There is already a thread for this bug: https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/117535/missing-recipe-elegant-artificer-backpack-level-78-crafted-exotic-backpack-recipe-merged#latest The recipe has been missing since the patch of October 27, 2020. No ETA on when it will be fixed and we do not know if it even is a known issue for Arenanet.

I am not making assumptions, I noticed a steep decline in ascended drops from reward tracks since 2018 and I merely wanted to verify if others experienced this too. Given by the reactions of others I am not alone in this matter. But if you want my own data: I have 5040 matches played since late 2014 (possibly November 2014). In this period I have dropped 34 ascended items (7 armor chests, 4 weapon chests, 23 rings). Breaking it down in years: ARMORPIECES 2021: 0 2020: 0 2019: 1 2018: 0 2017: 2 2016: 4 2015: 0 WEAPONS 2021: 0 2020: 0 2019: 0 2018: 0 2017: 4 2016: 0 2015: 0 RINGS 2021: 0 2020: 5 2019: 0 2018: 0 2017: 5 2016: 9 2015: 4 Maybe someone can spot a pattern...

The recipe wasn't re-introduced in the patch of February 23, making the recipe unavailable for 119 days already.

I suspect they straight up removed all the asc drops from the newer tracks as they diversified ways of obtaining asc gear by using strike/raid/fractal/pvp/wvw specific currencies. Well I ran AC reward track about 18 times recently to build up my reserve of Monk runes, didn't get anything from that either.

Well I would appreciate if Arenanet was at least upfront about making an unrewarding gamemode slightly more unrewarding. Noone plays sPvP for the minuscule chance of getting something amazing from a reward track anyway, but it felt good whenever you did get that ascended chest out of the blue.

It was neither fixed with the January 19 patch. So the recipe has been missing for 86 days (excluding today).

It was neither fixed with the January 5 patch.

The diving transformation disappears when you stray too far from the point where you picked up the goggles. So for the LA lighthouse achievement to work you would have to release your forward key after jumping down and aim for a point close by the rocks.

To drop in my own 2 cents, for me the issue started occurring about the same time the insane lag spikes in LWS4, PoF and IBS maps started happening (about early 2020). It is almost always limited to 3 scenarios for me: - End of a story instance, when the game is supposed to switch to a cutscene or the reward popup - End of a PvP match - End of a Fractal As you see it's basically exclusively tied to instanced content and always code 7:11:3:202:101. I created firewall exceptions for Gw2-64.exe , enabled port forwarding for ports 80, 443, 6112, nothing seems to make a difference.

Just a heads up, this bug has not been addressed in today's patch.
