Most likely it's Frostfang), the dragon champion that Aesgir supposedly slew in one punch after obtaining the same jotun scroll Braham used to enchant his bow. The legendary axe is named after that dragon champion, which was said to be Jormag's mightiest champion (at the time/so far as of core).
Aesgir killed Frostfang on his way to battle Jormag, the latter battle we see via the vision took place at Aesgir's Legacy.
Ding ding ding!
Thanks for bringing this to our attention! I'll pass this along.
Wait, so no skyscale rift closer achievement? Clayton D:
Yep! That is my fault! Notes will be added shortly.

Stupid question that I know probably won't get an answer. Around how many "takes" does the sound team usually do to get a sound effect just right?
Ooo. Great question. I'm honestly not sure. I think it's more of a gut feeling. So maybe a couple here and there to experiment and then there is a handful of mixing that goes on the computer side. I'll ask them though because I can only guess.
Your fiance is amazingly talented!!! Thank you for sharing!
Just like you (from what I can tell) I'm very grateful for all the people behind Guild Wars 2 to have designed, developed and maintained such an incredible game. They gave me the opportunity to experience an extremely well fleshed, immersive and enjoyable MMO. A lot of other games of the same genre felt tasteless or outright annoying to play after I dived into GW2. So yeah, even if it had to end tomorrow I'm grateful for their work and I'll keep a lot of fond memories of it.
Nothing lasts forever. The beauty comes from enjoying it while we can.
You're awesome! Thank you :)
The sound of ice at the end! Sound team is still there doing its thing!
This sound team is bananas. Also side note: They don't just record amazing audio in the most oddball ways. They script and code that stuff in as well. They're amazing!
Well now I need to go bug Rubi! Excuse me! :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to give us, at Anet, a shout out! It is often tough to ride the line between giving enough information and holding back on information that we can't share. So I really appreciate the community's understanding and patience. Posts like this are the equivalent to how ya'll feel when you get a professional response from a dev. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you and to everyone else for such kind words!
I am going to start getting busy here in a bit so as you all start to transition over to Episode 2 I'll be a bit heads down. I still plan on peaking in and conversing with you all! Don't be afraid to @ me either!
I'm excited for 2020! Let's gooooo!
/u/anet-clayton I know you probably aren't related to this, but I saw you are active in reddit lately and it seems like the person responsible for this achievements fix just forgot to do it (has been almost 6 months), so I'm pinging you hoping maybe you could tell them to fix it. Thank you man.
For reference: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ruler_of_the_Skies#achievement9991
OK! Here we go! This was a larger fix then I thought but the team rocked it out! The achievement(s) will be coming out with Episode 2. A couple things to note: The title is still the only reward outside of the AP points. There were a couple of added rifts in case anyone was keeping count.
The ones in Bjora Marches were not added simply because
1. They are a bit different in that they give you karma.
2. They are encapsulated within the Icebrood Saga and that isn't finished :)
So. Thank you SO MUCH for bringing this to our attention and I hope you enjoy exploring around Tyria for all the rifts and that sweet title!
Yep.
They made another amazing mechanic, yet it doesnt do anything. It doesnt punish you at all, and people dont even care about clearing stacks anymore because there is no way you are going to get killed since you are able to self-break it.
We experimented with harsher conditions but the fact became that it was just too annoying while trying to do a collection or event or story bit. There is absolutely room for a stronger version to exist in the future. With that said, if you are flying on a Dragonscale or griffon and get turned to ice, you fall hard haha. So that is something that is a bit more punishing.
we don't deserve you
aw shucks! It sounds like we've identified the fix and we are actively working on getting this back online. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention!
Dont do us like that
TBF it's really small stuff like this, but yay! First one found!
IF the system somehow got abused by PvE players (I still don't see the issue) we could just get a debuff
onafter moving to the instance that prevents us from getting rewards, easy.2/3 of the tech is already here (mentor, volunteer) so I think it is doable.
EDIT: Well, I still think it is doable. But maybe /u/Anet-Clayton or /u/Anet_Myranda could tell more (even if it's "no") or at least pass the suggestion(s) forward?
Everything is doable :) But the amount of resources and time would be an unknown. I think it's a cool idea but it sounds like a lift tbh. I don't believe maps are currently set up to have togglable conditions set. I.E. this map is only allowed to populate people with this flag set.
This would also require a UI design and QA so it wouldn't just be engineer and server work. I'll gladly pass the idea along! I think, however, it would be some work to figure out. That work would have to be prioritized and weighed against other high demand things.
was a great fix, tyvm. Now the boss is challenging and badass a bit
Taylor and the encounters team did a great job getting this fix out ASAP!
Any reason why the chance of a unique weapon or armour skin is not an incentive to keep doing these? Once you have the achievement, there is literally no reason to do this unless you like the fight.
Sure, but the same is true once you get that unique armour skin.
Truthfully, it's not. Everything in the strike mission can be obtained without and it's really not that hard to get it out of the strike. I'm 3 weapons away from having completed every single reward from this patch and it's not like I played it every day nor dedicated that much time to it as I've mostly been doing wvw or pve raids instead.
There should be a unique reward per strike :)
Feedback noted! :)
