Aside from "Seriously 2.0" I've got one achievment left the "Is It Hot or Is That Just You?" one where one must kill 25 bloodmounts with a flamethrower.

It doesn't sound too hard but, regardless of the type of horde match I try to set up I keep getting Tickers.

Anyone know when this Ticker BS is going to end so, I can bust out this last achievement?

They show up on wave ten (or multiples thereof) on the Dark Corners' maps (Memorial, Allfathers and Highway have a Scorcher).

Sounds more like the Ticker thing from the previous Horde XP thing is still running.

Burnout from a 6+ month delayed title?

Yeah, the XP event is still going despite being 4 days after its deadline. I don't need the XP anymore I just want to kill some bloodmounts which won't show with this stupid Ticker Maddness still going on. Short of clearing my cache and playing offline I'm out of ideas.

Itll fix itself Im sure.. Im guessing Epic are leaving the XP thing running for a week or three to ensure stragglers can still get level 100 (& Im sure something similar will happen for seriously 3.0, unless xbox 3 is due out)
