played thief (few and far between) is only going to be effective on 1vs1 or if very well played 1vs2-4.
Think of the number of times you have been ganked by a super thief compared to the number of other encounters you’ve had in wvw. I’m guessing it’s a fraction of a %.
Are we using ACs wrong? During our down time, one of the other servers runs 40-50 man zergs to take our bl. We often have 3-4 ACs set up at the a gate. And they are nothing more than a nuisance to the enemy (they still plow through and take our fortification). Are we using them wrong or are they really not all that powerful as everyone is making them out to be?
7400 files…ofc, who knows how big some are.
I believe this is actually a help. It will prevent accidentally (or troll) placed siege from eating up the siege per area cap.
I think it means if NO supply is put into a freshly laid siege that it will go away in 2 mins…NOT that you have to put siege in at least every 2 mins until it’s built.
So for everyone that has been saving wxp ability points (most of us), is it time to dump them in AC…or are the enhancements not as cool as they sound on paper, I wonder?
This is clearly for the upper tiers that have coverage. The mid and lower tiers often have down times when the other server(s) can take stuff at will anyway.
I missed the first day and just got to 105 yesterday by completing the monthly. On March 26, you could get an extra daily since they added pvp laurels that day. You could also get 10 extra from the pvp monthly if you had already done the pve monthly before the update. So 4 monthlies for 40 + 67 (including today, the first day which you only had a few hours to do, and the extra pvp one) from dailies is the highest possible atm.
Edit: I never got the extra pvp daily as I didn’t read about this until the 27th.
SO, you can have 108:
Jan – 4 (no monthly)
Feb – 10 + 29 = 39
Mar – 20 + 32 = 52
Apr – 10 + 3 = 13
=108

Could you perhaps gray/red out the Portal Exeunt icon when the mesmer gets too far away from the Entre point?
So my map legend shows 18/19. But the map itself shows all 19 WPs filled in. Anyone else have this or know how to fix it?
