Well... i still hope that means you can get more then 1 starter kit bundle " One item bundle we’re debuting is a legendary starter kit, meant to provide a new inroad to the legendary crafting system. These starter kits are a way to turn your playtime into progress toward a specific legendary. " As there are 4 kits in the bundle and only 1 and can be chosen per bundle , but... according to https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Legendary_Weapon_Starter_Kit Limit is 1 per account (not per bundle) -it's confusing

(in regards to the new daily rewards) Can you only use 1 of these starterkits(with 4 options) per account or will other versions become available with another 4 options later on and you can also select those as well? There are other old Gen 1 legendaries i'd rather make if this is just 1 starter kit per account, but i'm not sure that is what it means. As its available now, and i'd liek to get it before it gets marked up, but again i don't want it over say the dagger or another possible future starter kit. basically what i'm wondering is can we select this starterkit now, and if another version become available later, select it again since it would have different options it would be a different box? Or is it 1 starterkit per account regardless of the new options in the box. (i don' t know if this i coming but it seems like something they might do.) I'm kinda confused here on this.

on 2nd thought i'll keep my comment to myself so its always avial when i need to kill them 😄

no AA for me either 😞 but 400 will push me over the 1300 limit so kinda need to be able to select this, and not just give me credit less u can push it over 1300.

i thought maps had a time limit. if you don't move in alloted amount of time it kicks you to new map?

welp its early in the week but hope this gets hot fixed soon!

i think its def bugged. i read on reddit that if you jump off the platforms and kill the snipers the old fashioned way it works, but then that is not shooting them with the rifle from the magic platforms. I gave it a try anyways and it worked! this is def bugged. it works for some and not for others unless they cheat. and i saw plenty of others jumping off the platforms as well so something is up with this event.

I've done this twice now and shot all the floaty kryptis mobs, some on the ledges and snipers and get no credit for participating at the end. Is there some trick to doing this or is it bugged? event starts at the Bastion of the Obscure [relic repository poi] are and ends at the Bastion of Knowledge NW corner. I switched instances and still it did not work.

So you weren't saying weeklies in general you were talking about something specific that's broken. ok . What i read from another commenter was that on average it took 7 hours, (but yea this problem is 1 reason i don't do wvw for dailies/weeklies). much like you you wouldn't know what the drop rate is from opening 100 bags -- you need more data, i was just saying once we see the variety of tasks, then you could better tell on avg the length of time it would take. but if stuff is broken- obviously it will take longer or not complete at all, but that' s not really fair to then say it takes a long time. More so its broken the way it is and needs fixing. also for wvw i would wager some of this is catered towards zergs. losing the option to see all the dailies i think hurts big time when things like these defender tasks pop up.

pretty sure someone can counter every point you made, i'll give it a try as far as easiness. yes old way was better if you were just logging in a for a few mins and logging out, but... + The new system also helps to keep the game world alive by sending players all over the place with a decent variety of PvE, PvP and WvW. A lot of variety and fun each day! Everyone gets different tasks (issues yes) but they all don't go to the same spot to grind. plus the rewards are arguably better(and yes people are arguing over that) - The new system removed the options of the old(so what is every single great aspect you mention?) the options to choose that day which daily you wanted to do across the 3 game modes. now yer stuck in the modes you chose the day/week before and whatever pops up you have to do. + Making it all one single currency payout with the daily login, feels exactly like ESO's Endevaours allowing you to purchase expenisve things for little effort. Mount skins, legendary starter kits- worth a lot, template builds and other previous gemstore items for jut doing dailies that most were already were doing. better rewards! +/ - I think the devs understand this entirely "that by placing this system into a currency reward, allowing players to "buy" what they want that it would turn into a thing many players are going to feel that they HAVE TO DO, to get enough currency to buy more" that seems like the exact point and it will get those account hoping players to actually play the game and be more immersed in the world or get old vets to quit playing, one of the two. 😄 (it does feel to benefit new players initially more as they don't know what came before, but some of the rewards are what i as a vet have wanted for a long time so its not too shabby for some things) *overall it does feel slightly better then the old way. There are def issues, a bunch of issues! but over all feels better. (and if all "gods" hears here is that it's better then they aren't listening)

well 1 obvious problem i have with this is that we need those essence to make stuff for ourselves and most likely need them for legendary armors. so it should not be tied to group things. I get that you'll probably be doing rifts with a bunch of random people but not everyone will be in the same party. Though (i'm totally guessing) if 1 rando has a rare box maybe everyone there will get rare essences? cause i've gotten some already. I think they could have designed this better. but again that's anet.

