The new weapons sigils are not unlockable at the moment. I don't see any challenge which could unlock Pulse Accelerator, Blade Slinger and Vold Caster sigils. This is game-changing bug not allowing me to play the game as others are when using such weapons. I've found a picture on the internet which shows how an old challenge looked like. Thre is no such challenge now.

@SiLv3sTeR-M The challenge that awarded the volt caster, pulse accelerator and blade slinger sigils was exclusive to the first Cataclysm that started in August 2019. So this isn’t a bug, but a design decision. Perhaps they will offer the challenge again in the future.

I know, I've found and attached a picture of the awards where we can see the big red crystals which were granted during those seasons.

But you do understand that this is game-changing decision for people, who were not playing during that period or have not completed the challenge, right?

It's like, I would give bonuses to just a few selected players and the rest will lack a 30% dmg boost on their weapon. Sorry, but that's brain bug, but who am I to judge.

They did few patches afterwards, and didn't add identical challenge to get those, why? In that case it's a problem and not a bug, on that we can agree. Either way, we're not talking about cosmetics, which someone would miss during an event - big deal. Those don't give you any benefit, like sigils do. Do you see the difference? So they should either create a similar challenge (I don't see how difficult would that be) or just add those lacking sigils to all account based on the existing fraction challenges. Makes sense, doesn't it?

@SiLv3sTeR-M  I agree with you...new players should get the opportunity to aquire those....maybe you should post that in "feed back and suggestions"

[ChiraaKitteh]

@SiLv3sTeR-M I wasn't arguing that they shouldn't be made available. Like I said, maybe they will add make them available in the future. However, it is still not a bug. It’s working as designed.

Strangely, I rarely use those weapon sigils. I do most of my damage with gear, combos and my ultimate, on every javelin.

@Valhalla-strider, I agree with you to the extend where this is rather a request for change falling under suggestion.

Yet when something is affecting game play, I'd mark it as a problem, which falls out of that category, and could be addressed as Bug > Something which was not meant to be > one player to have access to more stuff then other

@ChiraaKitteh, I doubt that they intentionally would design something which results in dis-balance between players. I would mark it as problem or lack of long-term vision.

And I do use mainly gear to fight, but have tried several times to work on weapons build, for which I would benefit a lot from such sigils. In addition, you obviously have not seen the potential of Jarra's Wrath.

[ChiraaKitteh]

@SiLv3sTeR-M @SiLv3sTeR-M Oh I know the potential of Jarra’s Wrath... I was there before they nerfed it.

If you want to keep saying it’s a bug ok, how about you 'Me Too' the following Suggestion.

@ChiraaKitteh, upvoted although it's not affecting only new players I've preordered the game (my biggest mistake). And after taking a break for half an year I'm giving it another chance, yet I was expecting more
