Yep just ran into this. 😞 Unfortunate bug.

I was on the platform for a bit. Got buffs and stuff while timer was going. Couldn't see Aurene anywhere. But got on Skyscale and went off platform at the last 3-5 seconds and was off the platform when the event ended. Still weird and probably needs to be fixed.

Ok. I managed to get it tonight. I actually left the platform right as the timer was going off and was on skyscale when the event ended and it completed properly and triggered? So yeah..

That is weird, but it was kind of along the lines of what I was thinking was happening. Guess I will have to try this sometime if it is not addressed soon. Thank you for sharing your solution.

Still some interesting scaling on the second event. Stopping the enemies from corrupting the jade shipment. They hit like trucks and a ton spawn at once. First one with the sleds is good now though.

I can't believe they added two new achievements to flawless these events and they still scale insanely. Also, kinda wonder if the Zu Heltzer relic event in Echovald suffers from bad scaling as well. The enemies are so tanky. Even with a lot of people I haven't seen that one succeed either. Eventually too many big enemies stopping you.

The Jade Lantern achievements give a box that gives you the map gift of the respective map as well as a Lamplighter badge. It is repeatable as well. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Chest_of_the_Jade_Explorer

Have had a full set since last week. After reset today she still won't take anything again. It originally bugged out on giving her the Aetherblade meta statue.

I made a post about this a couple days ago. But yeah, only thing I'm missing for that achieve and done it many times. So I assume its bugged. Glad I'm not alone at least. xD I did send an in-game bug report last night just in case.

Ran into this today. No goggles spawned on win map.

I will agree most of the collections are quite involved compared to most we have seen before. I really enjoyed them when I finally got to finish most of them though. Very nice little story bits. There is a couple easy achievements hidden behind the guise of harder stuff. At least I found the Echovald's Haunted Court, Altar, and Perch all easily soloable and the events you have to manually start yourself, so they are often ready. These are actually needed to be completed for another collection and I had no idea they were so easy till I got to that point. If you like fishing you could save up the Legendary fish needed for A Strange Diet too (fish list is on the wiki). Once its not bugged at least. Building a Better bot is also not too involved. Nothing too hard locked in it.

I got first DE win on March 6th. Finished collections on the 7th. First win was super close. Like mere seconds. Was condi dps this run. But condi felt much better than my previous attempt with power. Commanders were really good at discerning when to switch sides, using text calls, etc. Did another run last night (as heal/boon tempest) on the 10th and honestly not sure on the timer. Was less than a minute I think. Seemed like considerably less tail time then I'd seen in previous attempts. Used Discord to listen to Commander. But not everyone was in there.

Well, did another run today. The event definitely spawns after the crystal phase and lasts until you get up to the tower for the fight. Wiki even has it listed now. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Meet_Aurene_at_the_top_of_the_Harvest_Temple But still can't get credit for it. So I dunno.

I was wondering that. Cause everyone usually bails to the sides after the central escort is done. But I was wondering if I missed something afterwards. I'll have to try it again and wait and see. Only reason I questioned it is because its listed after the last crystal event. So was wondering if it was an order.

For some reason I can never get credit for the task "Meet Aurene at the top of Harvest Temple" even though I've done the meta multiple times and won some. Don't think I've ever seen an event pop up telling me to go the temple after the crystal part if there is supposed to be one. Maybe I am going up there too quickly after finishing the previous event? Looking it up on GW2 Efficiency seems at least some people have finished it so it has worked at some point or I'm doing something wrong.

Just ran into this today. Last item I need for the tapestry collection. Can only find one wreckage fishing spot and only get tangleweed and it despawns after one use. Have tried on a few new maps.

Mount stamina and the rescue protocol cooldown (I am an Ele after all 😛). But honestly all the salvage stuff doesn't seem worth a slot imo. Only other one that might be situationally useful is the siege turtle damage one.

Crafted another tier 3 and tried it also tried it on another character and nothing. I've gotten so many achievement points since when I first got it that I can't say if I lost the AP either.

I got this achievement quite a few days ago. Not sure when it reset. But I noticed it was today. I tried unequipping my Tier 10 core and re-equipping but it didn't unlock again. Edit: Nvm, brain broke I guess. There is achievement for Tier 3 core and one for Tier 3 module.

Honestly my experience my has been mostly positive. Love the maps and most of the metas (despite bugginess). Lots of interesting collection achievements to work on, Fishing,, etc. I enjoyed the story for what it was and thought it was an good ending for the dragons. I will agree with a lot of peoples observation of Kaineng is a bit "empty." If only for the fact its so vast and everything is spread out so much. Only really sour spot I have is the turtle really. Initially I thought it was the DE meta that was the bad part. But I honestly do enjoy the DE actual boss fight. But its not even that, its just the acquisition of the turtle is meh and seems to be pretty meh in comparison to all the other mounts we have. But I was expecting that honestly since I don't duo with friends or anything often to make use of said mount (though I do want the mastery for extra mount health).

Had a pretty good group going and my internet decided to crap on me in the Strike. Hopefully more people will be unlocking turtles soon to group up for the strike. It's not terrible, but it does feel a bit weird to do instanced content for a open world only item. To me it kinda feels like if they asked you to do a PvE dungeon or Fractal to unlock your Warclaw. 😛 But eh. There are usually some patient, chill people willing to teach strikes or bring newcomers. But I wouldn't be surprised a lot of them are stuck on the first barrier right now.

I honestly enjoy this fight and I like the mechanics. It is very long and drawn out with the pres and then the fight. The length + chance of failure is utterly devastating though. First time in a long time in this game that I feel like I actually wasted my time doing something. Even launch Dragon Stand wasn't that bad to me (even with the crashing). The saddest part for me is I know the mechanics and understand them and can do them appropriately. But you can never guarantee everyone else in there is going to. Heck, look at the first fist pound she does and the amount of downs from that alone (though its honestly easy to forget something like that initial attack because you have potential hour of pre events to get to that spot). Past couple attempts I've seen her just flying across the arena like 5 -6 times in a row too though. Edit: As of March 6th I did finally get a awesome PUG bringing their A game with some good commanders and we beat it (it was a close one)!

I quite like the new look on the big vine hairstyle now. The flower one doesn't look bad either. I think depending on the colors you are working with they can turn out quite nice now.

Looks like they might of added glow to the bun style hair. Or I'm going crazy after the recent patch. Edit; Ok definitely not crazy. xD They did indeed add glow. Thank you Anet. ❤️

I will say it does look like there is a lot of texture lost in some of the "skin color" hairstyles. If you use a lighter skin color it all gets quite washed out, you lose any definition, and can't really make it look good. Reminds me of using flesh-colored alien tendrils in their current form (which is kinda cool, but I think they need to keep their planty look). I think both male and female got some really good looking hairstyles. But they do leave some room for improvement imo. Personally changed my Sylvari hair after like 6 years to the new bun with the orchid pin. One of the few without a lot of problems. I did notice some of the dyes were barely different in how they showed up. The lack of any night glow isn't a big deal to me, but I think it could help it since it kind of disappears at night alongside the rest of your Sylvari lighting up. After all these years we got used to our hairstyles having glow. Definitely feel like there is bugs in some of the new hairs/faces across the board on almost all races. I do think as far as Sylvari go, could probably benefit from just adding alternates of the same styles, "Fixed" and the current version. Obvious clipping fixed across the board hopefully. Similar to how the older vine hairstyle has the version with and without flowers.
