Ever-Extending Evolution bug

So, I just got the downgraded version challenge complete and it makes no sense.

I saw a reddit post where someone said just to go to act 3 and grab some shields. He said he leveled them up and on his second forge he got the downgrade. He didn't say whether or not the passives were all tier 1 or the same etc. So I figured why not. I grabbed some shields from act 3 and 4 vendors. Leveled them up. One shield had all tier 1 passives (4 all together, 3 allocated in a straight line 100% maxed xp). The other shield had a tier 2 and the rest all t1 and those passives were not like any of the passives on the other shield but I forged them anyway. I got the downgraded tier challenge and I have no idea why.

Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBTJeI-_4nY

Posting to confirm that the challenge is still broken. I combined two fully completed unique trees in the expensive unique only crucible, and it also happened to mutate one of the passives.

This should have unlocked both, but instead unlocked neither.

same, combined fully allocated unique and have 0 completion..waste of Primordial Remnant

Both shields had 3 nodes allocated on a tree of 3 max depth.

I used wrong terminology when I was asking about the combinations people were trying on the last page. If a weapon has a max depth of 5, but you allocate along a branch that ends at depth 3....even though the branch you allocated has no more passives to allocate, the weapon is not "fully allocated" to my understanding.



In general though, it'd be nice to see examples of trees that aren't counting rather than just seeing people say "my fully allocated items didn't count for some reason?"

Yeah. That's all understood. What did I miss? The problem is we were all aware of that. We all 'fully allocated' and 'fully maxed' xp and it still wasn't working.

Same issue here. Ran a Primordial Remnant. Combined 2 Lifesprigs that were allocated out 4 spots (Max it could go) on both. Got one node downgraded and didn't get credit for either challenge. Took a screenshot and submitted a ticket to support. I'm sitting at 39/40 challenges and this is the only one I need to finish. I'll report back if I hear anything from support.

I think part of the issue is that nobody knows to take a picture of the tree before trying to complete the challenge, because they assume that it will work the way it's supposed to. By the time people are looking to see if its bugged and posting here, it's too late.

Would be nice if anyone from GGG responded to this thread in any capacity whatsoever. At least to acknowledge that there is a problem or to clarify the wording of the achievement.

This league will be forever known the "downgraded in tier"

ok finally got this challenge done, used Act 5 daggers, both had crucible tree with 3 passives, one was all tier 1s another all tier 2s. First skill downgraded - challenge completed.

It took me literally about 100 runs, during which had may be 20 upgrades of skill and 10 mutations. Only 1 downgrade in 100 runs! Spent days getting this achievement.

Must be SUPER RARE mechanics or something.... good luck to all

Combined two fully allocated Mjolners - 4 nodes each, max crucible level bar
No challenge completion

Combined two fully allocated Rare Swords - 4 nodes each, max crucible bar
Resulted in new sword 11 nodes total
No Challenge completion
