Guild Wars 2

Hi,

Maybe not even a dev, but a player. I have completed events through the doors and champion mobs spawning. In fact, I have completed about 5 of them, but the Halloween event achievement is not budging.

Is this a bug or are there specific events I need to be doing?

Thanks

Any answer to this? No other threads asking the same thing as of yet…

I’m assuming by “Halloween Events” it speaks of things like the DE in LA. I haven’t talked to anyone whose completed an actual halloween event yet.

completing the doors events counts towards the progress in Halloween hunting achievement. as for the events achievement, don’t really know what you have to do.

heres for the ghosts books thingy part. As far as the LA DE I thought I understood it to be an ongoing thing throughtout all 4 acts? In other words theres no way to complete it as of now.

Azural, you misunderstand my question. I have completed the scavenger hunt. I have completed most of everything but the achievement that specifically states ‘Halloween Events’ does not update or progress even after completing, so said, Halloween achievements….

Where is the Mad King jumping puzzle?

Kezorian, I have not done that achievement yet. As far as I have read it is not ‘there’ yet. If a Dev could answer my question now….that would be nice. Thanks

The halloween event takes place over Act 1-4, so you can’t complete it without Act 4 being out.

Wrong again Aceboy. Maybe I am not explaining myself clearly?

I have completed Act 1, I have done other achievements in the Special Event section of the Achievements tab. I have also played and completed various DE’s for halloween including the door champion boss mob ones but STILL my achievement ‘Halloween Events’ has not updated.

So, is this a bug, or an I missing the picture?

Thanks

Well seeing that this is a 4 ACT event, isn’t likely that you only budged that little bit because you have only completed 1 of 4 event Acts? Just a thought?

It is definitely bugged, I’ve also completed quite a few actual events that start at the doors and none of them have counted.

Existence, thanks for the input, sadly not the case though. Devs answering other posts but not this. Shame

There’s an event in Dredgehaunt Cliffs and another in Fireheart Rise. The update notes drop several clues about them.

Ok, I will try them. I will post back here for the people who have the same original question if this is the answer or not.

I have the same problems. The Puzzle Achievement not update after I complete the jumping puzzle… and the Halloween Events Achievement too…

Either this Achievement is bugged or it isn’t supposed to do anything… I’m going with bugged because it would make sense that at least something would have progressed this by now.

Can a dev please look into this?

I think it is the second achievement under “Special Event”. If Act 1 or the door events were supposed to advance this achievement it is not working.

Is this about "Halloween events completed "? Yeah, I got the Mad Memoires and it didn’t budge.

I think what the original poster is trying to say is that in our Achievements list (accessible through the Hero page), the overall Halloween achivements is not moving. Not the DE one at LA. The DE one at LA wont be 100% until all the four acts are completed.

In relation to the achievements, I have been having the same issue. I got several achievements yesterday night but nothing seemed to be completed. I am guessing its a bug and will hopefully get fixed soon. Its still fun to get unlisted achievements.

Ok for the Events, but for the Jumping Puzzle Achievements? I completed two puzzles but have not updated unlike my friends. :/

Still no update, but responds to other threads? Maybe we are missing something :/

Ok,

So after patch I went back to the doors and tried an event again (had to wait a bit for a door that had an event to spawn). Completed event (by myself too) and no update on that achievement.

Went to the other areas in Dred cliffs and other places advised above. Nothing. This gives me an exploration achievement but nothing else.

Can someone PLEASE let all of us know if this is bugged or if we are missing something. You don’t have to give us the answer….just if we have it wrong or if it is bugged.

PLEASE…………

Here’s my jaded assumption: WAI. This is working as intended, and you have received the appropriate rewards.

I’ve opened around a dozen Haunted Doors and have yet to see them do anything. The door opens, I wave…. that’s it. With no information available to explain their purpose or intended function, I can only take them at face value.

Basically, there is no reward. The progress bar in achievements is the ‘trick’, and the ‘treats’ are…… well I haven’t seen any yet.

But those aren’t Halloween events, are they? Aren’t they part of the permanent stuff?

Which jumping puzzle?

I’ve had this happen, too. However, upon further investigation, I almost always find either a trick-or-treat bag on the ground somewhere (I think it got tossed into the water once and disappeared) or a Halloween monster (or monsters) to fight. My wife and I have even taken turns knocking at a door and seeing what appeared, and we each did it about three times before the time ran out and it disappeared. We received something (either a trick or treat) each time.

You were able to knock on the same door more than once? I’ve only been able to knock once on any door (that hasn’t disappeared by the time I get to it )

I’ve had varying success with the haunted doors. I only encountered about 9 of them, last night. One spawned a skele/spider, one spawned something that got killed by someone else before I could even click it and then dropped a ToT Bag. One spawned an invasion of Candy Corn Elementals. One was bugged (opened, stayed open and did nothing). The rest were completely wiped out by others before I even got close.

I wish these doors were more like mini events (like the candy corn invasion one) and less of a sprint/AoE tag fest.

My guess is that there aren’t any true Halloween dynamic events in act 1, so you won’t bad able to get this achievement until a later act.

My question, what i posted before is if the Pumpking achivement count to Mad King title, i made the achivement yesterday but it didnt count, and i dont know if is anoter “bug count”.

bookmarked for later use

Thank you Anthony.

So, the answer to this question is: the ‘Halloween Achievement’ achievement found under the Special Event section of achievements is not ‘working’ because it is intended for ‘further’ acts.

I don’t mind this being the case, it’s just nice to know that I am not doing something wrong.

Also, before the ‘I said this already’ comes in – I prefer to hear things from the horses mouth.

Thanks again Anthony.
