Other than that I'm very casual like, my fractal skill level still stuck in T1. And I don't raid, of course. For me, my only sources of mystic coin are login rewards (20/month) and daily LLLA (30/month). Let alone the clovers, if a legendary is going to require a mystic tribute, it's going to take at least 250 mystic coins, and that will take 5 months. This, for me, is the real time gating kitten. As I added to my edit, the clovers are more of an issue than MCs. If I was smart with my MCs they wouldn't be the limiting factor, even just doing what you do. I guess they help with the clovers too. I hope they do incraese it. I'll start feeling the pinch in a few months. I'm changing my mind. T4s aren't that bad from what I've heard. You just have to be somewhat picky about making it clear you don't care about hyper-optimized groups to avoid toxicity. I haven't gotten in to them yet, but I'm almost there. I was doing fractals once a week on the highest setting I could for about 6-8 mos to get there. And the conversions are getting worse over time because of LA, but there's always the BLT and gold.

I have an average ping of 400, can jerk up to 600 occasionally, or 2000, or beyond. That's the main reason I don't do pvp. I don't even bother trying out T2, how could I, if even T1 feels stressing? edit: just one more, one more daily drop like LLLA, things would be so much more tolerable Edited May 19, 2021 by Raffrey.5271 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This means that we'd have to wait until almost the end of the year before we can acquire the legendary amulet. It looks to be very similar to what they did with the Champions episode of Icebrood Saga where they dragged it out for half a year. We likely won't know for certain until next week but any thoughts? We likely won't know for certain until next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veprovina.4876 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 By the way... Are the achievemens going to be "time based"? Or can i go back and do them if i missed some? Is this legendary amulet going to be available also after the promotion ends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new achievements and their rewards will be available permanently, so you can always complete them even if you miss the spotlight weeks. https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/guild-wars-2-live-summer-2021/ 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause i'm never sure how much time i have to play, and i don't want to invest my time in something that i might not complete "in time" and lose the opportunity. It's good that it's permanent, then i can play how much i can when the week is active with all the players, while finishing what i missed at my leisure! Thanks!

A major issue with drizzlewood is that it deflated the value of everything else needed for a legendary, so it increased the value my MCs by a ton. if they added low MC drop rates (as it takes 1000s of the different components to make a tribute) to even things out, the economy would be fine. It would balance things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and they will want to start getting those pre-orders in, so hopes of it being on GW2's Birthday are quite slim as well.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Or it could be like Heart of Thorns, which was released on October 23, 2015, along with Shadow of the Mad King (Halloween-released October 23, 2015). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lan Deathrider.5910 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 I hope that when these new achievements come out starting on the 25th that they do not include having to redo any of those super long jumping puzzles...

BlueJin.4127 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Looking at how so many IBS meta achievements are grindy, I’d expect lots of grinding. Do this xx times, that xx times, buy this with tons of materials, etc. Anet’s goal until EoD comes out seems to be to drag things out as long as possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's 2 episodes per week of the Living Stories. It might simply require having completed the episodes and the some sort of emote at certain locations. The time gate based on the achievement releases would be enough. Besides for things like Season 2 there aren't really any currencies to gather that people would not already have from RIBA farming. The whole theme of this trinket from what we know thus far seems to be reliving our past experiences since Season 1. So I bet the achievements related to the new amulet get unlocked once you've done the original meta achievement for those episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those for me were always one of the worst map currencies around. The only one worse would probably be s4e1 currency, due to how it's being obtained. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrilana.1396 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I found it quicker to farm geodes by doing map completion as you get 100 each time. If you really wanted to, you could roll a level 2 character over to the map so long as you have someone to help with the hero challenge that requires you to fight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowmoon.7986 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 My guess 4 weeks for season 2, 6 weeks for season 3 and 4 each. No IBS spotlight, it just got released. This will be a 16 week timegate that will finish September 7th. This puts my xpac release date prediction to September 17th. Pof announcement was August 1 and release was September 22 back in 2017.

notebene.3190 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Do we know what the achievements will be at this point? Hopefully not "balance on your right leg and while holding your left ankle play the episode with only your right hand...blindfolded...with a full party of five strangers...while being berated". 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
