This was indeed what was going on here. Thanks!

Is there a way to get the daily recommended fractal scales via the API as well?

My brain’s still a bit fuzzy from the holidays, but I think that the Daily Fractal achievement category has the current day’s achievements.

Ha, you meant those 10.000 drinks, right?
Oh, wow, how did I not come up with that myself. Thanks! Is there a reason as to why these aren’t in the achievement/daily endpoint? I mean, they do change on a daily basis.

Hey,

I’ve just started creating an app (mostly for myself) to have a quick overview of the dailies and some basic information about my recent trading post history etc.

However, I’m getting extra results from the achievements/daily endpoint. I’m getting id 1938 (Daily Ascalon Vista Viewer) and 1951 (Daily Metrica Provice Event Completer) which both aren’t dailies as I’ve checked in game.

Is this related to the current wintersday event and their dailies?

Also, I saw a couple of tools / websites that knew the current recommended daily fractal scales (4 and 25 for today, december 30th). Which is something I really like to know when I’m on my way home so I can hit up some guildies to start making a party for them.

I also have problems with map completion. I have 100% on verdant brink and auric basin on my thief (which had 100% world completion prior to HoT), but did not get any rewards. I did, however, get the reward on my necromancer (which only had 17% world completion I think, only had the racial/capital cities) for verdant brink.

• Describe a typical hour for you in the Alpine Borderlands in the past. For example, What size of group were you running in? What kind of tasks did you run? What activities did you do?

Mostly running with the zerg killing the backline or finishing people low on health. The rest of the time I ran around alone or with 2/3 others to scout, flip camps and have some small group duels.

• Compare your experience described above with a typical hour spent in Eternal Battlegrounds, if you went there at all. Does your style of play change between the 2 maps?

Pretty much the same, except for less small group roaming and more assisting the zerg.

• Compare your experiences described above with an hour spent in the new borderlands.

Traveling. A lot of traveling. Flipping a camp alone was a little more tricky, especially if it’s upgraded. I think I pretty much ragequited after 30 minutes on the new borderlands, I think mostly due to the lack of people because of the travel time.

• Describe the nature of combat in the borderlands in the past. How have the new borderlands impacted this paradigm for you? What style or build changes might it cause? For example, knocking people off cliffs or into lava might play a more important role.

As a mostly solo / small group roamer thief player, I don’t have access to knock people off cliffs or into lava pits. My playstyle hasn’t really changed much in the 30 minutes I’ve played.

• In your experience, compare the time it takes take a structure or objective here, then it did in the past.

We took the enemy fire keep, used 2 omega golems and 1 alpha golem. It took us about 4 minutes to break a fortified gate (we had no resistance, though). Later on, at the garrison (or what used to be garrison), our group of 9 had a hard time against a couple of defenders. We killed them when they came through the portal, but the amount of default siege and the strength of the gate were fatal for our group.

• How is the loot and wxp for you compared to in the past? Will it be able to sustain whatever you are doing? Did it take a hit, or was it improved? If you are planning to unlock an elite specialization, do you think you were helped or hurt in these regards? Do you think you could pursue any other in-game goals just by playing WvW?

I don’t know if it was intentional or a bug, but I got 100 wxp for taking stonemist (without buff, it ran out). Apart from that, I think it could have a slight boost, but that could be just because I badly want to get all hero points in the jungle.

• How will the map change impact the long sessions (multiple hours) you spend in WvW?

Right now, I don’t really like the borderlands, so I’ll spend my WvW time in EB mostly.

• In 100 words or less, describe how the new BLs could be improved.

More waypoints or other ways to travel around. A way to quicker see where a keep (or any objective really) is being attacked from WHILE you’re inside. I heard someone spending 5 minutes to find out where the enemies were attacking from.

• In 100 words or less, describe how the borderlands work to a new WvW player.

Can’t comment on that, I’m not exactly new to wvw.

• In 100 words or less, describe how the borderlands work to a veteran WvW player that is new to the maps.

Skip the gym, defend the new borderland for an hour a day.

• Which map am I most likely to find you currently, if you’re on Gw2?

Since most of the people I play with in WvW and a few PUG commanders I like to follow are in the jungle, you’ll most likely find me in there. In the evening I can be found on EB, unless the zerg decides to move to a borderland.

Hey, that’s me in your 2nd picture, Roseberry!

I have also taken quite a few screenshots, I’ve uploaded like a third of them (I took most screenshots 2 or 3 times, so I could pick the best), which still resulted in 61 pictures. You can find the album right here; http://imgur.com/a/Pn0PU#0
I think I made some grammar errors in the titles, I haven’t had that much sleep last night due to an after party.

Congratulations to all the winners of the prizes by the way! Lightning fast replies and great looking outfits! And Asura.. be careful, the next reindeer rumble the humans will be victorious.

I want to thank the staff once again for this amazing event, as well as everyone that was attending! I had a great evening, starting an hour before the pre-event and ended at 2:30AM during the after party when I was really tired. I think this was better organized than the horrorween event, which was great as well.

Definitely count me in, I really enjoyed horrorween as well!
I’ll take number 83 in the raffle.

I’ll take number 213. My gut tells me it’s more likely to be picked than another number with 13, lucky halloween number, in it.
My character’s name is Illeesia.

Also, \o/ Aurora Glade!
