I've done all my TT in afternoon (really more like 1800 CET) slots with the "European" TTS group but that was in the months leading up to HoT and I never went back to do the new achievements after HoT's release.

There's room for error and I basically never saw a properly organized TT raid fail, but I've seen very close calls with TTS raids and a lot of failed attempts at 1-5% with mostly-organized raids. It's obviously better now with HoT power creep but in the end, "idling an hour before the event to make sure you have enough people on the right map" is what makes a huge difference and this is just stupid no matter what.

I ended up making lots of alts with tomes and bday scrolls in the pre-HoT lull, the original goal was one each, too, I ended up having two each because having an asura everything was worth it.

Snowflakes is easy, presents is dumb. I don't know if it's a latency thing but my success rate with presents has been like 10% the last two years and I'm not going to bother anymore.

On launch day you'd sometimes get 2-3 slots for the price of one, it was funny.

Yeah, it also worked in the other direction, you could pay 800 gems for one and get nothing, like you (and me with the 3rd one I was trying to buy that day) - though, how is "buy 1 character slot for 800 gems, have 0 or 2 or 3 slots added" not bugged :confused:

I started working on them with Neoman - didn't want the full 50 but a few more for certain unlocks. I think I managed 2 before I got bored out of my mind :v:

It's still largely the same game as in 2013 though. If you didn't like it then, I have a hard time coming up with reasons why it would be different now.

I like some of the HoT systems and improvements those have received, and the old stuff that was changed as well (Fractals etc.).

Still hate the HoT zones, enemies and story though, so I'm mostly waiting - new expansion should be out in time to compete with Star Citizen's release.

You can convert sprockets to shards in the toilet. I think the instructions are on the wiki.

That's what I did to get mine to ascended. Not going to bother buying the color globes though.

Are the color globes still from a once-upon-a-time event and not available anymore or did they add them to some current content by now?

I bought the copper fed salvager. I'm pretty much out of ideas as to what I can buy with gems. Got outfits I like, bag slots for the main, bank tabs, storage space... Guess I'm just saving it for the fun/convenient things.

Glider skins obviously.

Or BL keys if you're addicted to gems like Arus.

I know it won't happen, but some tiny sliver of me hopes for playable margonites because I always loved their design. Plus, their god has been dead for ages, if any of them are still around, they've had a lot of time to do some soul searching (and would be totally on board for killing all the human gods).

The company that struggles to actually make more than a handful armor sets for an expansion because ~it's hard~ is supposed to release an entirely new race. Sure buddy :v:
