Replaced current event achievements meaning those skins are no longer collectible?
kazerniel
I’d like to know this too. I haven’t done LS3, so I haven’t done Open Letters either 🙁 Or Knight of the Thorn, but at least that one seems to exist in this new version too.
DragonWhimsy
They’re the same they’ve just been organized better and the category is renamed. Plus some meta achivements have been added that grant core Tyria mastery points.
kazerniel
Yay, thanks!
Dulfy
Replace is not the right term I guess, it is the same achievements but labeled as side stories now
kazerniel
Thanks! I’m actually glad they renamed them. With ‘Current Events’ it always felt like I should do them ASAP, otherwise they might expire. ‘Side Stories’ doesn’t imply the same transiency.

Cool update… Wish they would fix the fucking game.
Sascha Grebe
Meaning what? The whole game is a bug?
kazerniel
I guess they meant that the European servers were down for the whole day yesterday D:
Raizel
They’re still down for many people, they still cannot pick a character, getting “network error” everytime they try (I’m among those people -.-).
kazerniel
aw D: I couldn’t play at all yesterday, but tried it just now, and it seems to work. I hope yours gets better too 🙁
Sascha Grebe
Probably but posting anonymously such a general post is just rubbish. Without the update the servers would have crashed too 🙂
Alex
did anyone get the fragmented anamoly achive so far unable to get it whole map isnt and we are killing it fast
Arrakis
Same here. Been in 5 attempts all failed despite full map all focused, cc and killing fast. Apparently there was always a fragment reaching anomaly despite the fact we killed them all. Am i missing sth ?
wQnxy
Fragmented Anomaly – which event is that?
