Guild Wars 2

NOTE – Edited this main post with additional information from my comment below.

I know one of the biggest problems for people and temporary content was not being able to get the achievements in the limited time you were given (If they were luck based or skill based)

Now it seems, if you go into the historical tab in the achievements it only shows the achievements that you unlocked and not the ones you missed; I really hope this is intended because this has put my mind at rest A LOT. (Unless I have missed something)

It means I can go for the achievements and get the ones I find possible without having the ones I failed to get (as such with the Sky Pirate Dungeon Achievements) hanging over my head forever.

Some achievements wont show up as COMPLETED if you didn’t finish all the tiers; it will show the completion for the highest tier you reached (If for example; you only ate 10 candies instead of the full 250)

But it does remove any achievements you didn’t complete which for completionists with OCD like myself; this is a god send – I know people will call me out in this next comment but it means I can enjoy the content I want to without being forced into others (Crab Toss for me, as an example).

This is EXACTLY the kind of fix I wanted for achievements and the feeling of being pressured in regard to achievements.

Thanks!

I have OCD AND I am a perfectionist. I am right there with you. =)

According to my friend, some of his are showing up as not completed; is anybody else having this issue? I know some that I missed achieving have definitely gone off the list (few from sky pirates and some from the Winter events too)

EDIT: Nevermind I worked it out after looking at his screenshots he sent me.

It does in fact remove achievements you haven’t done – The reason they were showing up (without saying completed) is because he didn’t complete the full achievement but just a few tiers.

For example; He only ate 10 Zhaitaffy; so it shows the achievement for the respective tier.

Phew! I can still rejoice at this change!

I guess it doesn’t matter either way to me, but I would have liked it as a check box for those that don’t want to display the unfinished ones as I don’t mind seeing the achievements I missed.

But technically they weren’t done. So as a completionist, I don’t see how this is desirable.

OP means that a major annoyance was the constant reminder from looking at previous achievements that you didn’t do it (the bar was empty). This helps alleviate that, at least when looking at your achievement panel.
