Hi guys

Just wanted to bring this topic to your attention.
If you complete the “Lunatic Inquisition Regular” you get 5 AP.
For most activities the cap is 50 AP, but in the description it states that the achievement is repeatable infinite times.
The number in the Tooltip might just be the max number you can represent using 32bits
or something like that (2^32 = 4,294,967,296) and therefor a placeholder.

I haven’t reached the 50 AP for the achievement myself, but on reddit it is stated that you get points even after the 50 AP (see Link).
http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/1otkxk/how_to_do_lunatic_inquisition_regular/
Sorry if it is really capped at 50 and my worries don’t matter.
Will report if I finish it today or tomorrow.

I really got to like the game I must admit, as hunting down camping villagers is a lot of fun :P – but I find it bad having to play so many games in this limited amount of time (Halloween).

So, I would appreciate it if anyone could have a look at this – get an statement about how many AP are possible or fix the Tooltip.
Don’t want to spend the rest of Halloween playing Lunatic Inquisition – and yes I am an AP junkie

Thanks

Except you need to participate 8 times and each round takes so much time making it not worth it.

Even if it was infinite, ArenaNet will just fix it and remove the excess points from your account. You’ll get to keep any AP chests you managed to unlocked, but you won’t be able to get them again.

It was fixed – Now it states that 50 AP is the maximum!

I’ve finished this thing like 4 times and I still have 0 recorded as completed. That’s like 45 minutes of pointlessness.

I have played 6 games and it still says 0/8, I am not sure if its worth playing another 2 games or not but will try i guess maybe the counter is bugged but the achievement still works?

Achievement works, but you need to kill someone when you are a ghost.

I read somewhere that there was a link between the achievement (not) progressing and the way you enter Lunatic Inquisition. If you enter by talking to the Halloween dude in Lion’s Arch (marked with a pumpkin on your minimap) the achievement progresses, if you enter through one of the doors in the open world (labyrinth → NPC → Lunatic Inquisition) it doesn’t. Haven’t checked whether all of this is true, I just know that I entered for a round of LI through Lion’s Arch last night and now I got 1/8.

I noticed the counter didn’t progress when I joined a game that was in progress. If I was there when the match started, it worked. I haven’t played it in a few days though.

So let me get this straight, 5 AP for 8 games, you can earn 50 AP points max.
This means if you want all 50 AP then you need to play 80 games….
This is one of my least favorite mini games, hated it last year, nothing changed this time around. Also Ghosts should not be able to see the villagers by standing on the portal, not sure if that is a bug or inteded but either way thats way too OP.

Apart from that once a game starts, it should lock down and not allow new players to join in, Also a quick end mechanic needs to be added where

1) If Ghost(s) kill all Villagers then they win ( I believe this is currently how it is)

But please add…:
2) Villagers can use an item on ghost to turn them back to villagers so if all Ghosts are turned back to villagers, Villagers win.

otherwise u have wait out the entire timer and hope that ghosts dont find you. &2 is a Waste of time.

Yeah, is boring and not worth the time. How long do these matches take? More than 10 minutes I think. 80 games… that is fare more than 10 hours for all the AP. I’ll just wait for future living story content and other easy AP there.

Waste of time. If they at least made it only 1 time = 5 AP max for the 8 played games… that would be okay for a time limited activity.

50 too much – only good if it was permanent so you could to the stuff over the next few months… every week one. Cause nobody wants to to 80 games of this boring crap.

Btw where is the other activity that was at least a bit fun? Why did this not return instead?

Achievement works, but you need to kill someone when you are a ghost.

So thats why I still have 1/8 after playing quite a few games? It must be a bug because it encourages becoming a ghost quickly
