galson.2793 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Right about now I'm really annoyed. Yesterday my Deldrimor buff ran out because i spent over 0,5h in purple room. Missed final chest by few minutes. Today after over 45 minutes my buff ended and I never got my plate. Saying that people come in and say stuff like: "Only opener gets it. DUH!" or "You need to break CC bar" annoy me is understatement. Even worse is when they are kinda right because the guy saying that only opener gets it opened it and got that kitten plate first try. And even worse than that is fact that later i opened it alone and got nothing. Stoped counting kills after 10. Starting from tommorow I'm just gonna sell the plate and I recommend doing the same to others. When you start the plate game you risk too much imho.

If they only got the jewels from the final chest, and did it daily starting before reset on release day, they’d be able to complete that collection upon Tuesday’s reset. Those that got lucky with drops will complete it sooner. For example, I’ll be able to complete it after reset tonight. Just checked and it looks like at least one person was even luckier with drops and has it completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boogiepop Void.6473 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I did it a bunch, then having nothing I jumped to another map to see if I could get it to unstick. It then immdiatly gave me a plate... A Green plate, despite purple being my first room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think getting 2560 (if I did maths right) Branded Masses is way more boring and annoying than 48 Serpentine Jewels, you have to repeatedly complete hearts and/or map completion on multimple characters.

It’s 860 for just exotics or 3,360 for all ascended too. You were probably referring to what was needed for just ascended which is 2,400 (100 to start the achievements and 50 again for the inscription). I totally agree that grinding out those hearts is very very very boring. I don’t want to touch those hearts ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always go for the Graveling first, but sometimes it's already screwed up. The evidence shows that isn't how the bug works. There is no "broken for the day." Every single theory I've seen proposed has had at least one counter example proving it incorrect. As @"Gop.8713" has done, I've given up trying to figure it out; it's probably a combination of factors. Sure some things seem to make it worse, but there's nothing that one can do to avoid running into it. People in fresh maps sometimes can't get it solo; more than one person has gotten a plate within the same group of Graveling slayers. Fortunately, _everyone_ can take advantage of the work-around: getting a port to green room _before_ attempting any of the current cycle's three official rooms. tl;dr arrange your port first, then get the buff from the dwarf, take the port to the green room (and hope that Taimi has some time to turn her attention to fixing this bug) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was referring to the price to start achievements, it'll be a long process...well at least I have something to do before next living episode. Btw it's 60 for every exotic weapon plus 100 to start its achi, thus 160*16=2560, am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re correct with that total by combining what’s needed for exotics and what’s needed for the first part of the ascended weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skielsthear.6913 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Okay, this has been happening for the whole time this episode has been out now, but if there are ANY more than 1 person in the room killing the Veteran Graveling Stalker, the plate almost never drops. Also, if anyone has the plate that was dropped and refuses to leave the room, the plate never drops again. This happened tonight in the map I was leading for both metas. I had been assisting new folks with getting achievements, completing events, and when we got to the tomb raid part of the day, the Purple Room Graveling took 35 minutes to drop a plate. There were folks trolling and griefing the entire population by not leaving the room after their plate had dropped, forcing all of us to have to wait. Light Of Deldrimor only lasts 30 minutes. This makes the final room completely worthless, since the serpentine jewels are locked in the LOD-required chest. No LOD -> no chest. And before all the jumpers-on lash out with "use a mesmer with a portal," that should NEVER be the go-to resort for anything that can be done alone. As it was, there were no mesmers online until well after our LOD buff expired. Since the plate took way too long to drop, I lost out on my daily jewels, the achievement collection for that room, and most importantly, lost the respect of those I was leading trying to help them get their achievements started up. You cannot re-up the LOD buff, (which would help out IMMEASURABLY in this instance) and it is only once a day that you can do anything, even if you were to procure a new plate from the Trading Post. I hope to see a fix in which the graveling drops a plate client-side much like the Ley Energy bundles in the "Stop the Inquest from acquiring Ley Energy" current events. That way everyone who needs tomb raider can be able to get their next step with minimal issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jediwolf.8724 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 I did one room and then went into this room spent the whole time killing the boss for the plate. Never dropped. Lost the buff and then the plate drops for me. Thanks I can't use it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost more than half my buff tonight because of griefing. An easy change would be to make it possible to refresh the LoD at the NPC until all of the bugs can be fixed. There's also a bug where the hidden chest in the back room of the sauna room cannot be discovered with the LoD because it's in a small corner where the LoD won't work. There was about 6 of us trying it but no one could get the chest to appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To avoid the Graveling bug, arrange a port to the green room. To avoid the Sauna placement issue, swap maps; you can still get into Sauna area (and it usually will be in a different spot).

Infusion.7149 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I always get a port to green room first. I rolled purple as first room on my guardian today (no story). Killed graveling over 10 times with no drop (the first time had autoloot give me something) , wasting roughly 10 minutes. Switched maps, killed it again and it dropped.