ah so i as a solo player get boned again from anet ic. 😞

Well if someone said weekiles take 7+hours they are missing the point. You shouldn't do them in one day and without a couple weeks or months to gather the data on what they averagely are- i doubt they take that long. it wasn't my experience the 1st week. do 1 thing today another tomorrow , etc its ez. it gets you to play the game. their oldway was selling accounts, i remember when accounts were 5 bucks each and that's why we had login farmers. blame anet. now they changed that. it sucks but again that's anet.

i like the mount skins , but i miss wow's(subsciption game reasons) method of getting them from various activities. basically having them accessible to be acquired through game play is a bonus, if you don't use the new system you won't be getting them. as for the other rewards the do seem lackluster.

thanks for replying, i didn't know any of this.

in order to craft the box it cost 50 essences and is a one time use thing. I just used it and only got 34 essence back- what is the point of this???

does Uncommon Kyrptis Motivation boxes disapear after so many uses? i made a t2 box for an alt, then Sun morning was doing guild mision on my main and encountered a server hiccup that reset my position on the map and i had to restart a mission, after missions and when i logged back into my alt the box was gone. ??? no where on the tool tip does it say it temporary. I'd like to know before i craft another and it disappears too. at this rate its pointless to craft them if u lose all your essences making more. 😞 25 to craft but i only gather 55 before it disappeard. that ratio is awful. oh wait no, it was 50 to craft- well.. kitten.

1) ESO has seals of endeavors which are pretty much the same as the new daily system (i edited my comment above for more info on that) 2) more players then you think about asset reuse as i wasn't the one that started that thread. just commenting how i liked it.

So at the end of the day 11 hours later, i finally got the Fractal Push cheevo and not quite sure how. 1 possible reason is like enigmatic.3576 said (on another post), to not fill the (optional) essence bar and just wait to kill last boss, So basically i sat there for 2 hours ignoring content waiting for the event to pop. and yes there is a timer here https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Skywatch_Archipelago i discovered 1h and 20mins into sitting there waiting for it to pop. 😞 the other possible reason was because there was an update before i started this run, which may have fixed a lot of issues? idk, i didn't think anyone noticed this wasn't working. I just felt like i was in a void of nothingness all day long, with not many answers in map /guild chat or forums reply until about 4 hours ago. but it's early into xpac, this is what happens:/ just wish this cheevo was described better. because its not really a story instance journal thing its an open world event thing, that you have to start with a story instance to qualify for(you get the little yellow cheevo icon when you leave that instance). This just seems bad the way it is set up. and for the other one i finally figured out assist mabon too Problem was #1 i had no idea where it was! My journal is listed by story steps (1-10) not acts (1-3) as the achievement says. (it's step 6 btw) Problem #2 was that i kept doing the purple replay instances that you usually do for story achievements, but that's incorrect. You have to do the green instance twice and pick 1 of them the Lhyr or Mabon on your first run thru and then repeat the instance a second time and pick the other one. This all would have been much simpler if i knew those 2 things which i did not. 😞 😞 😞

oh goody 😞 man i've already done the map meta twice today failed once and won once and didnt get ti either time- maybe because of too many essences? ughhhh thanks for the info though! It's much better to not play in a void of nothingness.

I went thru all of story once and have since repeated steps 3, 4, 5, and 6 and have not seen the yellow icon appear for "fractal Push" or Assist Mabon" in any of those. They are supposedly in the 2nd act, the problem is i don't know what the second act is?? in my acheevos panel it says 2nd act in my story journal it says steps 1-10. Which story step are these acheevos even in? been looking all day for them and nothing. Since there are 10 steps and 3 acts i assumed act 2 was either step 4,5 or 6 but none of them show these achievements. this a bug or bad descriptions of their locations? I couldn't find this bug forums earlier(didn't exit out far enough in forums) and made another post with more details here: the funny thing is when i was in open world (not journal like cheevo says) a yellow icon appeared for Fractal Push but then disappeared when i went to do the meta which is what i was hoping that was, but it wasn't. 😞

can't delete- i just moved the comment up
