The in-game description of the season length says the season ends on November 22, which (unless I'm missing something really obvious) makes it shorter than four weeks!

So my question is - bug or feature?

If it stated DECEMBER 22, that would put it on par with with the previous seasons in terms of its length (55 days), so I have reasonable belief that the date of November 22 has been put up by accident, especially with no formal announcement that this season is going to be considerably shorter.

Also, when they last shortened a season (a mini-season that is), they also eventually adjusted the rate at which you get rewards, but it seems that the League chests have the same progression as they always have.

So what gives?

What I was wondering as well, so I have to bump this in case it's an oversight. For a minute, I was suspecting a short break just like before the last mini-season, but with the ranking on and the button stating that the season ends two weeks from now... suspicious.

These achievements have been a big motivation for me to play outside the regular seasons and without them, I don't really feel like it.

Enetering a PvP match while in a downed state removes all your PvP-specific gear, i.e. your amulet, rune and sigils.

Praise Anet, the exchange is back.

I'm surprised they decided to not limit it by time again, but I guess if there's no other use for the currency and possibly won't ever be, I guess it only make sense.

So thank you again, ArenaNet, for handling the situation so reasonably quick and unmaking the unfortunate miscommunication :)

Thank you! I am perfectly fine with this solution.

Listen. Although I understand minds change, the original forum thread specifically mentioned there will be no time limit on the exchange, so to patch this change in without any warning doesn't feel good.

As others have pointed out, we were waiting for the precise number of Divinations required for the ring, because as far as we had known at the time, divinations would've been usefull for crafting the ring only, whereas LIs can always be used for crafting other armor pieces. Not only was the playerbase not notified this option would be going away, nobody even gave us a heads-up that we will be able to exchange Divinations back into Insights. Had we known, none of us would've hesitated to exchange all our LIs.

I hope I'm illustrating the problem we have with this change clearly enough.

In principle, I'm not against this change, if it would've been communicated properly beforehand. But in this case, I believe it would be only fair to let us exchange the Insights before you remove the option permanently.

@Astralporing.1957 I even remember that post. That's why I never bothered to cautiously exchange it. It's even worse now that you can exchange it the other way around. If they had stated that such change is coming, I would've exchanged the max ammount of LI before patch.

Certainly not for me. I only see the option to exchange Divinations into Insights, which is useless to me.

So I guess we've lost the ability to exchange the limited number of Legendary Insights into Legendary Divinations with the latest patch? When I go to the general raid vendor, the only option I see is to exchange Divinations back into Insights. Which feels really gut-punching, because the only reason I never exchanged LIs before was because I didn't know how many I'd need for the ring and didn't want to buy more than necessary. Now I can't buy them at all.

Was there ever any heads-up from ANet that this is no longer going to be possible once the legendary ring is in the game?

Thank you :) I've been on those Discords, but so far, it just hasn't lined up.

May not be the best place to post this, but... I do need help with this after all. Take it as a help with a collection item, because that's what it basically is :D

Anyway - simply put, I'm looking for a group that would let me tag along when they go for a Qadim kill, since my static moves way too slow to reach him in any reasonable time frame and (not only) due to my time restraints, it's been absolutely impossible to PUG it.

I'm a DPS player, but I can theoretically run BS or druid if people are patient with me. I'm 300+ LI if that's any help. 0 kp for Qadim tho.

I don't mind playing with training groups.

The times I can play are problematic, as evenings are practially off the table for me - only possibilities are Monday and Thursday between 22:00-0:00 CEST.

However, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays I can typically play between 11:00 and 20:00 CEST.

Thanks for any and all the help :)

illconceived, thank you, very well argumented! I needed this voice of reason :D

Thanks for the other opinions as well. I've been looking for some other creative/niche uses, but I see the consensus speaking rather loudly.

So I'm a scrooge and as I'm farming BL Keys, I get a bunch of crude salvage kits for free, which I've so far refused to just throw them away. I just wanted to ask for the public opinion on what is the best thing to use them on, if any at all. Or do you think I should just stop being a skritt and finally start destroying them...?

Just when I bought like 30 logging axes for alts to run around and gather. What a timing! :D

Finally fixed the Aurora collection, now I'm gonna be stalled on Nevermore I guess... :D

This is what I do not understand either - why did it have to be the signet, and not the mount shortcut? Is it a technical issue? Is it because the mount shortcut could not be disabled on a whim? Because as of right now, a considerable portion of your playerbase has a miserable experience in the game, because they have to improvise entire builds right near the end of PvP season, whereas a disabled mount shortcut would not break the game for anyone, it would only be a mild inconvenience.

As I see it, it breaks down into two options - either people stop using action cam in PvE for a little bit and click their skillbar, or elementalists with SoR can sod off. And I don't understand why Anet went with the second option.
