Recently while playing Crab Toss i noticed that the point tally in non of the corresponding achievements was going up whilest performing the necessary actions.

Tested it out on multiple characters and indeed the achievements are stuck in place.

Kinda sucked cause i finally had the crab when everyone else was downed, looked up with a smile, and no achievement :’(

Same here – missing out on the participation achievement and the 4-5 carries I have done. Also super bummed that as a level 10, I can purchase the omelet for the achievement, but cannot eat it, even though I am up-leveled to 80. What’s the deal with that?

Great, now to waste more time in Crab toss to get the champ again and hope it will actually count.

My things still aren’t counting.. i was so happy to finally hold the crab when the game was over for the first time, but I didn’t get daily or the achievement, nor did I get any counts towards crabgrabber…

I am not getting credit for even entering the event. I received initial credit, then it disappeared.

Now, I have no credit for doing this event.

I’m not getting credit for any of the Crab Toss achievements either, and it totally sucks because even one would give me completion of the “25 southsun achievements” achievement. Really not cool!

Has anyone heard any word on the bugged Daily achievement issue? The following day, it seems to be fixed for me, but what about yesterday? It’s bad enough that the Crab Toss Champion is in the daily to begin with. But to not give us the achievement after we do it???

I’ve been checking this fourm several times a day but heard nothing so far, any one else hear anything?

thanks.

I finished my Crabgrabber last night after the dailies reset, and also got credit for the Daily Crab Toss Champion, so I would imagine the achievements work again.

Getting no progress on these titles either today, picking it up after working on other stuff for a few days … luckily I got crab toss champion previously, more than a week ago, and I am half way to crabgrabber and 1/3 way to crab carrier but no further progress at all today from well over an hour’s play … slightly miffed! Hearing that crab toss is being removed after the current story … ? Please don’t, at least not before you fix this and give us back the time we need to catch up!

Still not able to progress Crabgrabber and Crab-Carrying Competitor (only two titles left), so not sure how fixed this is.

Broken for me too. Can’t increment count for Crab-Carrying Competitor or Crabgrabber. It would be nice if they kept the event in for a while after Southsun is finished to allow us to finish the achievements.

I’m not impressed one bit, I finally managed to get everyone steam rolled while chasing me I even got the message that I had eliminated my opposition only to find out Arena Net broke the achievements after. Not happy at all.

Well, ArenaNet has successfully ignored the fact that all the crabtossing achievements have been broken for the last week, so I guess none of us who still need to finish are going to get to.

Thanks ArenaNet.

@Beta

None of the crabtossing achievements are currently “detecting” any progress toward them, so if you haven’t already completed them there’s no way to complete them. Since the event ends tomorrow, that means we’ll likely never be able to complete them.

This is just kittening bullkitten. Why add something in the kittening game if you are not going to fix this kitten.

I grabbed the grab and least 10 times and not one was added to my total.

I have been doing crabtoss in Southsun Cove for several days now to get the event achievements done. They refuse to update; my status bar for “Crab Toss Participant” “Crab-Carrying Competitior” and “Crabtacular!” have refused to budge.

Furthermore, it will not give me the Daily Achievement “Crab Toss Champion” when I win a full matchup.

I have been a committed player since pre-release which means that these are the only special event achievements the game list as not completed.

Reposting here as people don’t seem to check out the bug report threads as much as Living Story despite this being a bug.

As of this post, Crab Toss is still broken. Just popped in now to check and managed to even fill crabtacular requirements. No achievements, no progress on crab grabber and crab carrying.
I contacted Support on this and and had a short back and forth with them, first getting the standard “Please report this on the forums or in a bug report.” response. I informed support that I had gone through the standard bug support procedures but due to the timed and thus delicate nature of the problem, I was concerned by lack of communication on the problem through any of Arenanet’s normal communication channels. Support responded as below (slightly reformatted to fit the spoiler).


Thank you for contacting us once more regarding this bug with the Crab Toss activity. I understand that it can be frustrating not to see immediate results based on your in-game report. Keep in mind that even if we are able to verify a report made through the game it can take time to resolve the issue. The exact amount of time can vary wildly based on the severity and complexity of each issue. As it has been reported both In-Game and on the Forums, I can tell the Development Team is aware of this issue at this time and they are currently working on addressing it. Please keep an eye on the official forums for any future updates and announcements regarding Guild Wars 2 news. Please let us know if you have any other questions concerns. Thanks again!

So from the looks of this, it seems that they are aware and doing something about the issue. I guess now we can only cross our fingers and hope for the best.

Hopped on to get the rest of the crab grabs I needed for the title, and nothing is counting.

I’m gonna be kind of annoyed if I miss out on the title because of this. The living story is a great idea but you cannot afford to let things get this buggy when your players are already on a time limit. I would gladly take slightly less frequent content over rushed and buggy content.

The lack of dev response on this issue is disheartening. I really hope they end up extending crab toss for at least a week. I’ve played off and on for the last two weeks without any achievement credit. I’d like to at least get the participation and victor ones, since I’ve qualified several times.

I’ve been keeping an eye on this for the last couple of days and I’m disappointed that the window for completing these achievements is closing without them being fixed.

Stuck on 42/100 and 216/300 and would have had the achievement for holding the crab last several times over if it had been working. Fortunately I won when it was working and did get that achievement, but alas …

you cannot afford to let things get this buggy when your players are already on a time limit..

Of course they can. Maybe you and I can’t afford it in terms of investing our time in something that didn’t provide the compensation that seemed to be offered, but they certainly can. The content will be gone and with it the obligation to properly maintain it. That’s the great thing about temporary content from a developer’s perspective. The amount of time games have to spend in the oven, so to speak, is not trivial, and temporary content allows them to mostly skip that step. A lot of people would rather eat cookie dough than fresh baked chocolate chip cookies anyway.

In today’s MMO world where players chew up content and then move on, it’s arguably considerably more efficient to do it this way. How many people are going to stop playing because they couldn’t get their title or achievements? 1? 2? 10? Whatever number it is it’s not significant. Over the long haul, a trend of buggy temporary content can certainly be a contributing factor in a more significant number of players leaving the game, but it’s not going to cause it outright.

I just won crab toss and didn’t get the achievement nor do I have any “grabs” or “carried” counts in my other ones. Am I misunderstanding how this game and the achievements work or is it more bugged content?

I haven’t gotten my achievement to increase the count at all either for the past few days. Talked to some people and they said it sometimes work just before daily’s reset, but don’t know how reliable that is as it’s not done anything for me.
