I'm just avoiding ranked until this beta is over

seriously.. why?

yes, please remove stealth on demand from thieves, mesmers, and engis as well. Since you know, it's OP

Yep achievements added this Tuesday, and Anet didn't count whatever pvp ranked activity you have done first week, so basically 1 week to finish them. For example : one achievement requires 60 pvp games to be played in 7 days, 8 games per day. I know Anet have their statistic made by bots, and 8 games / day doesn't looks that much but still.......some of us chose to not use bots... Actually I thought this too, but when I did a few ranked matches I noticed they weren't counting for these newly added achievements. These must be for the next full season, so I guess this mini season just didn't have any.

wait... they added these in with the patch this week and one week to finish them?

I didn't see any new achievements in the PvP Seasons category today, are they not having them for this mini-season?

I didn't realize at first that all the special scrolls can be purchased from the TP if you really want, the Charr ones are expensive, but the others are pretty cheap. You can at least get those out of the way and save up for the Charr ones with map currencyI don't intend to because I don't see the point. In the south, the special missions were useful to advance the legion tracks. You got new missions hard and fast and they gave lots of extra commendations. If I'm going to have to pay to get the commendations faster, I'll just buy them at the Quaestors and save myself the trouble of having to frantically compete for mission achievement credit with other people in the mad zerg that is the northern meta.Yea, it's pretty frustrating. Some of the north events end in about 4 seconds with the mega zerg

this is their way of getting people to stay on the map longer. a 3 hour meta and scrolls that almost never drop

I know that this has been talked about many times before during ranked seasons, but it's just a part of ranked that I've never understood. Some examples from my recent matches:Win +7, Win +4, Win +6, Loss -19. That one loss wiped out not only my previous 3 wins, but even more points than the 3 combined. I know what people are going to respond "you lost that much because you were 'expected' to win that match. Really? Because it was a blowout match that no one threw, and we lost by over 300 points. And some of those low point awards for winning were HARD fought wins so don't tell me I was 'expected' to win those either. It's just an incredibly frustrating system that makes me NOT want to play ranked matches once I get the minimum games required because I'm so afraid of a loss and what it it will do to my ranking. Lot's of fun!

Today was now the third time this has happened to me during a ranked match. Early on in a match, for no apparent reason, my game will suddenly freeze and become completely unresponsive. It's such a bad freeze/crash that I can't even alt+tab out or alt+F4 to kill the window. The only solution I've found is to completely reboot my PC. What's even stranger is that when this has happened, it's also affected 2-3 other members of MY team only. All three times when I am finally able to get back in, the other team has all 5 members, we're triple capped, and already down 150-200 points. To make matters even more frustrating, I'm losing ranking even though this time one of my team mates never even came back. Has anyone else experienced this? And why does it seem to only affect one team?

I'm curious if anyone else has noticed the drop rate tank significantly since the first few days (stealth nerf?), or if I am just having some bad RNG. The first 4 days I opened all 6 chests each day and had 4 weapons from 24 chests, which was a drop rate of almost 17%. Since then, I've opened all 6 chests for 7 days and have received 1 weapon from 42 chests, which is about 2%. I was either really lucky the first few days, or really unlucky the last 7 if nothing was changed behind the scenes. Also the price of 257 bauble bubbles (64,250 baubles) + 10 gold seems excessive for one weapon when the TP prices aren't that much more for gold alone.

Please, please, please do not ever make this an achievement. Trib is already cruel enough. If for some awful reason you decide to, be sure to make it 0 APs and perhaps just a title.

I've been keeping track of my drop rates every day. I've now done 5 days of opening all 6 glitched chests (the first 5 from normal mode, and w2z3 from infantile, because I refuse...). My drop rates:2/60/61/61/60/6So overall that's 4 weapons out of 30 chests, which is about 13%. I want the achievement to unlock them all so I've been keeping them, and thankfully they've all been different so far. I think the price of 257 bauble bubbles for a single chest is ridiculous, if I get impatient I'll probably just buy them off the TP by the end of the festival.

I can agree with this, and i have the thing. There needs to a be a line..and i dont think having weapon skins for sale that are legendaries is a good idea. Seriously, its better than the gen 2 Torch, and thats an issue. The gen 2 Torch is seriously the worst legendary ever created. I think I've seen it one time since it was released, so it's not too hard to be better than that thing.
