I had the same problem and I tried several things. Working solution was: - Start Chapter 8 (Into the Opscure) - Talk to Frode - Go to Zoja (in her instance) - Amnytas: Talk to Rian & Kamilla -> do the T2 Rift (the rift did not count towards the achievement) but the icon "Achievement Eligibility: Securing the Bastions" is now visible (You need to use a T2 Motivation...). Now you can do three events at the bastions (then the achievement eligibility disappears) and don't forget the Bastion of the Natural. For me this was the missing one. But most likely you have to do this twice...

It is a "free" legendary item. It is a bit shiny for my taste... We will see how it looks. And if I don't like it - there is a easy workaround: Disable the visual effect.

Initial dx11 beta in game update notes: "The goals for the initial implementation of DirectX 11 are stability, visual, and performance parity with DirectX 9. Most players will likely see negligible performance improvements at this time." Meaning: "...integrate the open source rendering library bgfx into Guild Wars 2." When Anet is done they will have a great technical base to deliver for every platform (see: render backends; supported platforms). The next step would be Vulkan (this comes with MoltenVK - so we have a new Mac-client). And bgfx opens the path to consoles and mobile devices. Visual improvements will be done on the way. And maybe they remaster Guild Wars 1 with the new engine. That would be awesome.
