I searched for a similar thread, but did not find it.

So, I just finished the playhouse without dying and Did not get the achievement. Through talking with some party members and guildemates, they say you cant even get downed.
Id be fine with that if that’s what the Achievement says, but it DOES NOT say that. It specifically says you cannot die. Being downed is NOT dying.

Anyone else having this issue? I would like my achievement, for its the last one I have left.

If you get downed you will not get the achievement…go back in and don’t get downed this time.

I also did not get the achievement. Was never downed. My elemental died. I’ll try it without him and see what happens.

Funny, the achievement doesn’t say that. I did the achievement totally legit and didn’t get the achievement like I should have.

So instead of asking for a text fix, you actually expect to get a free achievement… okay, good luck with that.

You already know why you didn’t get the achievement, so I’m not sure where you’re trying to go with this thread.

Yes. I know why, because it’s a glitch and creating threads about a glitch usually helps the situation; let’s Anet know of the problems in their game.

If by chance you’re implying I should know how to finish the achievement due to other players telling me I can’t get downed, Well the achievement says “Finish Scarlet’s Playhouse without dying.” The achievement says nothing about being downed. Last I checked, being downed isn’t dying at all. In the least. I made this thread because it is technically a glitch when I earned the achievement. Thanks for your input though.

No it is just the wording, if you want the achievement don’t get downed and you will get it…honestly how did you get downed anyway? The place is so easy.

:) Thanks for your input. Besides, I cannot help the other players and how they play their characters when within the instance.

Or it’s intended and just not added into the tooltip. Being downed makes you lose your sigil stacks, for instance, and while it may not be the same as dying, I can see why they would set it up like that. You would never die in a group in that easy instance. It’s hard enough to die solo.

If it were intended, it’d be on the Achievement. Thanks though.

My guildies and I got this achievement no problem. Of course, none of us got downed…

The problem is that A.net uses the term “dying” to mean “downed” and NOT “defeated.” By their own internal (I guess) terminology there is no conflict and the tooltip is precisely correct. The problem is that that terminology is not how reasonable player would interpret it, so it comes across as very poor communication (using the term “dying” in the first place is a pretty poor decision since it has no official meaning in the game), but I imagine internally they don’t see it as ambiguous at all. Which is certainly frustrating if you don’t read a guide or post etc. beforehand.

If you don’t need armor repaired you didn’t “die.” If I get “downed” in combat and rally I take no armor damage. You can only take armor damage if you “die.” Therefore the achievement wording is at least misleading. I think it should state “downed” if it actually means it.

So either change the wording to reflect the true goal of the achievement or fix the bug, which I reported after not getting credit when I didn’t “die.” I rallied from being “downed.” So in game terms I was successful according to the wording of the Playhouse Perfectionist achievement.

Another example of this is in WvW. You don’t get WXP or XP unless you actually “kill” the player. While he/she is downed you get nothing. So they haven’t died.

I don’t see why it’s such a big deal. Just spend 10 minutes to re-do it, and don’t down. It’s not the first time Anet’s tooltip has been wrong, and it wont be the last.
