Commemorate the completion of the Flame and Frost story arc in
Lions Arch
Hoelbrak
Black Citadel.

For those in other threads talking about the fire, this is what people are talking about. In Hoelbrak (and other areas) you can see a bonfire, once you click it you receive a buff:

All stats +10%

Hi everyone,

We understand the frustration about not having enough notice to claim the achievement. The original date given for the Epilogue was incorrect, and while we corrected date in forum posts and on the website, some did not see the updated information or have the time to collect that achievement.

We will put the bonfires back in the game tomorrow, sometime during ArenaNet office hours, so players who missed out can get the Rallying Flame achievement. The bonfires will not give any buffs, however.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

EDIT: The bonfires will remain in-game until May 28.

Thank you for rectifying it. I can care less about the buffs just wanted the achievement. However do we know how long these bonfires will be up? Less than 24 hours, the rest of the week?

Until May 28. I have edited the post to reflect that info.

Hello, everyone. This is a status update on the bonfires.

As you know, after a game release, we often patch the game with high priority bug fixes (as we did yesterday).

Bringing the bonfires back was part of today’s batch of updates. We have unfortunately had to delay this hotfix, so the bonfires will not be available today as we’d previously messaged.

We’ll continue to keep you all updated on the status.

The bonfires will be returning, they are just delayed.

Thanks for your understanding.

We have not released the patch yet, so as you can see, the bonfires are not in the game.

As I said in this post the return of the bonfires has been delayed a bit.

Thanks for hanging in there.
