Guild Wars 2

It has been said that this event will be recurring, same than the Halloween, Wintersday, Super Adventure Box or Dragon Bash event.

But I have to ask some things related to the way achievements work for those events.

For all those events, there were achievements related to the event itself, and to the story of that particular iteration of the event (exception being SAB and the Gauntlet that was separated from the Queen’s Jubilee section, in both cases all achievements are all about the game).

Now, a lot of people when someone uses the “hard AND temporal shouldn’t be together” argument, they respond that “it’s going to be recurring”. But how much of it will be recurring?

Will achievements (and their specific rewards), for event related stuff on each recurring event, return? Things like all the SAB achievements, the jumping puzzles on Halloween and Wintersday and all the event related inner mini-games or pumpkin/snowmen/piñata/burning effigy/hot air balloons achievements that weren’t specifically part of the story progress or all of the Gauntlet achievements and their rewards (given as it works like SAB in the sense that you progress each level).

And if they return, if we already completed them in the previous iteration, they will be marked as completed in the new iteration? For example, if we completed all achievements for all levels of SAB, will they return for those that didn’t get them, and be marked as completed for us that made them?

Same with the other events. If we completed the Gauntlet, will those achievements return for the next iteration so those that didn’t get them can complete them, but those who completed them already have them marked as completed? Same for all the other events, as in many cases there were story achievements and event achivements so those ones are trickier to separate.

I think this information will be really useful to know if we will be able to complete the Mad King Tower, if we will have to do 50 dances in front of burning efigies and destroy 150 piñatas again or it will be marked as completed, or if someone doesn’t have enough time/preparation/skill for Liadri, he will be able to get that pretty shadow miniature next year or everything will be changed.

If some dev can answer this we will be thankful because we really don’t know how much “recurring” everything is from each event

Well, we know that at least the queen’s gauntlet achievements will be completable:

Queen’s Gauntlet will return, possibly as part of the activity rotation or even other events. In any case, you’ll be able to complete those achievements at a later date.

Well at least that covers the gauntlet (though “as part of the activity rotation” sounds strange as it isn’t exactly like the other activites).

But it will still be good to hear if the others will return. I have most of them completed (except Mad King Tower) but it will be nice to know in each case if people will be able to get them if they couldn’t, and if those that already got them will have to repeat them next time.

Edit: Also, something important that is related to what I’m saying.

Please note that it’s very important that the achievements done later should be retroactively assigned to the Gauntlet tab. We don’t want a new tab with new achievements like you did for crab toss and other activities.
