Guild Wars 2

Hello. This is my first time posting to the forum as I feel like this may be an issue that may have affected many but perhaps no one has posted about it yet. I haven’t seen anything like this on here yet, anyway, someone please redirect me if there’s already a post and I had overlooked it. Anyway -

I just got done completing w2z2 in what shouldhave been a complete run for the Bachelor of Baubles achievement. I did this with a friend so we could carefully check every single bauble to make sure we got all of them. We got up to where you need to backtrack to the shortcut eagle, and both got on the roof. I got one bauble there, then tried to get another and disconnected. Lucky me, if you have a friend there it supposedly does not erase your progress. I go in, go back and re-complete the shortcut eagle. I carefully look on the roof to make sure I get all the baubles. The one I had gotten before remained gone, so clearly the game knew I had counted it. We get the last bauble before the boss and defeat it. My friend got the achievement, while I did not. I believe this is because I had disconnected while almost at the very end of the level, which is very disappointing.

I know this is probably going to get flamed as stupidity because I “missed a bauble somewhere” but I assure you I did not – I really do think there was some kind of miscommunication within the connection. Before I d/c’ed, we both got the eagle achievement and the achievement for killing every ninja, as well as the bachelor of secrets for that level as well, so I assure you we really did check every single corner and get every single bauble.

Thanks for your understanding – I hope this issue is being looked into! (:

i believe if you do DC, even though it may have kept track of the baubles you did pick up (seen from the missing bauble on the roof when you got back), the tracking for the achievement itself will be lost.

sucks this happened. : (( but you might have to do it again as the achievement for colelcting baubles i think don’t pop until you complete the level as you have to collect them all in “one playthrough”. whereas the other achieves, shortcut eagle, secrets, assassins, you get as long as you satisfy the requierments during the level.

Ahhh… Well that’s hateful to hear. ): Thank you for the feedback though.

there is way to much consistency for this issue for me not to put a support ticket in. ive tried 6 PERFECT bauble runs of 2-2 all ending with no bachelor of baubles. ARENA NET this is bugged for sure!

i cant get this achievement before the end of sab in 5 days. goodbye honours in applied jumping! you tantalized me but nothing is meant to be forever. support ticket incoming.

Just re-did it. Got all the baubles and also got the achievement, and I didn’t do anything different from yesterday. Guess it was indeed the disconnect. Thanks again akamon for letting me know, it’s good to know for future reference.

well for me, the only thing i haven’t checked is if visiting the continue room at all during the run will block the achievement. that’s the only thing i haven’t tested as most of my runs i had to visit the continue room.

I know people that got this last weekend. Chances are that people here are missing a bauble or two.

I just got it, and went to the continue room more times than I care to admit. So that is not an issue.

this is good news, friend! i will rewatch the entire popular guide and then reembark one last time. i polished off everything on the mountains of ice today im chuffed it didnt bug out! ^^

ok i have almost made it through the pain cliffs once more. i made it out of satan’s lair itself but i think my trip there effected the game. i went back to the very start just before i ask an eagle for a lift….. would you believe it? all the rain bro bridges are down from start to the first octo pal. IN NORMAL MODE. fishy no? the rain bros have NO collision.

this lowlife rain beast stole my achievement! arrest this man!

edit all is well! i have FINALLY achieved bachelor of baubles 2 after much toil! other things of note.

+a bauble reappeared after some point in the game. whether that be after the continue room or otherwise i cannae mention. the baubles position is the usual hides behind a hillock after the third checkpoint.

+i went and unlocked the checkpoint which initially leads onto the towering-poles-of-terror. the second to last checkpoint. usually i never go into this checkpoint because thanks to the meditating stranger i know the route to an easy access flag which access the frozen hills directly close to the end.

+i stood directly in front of the open chest as the floating robot was defeated. it might not be important but worth mentioning so based arena can track down the cochroaches in their riggings.
