erapago.4387 Posted Tuesday at 09:17 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:17 PM (edited) I really like this event overall, but it was was a painful reminder of how buggy the Elon Riverlands and Desolation meta events are. Everyone yelling at each other in map chat about the best way to get the Doppelganger to play nice since it doesn't want to chase anyone anymore, and I don't even know what's going on with the Maws of Torment realm spiking event. It seems to just get skipped and cause the NPCs to repeat their lines over and over. Edited Tuesday at 09:17 PM by erapago.4387 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to just get skipped and cause the NPCs to repeat their lines over and over. Agreed. The Doppleganger one is a weird bug. It never used to have this problem, but at some point it broke and has never been fixed The Maw of Torment has been much more widely reported. The NPCs can get stuck on escort, but it was discovered that the spiking event can be skipped by skyscale fireballing the portals. Which is great for working around a bug, but an issue if someone has the achievement to do. But yes, these are long standing ones I'd hoped to see fixes for before the event. I also wanted to see Serpent's Ire in the options as well for those still needing it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to just get skipped and cause the NPCs to repeat their lines over and over. The Escort Event has always been buggy. The problem was that it stalled the meta. But it was only needed for the spikes that destroy the pillar. However, siege dmg from the turtle and skyscale also work. So people just skip that part. Which means people who want to do the spike achievement can't do it anymore. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkK.7368 Posted Wednesday at 09:16 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:16 AM Will this event remain permanently available like other "return to"? For example now I'm playing LW3, and I'm doing a lot of "return to"... Is the same? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other 'return to' from living world seasons are a series of achievements, all part of 'Seasons of the Dragons' achievement - if you complete all of them, you get a legendary amulet. (and some other goodies along the way) The current return to path of fire is a temporary event to encourage players to do older expansion content and get some small rewards for it. Temporary events like this are listed under 'Bonus Events' in the achievement list. Can be a little confusing cause Seasons of the Dragons is listed under Side Stories -> Current Events. Isn't really 'current' anymore, but those 'return to' achievements aren't going away. Edited Wednesday at 09:35 AM by Chyro.1462 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So to answer simply no it will only be the stated dates and might return in the future like the fractal rush have done 3 times now. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original "Return to..." achievements are found under the Side Stories category in the list of achievements. You can complete those whenever you want. But the bonus rush event achievements are only for this week (or whatever other weeks they choose to hold it on). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have felt bad, but only a little. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago (edited) If anyone needs Serpents Ire on EU, I am happy to help/join a group (edit I did try earlier, but couldn't find all the Zealots - it might be time to change them so they appear on the map) Edited 3 hours ago by Randulf.7614 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
