Balloon Tower Tourist Problem
I cant even open the balloon chest anymore with any of my chars. I am not sure that’s intentional because I got the whole achievment, or just a bug. The search on this forum is not exactly helping either.
It seems to be if you come across the tower while the gate is open and run up to the chest without first completing an event related to the tower. The chest registers as discovered and that tower doesn’t count towards the achievement total, but it is registered by the game as having been unlocked so you can’t revisit it to get it to count towards the achievement. It is a pain, and several players now can’t finish the achievement because of it.

I was on skype with my brother when he tried to get his tourist achievement. more than half of the towers were bugged, even though he completed every event by himself (or with the few others still trying for this achievement). so no, participating in the event is not a sure way to get the towers to count.
Don’t you have to visit 30 different towers for the achievement? You can’t repeat the same tower on a different day or with a different character to advance with the achievement?
I know that is how it seemed when I completed the achievement. The only tower I came across that was bugged was the one in Eastern Queensdale where the chest already appeared to be open. All the others were fine.

Not true… I’ve looted several chests where I didn’t do the event. I only encountered the open chest problem in Queensdale, and I actually helped with the event to open the gate.
Yesterday, I did encounter 2 stuck morale events and a stuck Queen’s Champion (literally stuck, in this case… he had whirled himself inside a rock…)
There are 44 balloons out in the world, of which you must visit 30. That’s 30 unique balloons, not 1 balloon 30 times.
Once you hit 30, you cannot loot any additional chests.
It appears that the chests in Queensdale are bugged and only one will work correctly.

Yes, I can confirm, 1 of the chests in Queensdale is bugged, won’t register…no loot either…
I have had this bug happen so many times now. This has happened to me in Queensdale and Wayfarer Foothills most notably. I would have the achievement done by now if it wasn’t for the bug. I have made sure that I have not tried the chests more than once. I know for a fact that I didn’t loot several of these and when I go to complete them, it’s bugged.
