Many of us finished bosses between 10-11 minutes left on timer. It is not the cause for people who had already Six Minutes to Knightfall done 9y ago. Personally havent found *anyone* who got new achi this year and had already old one checked.

Same bug here. Killed all three knights in less than 6 mins several times in different configurations, still no achievement.

According to FB: "New achievements which will allow you to earn the War Machine weapon skins will become active today at 6pm PT (UTC-7), along with a 100% bonus to WvW experience active for the duration of the event."

Whatever you do, make this CM worthwhile. If you level it up to much and rewards will stay the same (X's Magnificent Coffer containing 1Li and 2g, which is just 1g more than in NM) it will probably become barely or even unpuggable while statics would have no interest in doing it more than once (no reason besides achievements/title).

Yea, these are not exact circles but have same shapes as Echo of Scarlet Briar's Tormenting Wave telegraphs, just smaller.

Scan your harddrive for bad sectors. It might be the reason.

Well, patch notes haven't mentioned about fixing anything besides rewards and achievements. So it is working as intended. 🙄🤔

This may happen because of killing wrong boss. There are two kind of events there: 1. Speaker Eunjoo walks to shrine and summons a creature thus starting event "Defeat the summoned creature before it can escape" - killing it counts for an achievement. 2. Starts also in the camp. There is a dialog between Tetra Earthcall and Veteran Speaker Kian Li which preceeds event "Defend the Speakers outpost" immidiately followed by "Defeat the Void champion". The boss might be exact the same as in first summoning event but killing it doesn't count.

Still doesn't work.

Yes, that's why I think it's all about 6th statuette. Some players can't find Lyssa, some Grenth. There is always the same problem - last statuette.

Not sure if how this achievement works as intended. There are 6 statuettes to find in different kind of chests. Getting 5 of them seemed to be kind of easy or not really a grind (apart from there is no description where to find them) but the sixth one... On my main account I miss Ancient Statuette of Balthazar which, according to wiki, can be found in Jade Tech Chests or Glorious Canthan Chests all around the Cantha. After opening hundreds of JTC (using Treasure Hunter Protocol 3) on different characters and daily clearing Fox Chests I am still out of luck. I understand that there might be like 1% chance getting one but still in comparison to first 5 statuettes it seem to be bugged somehow or probability is abysmal low. This achievement grants Mastery Point so maybe it shouldn't be such a grind fest. I read some reddit threads and discussions on this forum and it seems I am not the only one. There are people who already opened thousands of chests and still no effect. Is there some exponential decrease in chance after each statuette finding bringing it nearly zero at sixth? GW2efficiency shows that roughly 0,5% of players got this achievement till now. Isn't it a little too few for MP rng achi? Can some dev could look into rng tables or maybe something is blocking the progress like with fishing in 'Wreckage Site'? Please consider advices to write a ticket or submit ingame bug noted and unneccesary in this thread. Thank you.

I got it by installing Treasure Hunter Protocol 3 which is in fact "Module: Service Chip".

5/6. Missing Balthazar. Opened hundreds of jade tech chests without success. Also opened all hidden chests possible to get from "foxes" collections on each map. Either drop rate of the last one is abyssmal low or there is really something wrong with this achievement. Provided that it gives mastery point, I don't think it should be as hard to obtain 🤔

However the problem is not you get 1 saltie in 50 tries. The real issue starts when you need to catch specific saltie. Being at 13/14, provided that chances for each saltie are equal, you have 2% * 7% = ~ 0,14% probability of getting the last fish. Seriously is this intended? 1 in 700 fishes? Repeated twice for normal and avid? [X] Doubt.

... or making it significantly more likely to catch fish you haven't already caught.

One of the solutions could be increasing chance of getting fish you haven't caught yet.

Also we don't know if stacks or generally FP above recommended (green) level matters at all in this particular dillema. All the salties are rare and exotic - this ofcourse might be somehow influenced by FP if we catch one, but not sure if chance of getting salties out of all possible fishes differs if you have FP 650 or 925. 🤔

My question is if map makes any difference. Since we don't know how it works there seem to be two possibilities: 1. Map matters since choosing a map with less fishes possible to get makes it more probable to get not-region drop such as salties, treasures, trash. Thus on maps such as Ember bay you are more likely to get salties. In conclusion : chance of getting saltie is lower if number of possible fish to catch (pool) where you are fishing is bigger. 2. Map doesn't matter since in the moment you catch the fish, there is already a global table with probability of finding something in node and in open water. For example: 95% regional fish, 2% worldclass, 2% salties, 1% trash, baits, boxes etc. So it really doesnt matter where you fish - there is always the same chance to get salties. Next step is ofcourse draw which one of them you get. Tables to open water and nodes differ. The more I play, the more probable seem to be the latter scenario. The thing Anet did in a patch seem to be just the update of the global table of probability getting salties in a node (0,5 to 3% for example) just to line up with open water drop. What are your thoughts?

Have you tried to relog, change character etc.? This is really disturbing news. Not only saltwater fishing works in unknown way but now this...after hours of mindless grinding 😞 I hope it will not end up repeating last avid again.

There is Awakened Merchant near portal to LA. Maybe it refers to him?

Yep still bugged. Let's see in next two weeks.

I bet some of my followers have even no idea they befriended me. It is just an effect of trying to join same instance as others in a squad/party while squad icons constantly moving up/down/left right 🙂 Same goes with unknown guild invites:)

Go queensdale and farm centaurs. They die and respawn quickly. I'd say drop rate is about 10% per kill.

Apart from not specified bait, FP or anything, it is also worth mentioning that saltwater fish can be caught literally anywhere, even in not related to salt water places, such as rivers or lakes.

Achievement registers starting point, not destination. You are not supposed to go every destination but start from every taxi station.
