And I do not enjoy that, I enjoy map completion. I am not trying to take away your enjoyment of the game, I think adding the lanterns as an alternative to map completion was a great idea. I simply intensly dislike that this has now come at the expense of how I like to play. I have everything I need for two sets of legendary armour, I have close to a dozen legendary weapons, I have all the trinkets, I have a wvw set of armour. I have no problem working towards a goal, but this is a game for me, and I engage with what I enjoy. The last time I did not enjoy something was early HoT and I simply left - for 7 years. This time I am trying a different approach in the hope Anet will reconsider. I will not light lantern, all the other bits I have worked for can sit in my bank and rot.

Oh look, finishing the map in the Desolation rewards you with...a gift that is required for legendary crafting - thanks for making my point 🙂

Neither of which are required for legendary crafting, so your point is? If you can give me an example of a map that gives a map completion item required for legendary crafting where that item is not granted by map exploration first I will concede the rules have not changed. Other than Inner Nayos 🙂

So you are saying if I take a brand new character who has never set foot into Inner Nayos in there right now, and she does map completion of both old and new she will get the Gift of Nayos? She has never received a reward for doing the first half, so she should get the reward the second time, right? I can even start her in the new zone so she does not accidentally complete the first half. And that should be the Gift of Inner Nayos, just as she received the Gift of Amnytas for exploring all of Amnytas, and the Gift of Skywatch Archipelago for exploring all of Skywatch, and the Gift of Chak for exploring all of Tangled Depths, right? I did not expect to receive the Gift for having done half the map, I expected to receive the gift for completing the entire map, and that is not happening right now. And that is changing the rules.

Then surely it would not be worth delaying awarding the gift of map completion for completing the map? I am not trying to deny people who prefer lanterns their way of playing, please don't get me wrong, nor did I expect to have done the first part of the map and get full completion reward. I just want my map completion reward for what Anet obviously now deems a complete map, even if a few small bits are missing. And the item description only appeared today, it was an unknown item until now.

How is it not changing the rules? I have completed the Inner Nayos map, all of it, including what was released today. We can argue over whether or not there is more to come for the map to be truly complete, but given that the Gift of Inner Nayos is now available I would argue the map is done. I have explored every POI, every Vista, every waypoint, and in return I received...nothing. Well, 8k for doing the first half of the map. For every single other map I have ever completed I received the reward for map completion - until now. That is changing the rules.

Yeah, not ok with that, not even remotely. I avoid lanterns like the plague, I did not enjoy them as an alternative to map completion in EoD, did not enjoy them in SoTO. I think they are great as an alternative for people without enough characters or people who hate map completion but I enjoy map completion. Why take away the exploration option? What happened to catering to multiple game styles to achieve a goal? So disappointed.

Update, after logging in and out several times LFG seems to be back.

Have just patched my game and now I am not seeing any groups in LFG, not even under Central Tyria squads which is usually thick with jumping puzzles and RIBA. Also getting constant login server errors. Anyone else having similar issues or is it just me?

Just came on to check if it was just me. Downloaded patch, launched game just fine, logged off, now stuck on launcher screen downloading 0.

I had WvW selected for the first daily so was not aware of this.

I am still waiting for the promised reset of dailies for the last bugged mini dungeon. I spent 20 minutes running around Seitung, realised the mini dungeon was not handling the number of people trying to complete it and gave up. I am not holding my breath that this will be resolved in either a timely or any manner.

I am assuming this was pushed back? Because the game just updated and I did not receive new dailies?

Ended up getting lucky and finding a squad that had managed to trigger the dungeon, participated in killing the last two, found a small chest I could open and finished my daily. I should be glad I got it done when so many people will be left stranded but just feel frustrated and annoyed - two things I don’t need to feel when playing a game.

I don't know who thought it was a good idea to use a temperamental dungeon as a daily but it wasn't. Currently in a squad where people are trying to convince others to please leave the place so it resets and of course that is working as well as expected. I can count on a couple of hands the number of times I missed doing the daily, I am a little obsessive when it comes to stuff like that, and if this is the way it is going to be going forward, never knowing when you can't complete something because you have to do 4/4 even if one if comprehensively broken? Might be time for another 7 year break.
