Cooling the Research Field

Too much people? Ok, you can't grab anything so don't expect to reach those 100 ores anytime soon.
Too few people? Ok, you won't even reach the phase you need to even give it a shot.

It just feels instantly like one of the worst meta-achievements in the whole game's history.
I can't even concieve how hard and unfair will be to try this one post-DF.

Numbers should be nerfed to half or then just double the timer. Or both.

This meta achievement is split into two different events. These events rotate weekly. They occur every hour in the middle of Zaralek Caverns - you can hover over the icon to see how long until it starts. It is recommended to join or start a raid group for this event.

These achievements, if you are going for them, I suggest to complete ASAP. The less people doing these events, the more difficult they are to do as they are timed. You have approximately 9 minutes to complete as many stages as possible before the timer forces you in to the mandatory last stages of the event.

Any event:
Nothing Stops the Research - Defeat the last boss of the event. Very easy and you will do this every event.
[achievement=18207] - Very easy, you will get this after a few events. Simply tag mobs.

Titan Lockdown:
Lockdown Mystery - Easy achievement, you should be able to reach this stage and defeat this boss with a small group.
Rockin Research - Quite easy, you should get while working on the other achievements. A bunch of boulders spawn during Stage 6 before the Titan Watcher and you can AoE these.
A Research Sampler - The most time consuming achievement of the Titan Lockdown event. During stage 7 small rocks spawn and the group must hand them in. I recommend building a speed set for this. You will get an average of 2-5 hand ins per event. Note that this is made even more difficult by the fact your group has to reach this stage, which you will need a big group for.

Zaqali Ruin Investigation:
[achievement=18204] - Easy achievement, you should be able to reach this stage and defeat this boss with a small group.
A Pillar of the Research Community - Very time consuming. Average of 1-2 handed in per event if that. Items are hard to see and only one person can click the very few that spawn. In its current state, you're looking at 100 events to complete this at least.
A Djaradin Puzzle - As above this is also time consuming. Only 24 are able to be handed in per event. You will be lucky to even get one per event.
The Small Disruptions - Very easy achievement, if you are in a raid group the progress is shared for everyone. Join a big raid, get to this stage and start stomping. I got it my first event.

Non meta achievements:
These achievements are from the event but not part of the meta.
Contaminant Cleaner - Quite hard as you need to get to and defeat one of the latest stage bosses before the timer runs out. Only happened to me twice in 50 events.
[achievement=18199] - Same as above but for the other event.

Kind of wish all of them were account-wide achievements because those 3 middle achievements where you collect 100 ore or 50 relics is complete cancer to do. At least I can just do them on my main then swap to alts during the last 2 phases to get the rewards.
