Guild Wars 2

“Place among the top three racers in Sanctum Sprint”
I have placed 3rd twice now and I have not received this achievement.

Somehow, I’ve managed to get 14/15 Frequent Sprinter, and 15/25 Crowd Favorite, how would I have 1 more completed races if I’ve only ran 14?
———————————————————————
Other than those achievements(I’m sure some of the others are bugged too), there’s been a few issues with the race in general.

For one, the lightning leap is rather inconsistent when you’re using it to leap to those predetermined points. Sometimes it seems if you hit it to fast it just makes you start over from the last checkpoint or sends you directly to the ground.

Another issue is when you fall off or whatever else and end up at the checkpoint. Sometimes your character does this awkward squat thing like it’s trying to take a dump in a hole(during which, you cannot move) and other times it’s normal.

Also it really feels like you’re falling too long before it decides to reset you to the checkpoint. It should just port you back after you miss your jump.

Am I the only one having these issues?

In regards to the Frequent Sprinter and Crowd Favourite, when a race is near the end and you start as a “practice round”, if you finish you still “complete” a race, so that’s what happened there I expect.

In regards to the lightning leap, I think it’s an issue with them putting you on a server too far away from you, as happens occaisionally in pvp. It’s annoying as hell, the latency is awful and probably won’t be addressed.
