I've been complaining about this for over a week and no one I've spoken with has pointed out my blindness to this fact before. Thank you for that. So is this meta possible without even doing the open world battle for lions arch mission?

Everyone remember to submit bug reports and encourage anyone also experiencing the issue to do so. We're going on a week with no response, so might need more visibility to get taken seriously.

Yeah, that's what I'm worried about. Definitely feels like a shaft to Season 1 veterans that ANET isn't even acknowledging the problem, and assuming there is any fix, it'll come too late for any of us to actually complete it because the pop will have dropped off. I was super excited about new lore notes to comeback, re-do season 1, and see old LA. But currently there's no point to even try because this one achievement blocks ALL of the progress.

Well the simplest problem could be someone set it to anywhere within 9 minutes to be mean fail, rather than AFTER 9 minutes.

Was checking reddit. Same issue occurred during the original launch, cited as "problems with the issues awards were given" Unfortunately, not much said beyond it was fixed, but this is the patch if it helps anyone at ANET. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Game_updates/2014-03-11

Can confirm again issue is still ongoing. Bosses killed in less than 6 minutes, no achievement.

I've played since before launch, and this. They give us one of these speeches every few years after they royally mess something up, but never actually change their behavior for the better.

May I suggest not focusing so hard on raid-like content as well? Between raid-like open world difficulty, strikes, and a general lack of alternative content, its pushing people who don't like raids, such as myself, out of the game. Edit: For all the confused reactions, info came out that a lot of development, from balancing to strikes, is designed to train players for raids, so more people play raids, so they can design and make more raids. Rather than, you know, making a balanced game with a variety of content for a breadth of players.

As many have noticed, Nika's ghost doesn't look anything like her canonical appearance from GW1 and GW2's Mists version. She actually looks more like Vizu, the assassin from the Harvest Temple incident 200 years prior to GW: Factions. Is there any official word if this is a confusion between the two? Or is Anet retconning out Nika's mysterious heritage/father and canonically making her 100% Canthan?

Can confirm this. You can scan the hazmat suit Heart guy, NOT CLEAN 5000 in any of its states or forms. Also did it after the meta, so can't confirm if it works before the meta.

Yay!

Good questions, not available by default still, and not seeing a recipe yet in the merchants.

Patch is live: "Dragonjade refinement is now available to all relevant crafting disciplines with End of Dragons access."

That_shaman found the recipe through I assume data mining, but confirmed they don't know the source.

Problem is where does the recipe come from? Its not a discovery recipe - Jade can't be entered. Edit: Clarified as not a discovery recipe

Confirmed the bosses have a chance to drop a special extra item for buying the upgrades. You can see it when you check the research merchants. I don't think the drop is 100% though (or theres a hidden meter for overall contribution to the meta I missed) as of the two bosses I've completed, I only received it for one (the other I only did the boss fight, not the meta)

Only from people wanting to spend 100 gold rather than wait a few days. The price is insane. Yeah, metas have been successfully completed multiple times by reports and the zones I've entered late too. If it was a meta drop you'd think we'd see more on the market by now.

I checked around a successful Kaineg, didn't see any new merchants or sources. But I arrived after the meta, so can't say if something would have appears to those who completed it.

Just tried those, mystic forge won't accept them. So not a MF recipe.

Anet: "Buy this expansion to get a cool jade bot and upgrades" Also Anet: Makes it effectively impossible to get said upgrades, and after 3 days no one has figured out how to get the materials. I get disabling the API to hide spoilers, but its just frustrating at this point. They sold us on a feature that we can't actually access. And it does not seem to come from the usual ways of loot, salvage, crafting, or exploration. DE Map completion - Nope. Crafting using raw jade - Nope. Salvaging EOD items - Nope Looting hidden chests - Nope Metas - Apparently not? Almost all zones I encounter either fail, have failed, or are already complete. And the ones I have finished don't drop it. Haven't found any merchant that sells them for any of the new currencies either. Like you want to make it rare for legendary stuff sure. But doesn't inspire a lot of confidence when this was a big sold feature and it still doesn't work by day 3. Tier 1 cores use copper for gods sake and you get a free one. Why does those require an impossible to obtain item?

Having the same issue.

So the shield signet triggering on the golem is a bit, less than useful? Due to the golem not visably meleeing moving targets, range build seems to be the best, but at proper range as a range golem should be, the shield signet is useless. No one's standing that far out, and the engineer literally has no good weapons for that range (rifle is more utility than anything). Either we need a way to manually position the golem at will, or just throw the triggers to the engy. Otherwise its roulette of "wheres the golem standing today?"

I like the spec, but the Grandmaster actives for the power vs conditions seemed swapped? Sky Circus is purely melee (haven't seen those missiles go anywhere anyway) and often goes off without hitting anything since Jade cannons keeps them at a distance, yet seems to explode and would benefit from the conditions of the explosive traits. Meanwhile Jade Mortar is a heavy ranged attack, perfect for use with Jade Cannons and power AOE, but instead seems to be paired with conditions, so you're losing out on the signet passive if you take it.
