Guild Wars 2

More achievements based on difficulty, like “Light Up the Darkness” but not as cheap, with better rewards.

And less achievements based on RNG like “Invasion Canceler” or time specific achievements like the fireworks show during Dragon Bash/“The Big Boom in the Big City”. (if the only reason people are viewing a piece of content is because of an achievement or reward, is it really good content?)

I totally share your opinion when it comes to the difficulty of the achievements. But i think the “walk there and watch this” achievements arn’t really the problem. I’ve more problems with the "walk there and do this, then walk there and oh what a surprise: do that again and again, and again and again and again, which are totally skillfree and only time consuming.

I agree that we need more skill-based achievements like “Light Up the Darkness”

I don’t mind time specific achievements like the fireworks show.

I definitely dislike RNG achievements like “Invasion Canceller”. I’ve been stuck at 12/13 and I might not even get the chance to complete this if Iron Marches doesn’t happen to come up while I’m playing.

I like the idea of tough semi skill based or heavy teamwork achievements so long as they are well thought out and FULLY tested! And here to stay maybe give them tiers of rewards too so all can take part in them. I did Liadri 8 orbs and beat her a few times but not even for a second did that fight ever feel thrilling to me or all that great, there was noting about her I was invested in other then it just being a name on my list to check off…
Maybe they could try to introduce things like this in the fractles or Wvw feats a server could aspire to as a whole for that week! between a horrid daily system in this game and getting living story thrown at us till we are worn out from spamming the F key, well fights like this or events would be a breath of fresh air to the game. imo that is C:
