    @Sylanna.1947 said:wait... they added these in with the patch this week and one week to finish them?

    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.

    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

  4. 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!

  5. 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?

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

    @Sznurek.8791 said:And I think it's personally too much.Why would I farm legendary if I can get a more epic looking skin with more animations on bltc for money.

    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.

    @Revolution.5409 said:They also forgot the Tradeoff to add to FB, but these are insignificant details.It kinda has one. The virtues work differently between all three. It's just that they're way better for the elite specs.

    Now compare that to 1 endurance bar, tell me how they compare.Why dont you question why daredevil has better evades but also gain additional evae ... when other class have better evade but -1, instead of +1 ;)

    umm.. but DD has a tradeoff in swipe instead of steal. So yes, there's a tradeoff. FB has none.

    @ARZK.8017 said:I think the whole fight needs a revamp. Almost nobody does this fight like it was designed. Everybody is doing it by staying in the mid, healing and ignoring the whisps. Did around 20 fights this week, and EVERYODY did it that way. I tried to ask if we could do it the normal way, but nobody wanted it.

    This currently leads to my personal problem, that I cannot finish the Hold onto the Light, because yet I did not find any group.

    You can enter the instance alone and start the fight. Wait till he puts out a torch and light it yourself. Keep going until you die then reset and do it again until you have the achievement. Its not the same as doing it 'properly' but you will get it done.

    The achievement is to complete the mission without letting any torches go out. How does dying over and over again alone get you that?
