I'm 3 for 8 on them and it's entirely to them wiping and the timer running out. The timer is where people will fail for DRM.

@Skyeraid.3470 said:I'm worried about the things like Crystal Bloom Supporter. If you're like me and didn't get all the crystals done before they were locked away, suddenly 3 achievements are removed from the list and it becomes much harder to do. This wouldn't have been an issue if this was shown before they were removed... but locked away parts of the meta achievement because time moved on is the exact opposite of the philosophy of these living story chapters. Why make some achievements required after they are no longer accessible? I would love to be proven wrong because as of writing this I cannot find where to get more crystal bloom support tickets.

Here u go gona prove u wrong just bc u asked to be tactician Erlandson [Defense Seal Vendor] >Tab 2 Crystal Bloom > Crystal Bloom supply Box > 15 Tyrian Defense Seals your welcome achivement gotten and ik it works just did it on an alt acc just to check for you no more excuses not to get it done :) (included all the specifics so there would be 0 confusion)

Worst meta achivement. Its gonna be the first one I wont bother with, since lw season 2. I start playing after lw s1. Not gonna bang my head against those timer and Im not gonna farm expensive weapons set for the heck of it. If anet want hardcore gamer, fine by me, but hey if Im not the public they want anymore, I just gonna put my money elsewhere. EoD really gonna be the make or break for this game for what Im concern... Sad... Use to adore this game... oh well

@Tony.8659 said:Any news about the new recipes? Azure Dragon Slayer Weapon & Crimson Dragon Slayer. And why is Arenanet not clear on these if they are in fact for the next chapter. Can anyone confirm if we can buy these now or this week?

I think, those will come with new even NPCs in future small updates.

Ah ok thanks. I just wish Arenanet would confirm or better yet just put on a lock on that content until it is ready. I don't know what's up with them lately.

I think and really hope that we'll get more achievements added into this with the two other "chapters" to make up for the expensive collections and lfg LI requirement ones (mainly because I'm too anxious and paranoid for lfg in general. I know I could just ask around in my guild but they're unresponsive and hardly anyone is online anymore since years and that's why I'm still searching for a new guild for over 2 years now, sadly without luck). I prefer to solo these instances but I could only have 2 challenges at the same time activated because as a glass canon dps you'll either have to sacrifice the time one or the tough enemies one in order to either have enough time and do top tier dps within 5-7 minutes in total in all missions or have the tough enemies one activated with the time limit and get melted away in seconds and therefore fail the time limit. And don't make assumptions here about me or judge me!!! I have raid experience and know all shit in this game as I've been here since 2012, so stop being condescending!However I'd really like to have a chill and laid back group without pressure that doesn't set requirements for the challenge mode achievements so I can finally finish the meta achievement fast as I usually do. (I usually have everything done right one day or 2 to 3 days, depending on the amount and grindiness of some, oncea new episode or content update drops. For festivals I even have completed everything within 1 hour)

First time I won't be bothering with a chapter meta. After a quick check to find a way to get to 31 achievements, it would seem I need to spend many hours repeating DRM cms or spend hundreds of gold on weapons I don’t want and a few less hours on DRMs. Not going to happen. I wouldn't even do the awful DRMs 5 times without challenges if that got me enough achievements. They're just so terrible, an insufferable mix of boring, annoying and unrewarding, it's almost beyond belief.

I agree with the general sentiment of OP's post, but I disagree in some details.

Yes, the allies are mostly useless. With the CM for normal mobs I have seen them dead before the escort event even started, too. Even if not, they die one-hit at the first trash mob. For non-CM the Seraph Watchknights are quite strong and can hold positions on their own, especially in Gendarran Fields and Lake Doric. During escort events they push mobs out of my attacks, though, which is highly annoying.

I think it is a bug, that Kasmeer doesn't help. In Metrica I need to pull the boss a few steps into Braham and Taimi's range, but that is not a big problem. In Gendarran I just ignore the NPCs, run ahead and leave them with their mobs. And in the other instances the story NPCs at the very least tank some trash mobs for me.

The scaling for the first three instances has been fixed with the chapter two patch. Before I could activate the timer and the stronger boss and get my 2/3 gold chest solo. Harder trash mobs were near impossible to kill and dealt way to much damage. Post patch I can quickly kill them before they are a problem. For the four new instances I have a similar experience. Scaling would be OK. But I don't see how I should be able to do them within their time limit, though.

I think it is ok, that CMs are not available in public instances. If they could be activated I can imagine players disagreeing whether they should be enabled and/or use them for grieving. They still could in private groups, but that's what block lists are for. ;)

About the achievement list: Top Dragon Responder: Metrica, Gandarran Fields and Brisban: no longer impossible solo. I know, because I did. Without a fancy super special DRM build. The other four: I don't see how they are possible, but I have not given up yet. Shooting Star and Killer Waves were easy, I did them in my first CM try. For No More Sacrifices I needed to adapt to have more CC, but still easy on second try. (The EMP from Drizzlewood is a common tip, I just changed one skill and used other weapons.) I wouldn't call the weapon collections "impossible", but I agree that throwing hundreds if not thousands of gold at them is not an option.

According to your screenshots you play as engineer. I don't play one, so I cannot give you tips for that specifically. I play DRMs with my thief on an open world build with berserker's gear. The trait Invigorating Precision (crits heal me) is great for this type of content. I play the pre-events with Daredevil and staff. Staff 5 is great AoE damage against the many small destroyers. It also works well for the Metrica boss. For the Brisban boss I switch from Daredevil to Deadeye and use a rifle. The side where the destroyer comes from is higher, so when I stand, or rather: kneel, there the shock waves pass below me through the terrain. I can completely ignore them. Rifle 2 pierces and takes care of the adds and CC. The boss hardly ever runs to me, and even if it quickly jumps back to the bridge. For the rifts phase I switch to melee weapons and then back to rifle when the boss reappears. This fight is almost boring even with CM. Similar with Gendarran Fields. I stay out of range of the tornados, the damage from the fire balls is easily healed by the trait. In the phases when the boss disappears I use mounts to go on higher ground, starting with the tent next to the arena. You only need to kill the rifts, not the mobs around them. The mobs can't reach you up there, so they don't attack back.

I'm pretty sure there are other classes and other builds that can beat these CMs solo, with a similar or different strategy.

For the four new CMs I haven't found a solution, yet. I can kill all the trash mobs and bosses with my thief, even with CMs, but not (yet?) within the time limit. If I don't find a way, I won't get this meta achievement either. But it wouldn't be the first. For me IBS means mostly unreachable meta achievements anyway. :(
