Fleabite.7528

I started doing the weekly Kryptis Rifts a bit late - so was playing catchup on the associated Rift Hunting achievements. While I got Master of the Rifts a while back, I could swear that I still had three outstanding zones to do But suddenly all are showing as done today. Anyone else now unexpectedly showing all as done?

Two spawns in a row of Vesp at 15 seconds only. Very much still broken!!

Nope - no invisible bag on the character I was using.

This is an odd one. I cannot list a stack of Seasoned Wood Logs on TP today - yet have easily been able to list a small number of other stacks and items with no problem.

Back when LWS4 happened, I got my Skyscale early (when the grind was even longer) and have never regretted it. Just before Christmas, I finally tackled Skyscale on my Steam account - again using the LWS4 method rather than the easier SOTO route. The whole thing took me just 12 days of intermittent play. Certainly not an "insane grind" imo - particularly compared with legendaries. It took me several years to grind out my leggy PvP armour sets, eg.

Can confirm - did two bounties from the Temple of Kormir board, and neither counted towards the weekly

Perhaps, perhaps not! When you speak with the wizard overseeing construction, they hint that that new left hand gate will be a multi-portal to all Tyria zones (like the one in EOTN).

There presently seems no way to access Inner Nayos that I'm aware of, without each individual character completing the first couple of story steps to unlock the WP. No portal, no scroll, no unlocking quests. This won't help zone populations!

Having just given up both my dailies and weeklies on my Steam account [though completing it after a lot of effort on my main], here's some heartfelt feedback: A big plus on the rewards. These are varied, and I can choose what I want when I want them. Top marks. As many, many have said, for the tasks themselves the lack of actual choice is killing enjoyment. Sometimes I just can't do the dailies. Now for the first time I can't finish the weeklies. That demotivates me, and I'm less likely to play the game at all. Having a mix of PVE, PVP and WvW can be disastrous. PvP paths are FAR easier than the other two. Might as well just turn off PVE and WVW because of the real risk of bad options [and no, devs, that's not a reason to make PvP harder!] A big part of my game enjoyment after 9+ years on my main account is building up my alts. The old system was great for that, particularly for map exploration and story. But now we have almost no map exploration by region, or expansion, and that adds to my demotivation. At some point, I may simply give up both dailies and weeklies. That's not me being dramatic - just a reflection of my need to spend my fairly limited time on what brings value to me in the game, and is enjoyable. How to fix this? Listen to your players. Give us multiple choices each day [not just one extra]. Restore player agency. Stop playing god on what I can and can't do.

Bugged two weeks in a row. Classy.

What I don't like is the lack of choice: I now MUST do X in mode Y to obtain rewards. So I have to make and use a utility. Or capture a specific WvW target. But I can't choose other options from a broader list. And no more 'Harvest A/ view a vista in Map B' - which was such a lovely chilled approach to dailies. No flexibility. No choice.

This is presently very buggy. Despite two runs (one full, one last boss) at level 23, the achievement is not completing. Update: It seems 'complete at scale 2' means T2 upwards, not level 2 - so T1 doesn't count.

To be clear, I'm not suggesting all LW chapters be given freely. However LWS2 has no unique maps or metas and no unique currencies associated with it (since these have been freely available for some time). Most of the action actually takes place on core maps. It's really just a direct continuation of LWS1 and the teeing up of Heart of Thorns. Ironically, despite having the least to offer of any living season, LWS2 currently retails at 30% more than all others - at a whopping 1,200 gems. If that was my first LW purchase, I might wrongly think that the others could represent equally poor value.

It's almost nine years since Living World Season 2 (LWS2) began, and surely time for this season to be made permanently free to all players. Here's why I think this should happen: There are no maps uniquely associated with LWS2 (since Silverwastes, Dry Top and their metas have been free to play for some time now.) It's really just plot. Unlike later living seasons, LWS2 isn't associated with any of the three expacs. It's therefore more akin to LWS1, which is now permanently free to all. Making LWS2 free helps drive newer players (or those who missed the 2014/15 or 2021 free windows) towards the first expansion through the story. Would love to see this happen - along with a 'Return to LWS2' event maybe.
