Guild Wars 2

This is about the ‘collect all baubles’ achievements (Associate, Bachelor, Master).

I have all 3 for World 1, but I remember how painful it was. I followed guides multiple times and did not get the achievement because I must’ve missed one.

I wish the achievement would tick up everytime you got one, so that before you ended the level you could do a quick check to see if it says 99/100 (random numbers). I understand this might be a pain to implement (as it would have to go back to 0 after you left the zone with it uncompleted), but it really is a pain in the butt.

I swear I followed the guide for W2Z1 baubles to the word, but I clearly didn’t. I wish I’d been able to tell if I had missed one or not BEFORE I finished the zone. It’s incredibly soul crushing when you realise you just wasted 1-2hrs.

Keep a tally of your bauble count before you enter and then track it throughout with each one you get. Or make a checklist from the guides.

Yes, I can do that, but it would be nice if it was in game.

Well, baubles that drop from enemy’s wont count, so it l still be hard to keep track of

…I would agree though, the lack of any counter to check progress is annoying. Dunno if logistically there’s something that prevents them from doing it or not (one wouldn’t think so due to other achievements having trackers but who knows).

If you look in that thread I’ve commented 3 times, that’s the one I used.
Perhaps it’s the fact that, if it ticked up for every bauble you got, and then you left the zone without completing the achievement, the tracker would have to go back to 0, as you must do it in one run. Maybe not though, maybe they just didn’t think about it…
