Same problem with me, I just checked all the locations a second time using Dulfy’s maps. Still can’t find the ones I’m missing (I’m stuck at 22/24). Keeps telling me I’ve already collected them. On a side note I tried using an alt to collect the last 2 but it seems to be account-wide

^ Same problem here. I’ve visited 5 obelisks before that 2nd patch, then I went and followed that guide to each one, numerically. Then I still ended up with 23/24. I know for a fact that I visited each one, so its pointless to try and backtrack.

It seems to be the same or similar problem to when people were doing those balloon towers back during the Queens Jubilee events (2 towers per map/15 maps/30 towers).

A list of locations visited/not visited would be a real help with these.

/Went to double check the first 5 I had prior to the patch, Kessex Hills (4) + Timberline Falls (top obelisk) — still stuck at 23/24.

Yes I’m a vet, yes I’m salty. Problem?

I ended up with 23/24 too and had to go back through them all, and eventually found that the one in Sparkfly at Oceans gullet didn’t count the first time I visited it. I know that I got it the first time around. After getting it again, the counter finally gave me the 24/24.

Bump. Same issue here. There may be a correlation with switching characters. I got the very first node in Caldeon Forest (south one) on a new 80 and when I realized I’d have to run all over, I switched to a character with map completion. Went to ALL 24 nodes a second and third time and all told me I got them already. Stuck at 23/24.

The question was answered above, Dulfy forgot one circle on her Maelstrom map.

There is a screenshot on the right side of it which shows the location, from th perspective of the shard.

Even though it was the one forgotten, I managed to find out and get it in the process with the rest of the obelisks, yet still finished with only 23/24.

Only things I can think that happened was one of the first 5 I had prior to the patch bugged out and was no longer counted, yet I revisited all 5 again, and unable to transcribe a 2nd time.

It’s hard to believe that one of the remaining 19 bugged out somehow.

I’m sure that’s the point, you have not explored, in Gendarran Fields.

I remember getting all 4 from there too. I made sure to look at each map before or during each search. All the maps are pretty fresh in my mind from last night.

I think I have the same issue, did all 24 of them, but my quest counter is at 23/24. I went over them twice. One of the shards was done on an alt.

Nope, definitely got that one as well. I counted as I went. I went to all 24 but only 23 have counted towards the achievement.

I just kind of laugh at how quickly you’ll jump to it being a ‘bug’ instead of you just clearly missing it.

The Maelstorm one is the one you missed.

I wish I had only missed it, but I didn’t. Got all obelisks in the order as listed and ended up finding the one missed at Mt. Maelstrom before continuing and getting to 23/24.

Solutions are needed more than assumptions.

Same problem am at 23 of 24 checking them off as i went – swam up to the last one needed (while following guide, totally new location) reached the last one cleared it and on access – got message that it had been done. Was the last one needed and had 100% not done it before as was all done in one sitting following guide. Same as earlier poster – switched char when realised mapcompletion was an issue.
Have tried alts etc and mapped all of them twice but no dice.

It’s not a bug. The system is working as intended. What a lot of people don’t tend to realize is that capping obelisks functions in the same way as capping skill points does. If a mob strikes you in the process capping is interrupted. Word of advice kill all mobs before capping and double check once you have capped. Your only able to cap an obelisk once, so it’s not to much trouble to double check.

Just so you know, I’m keeping my eye on this thread. Internally, we’ve been completely unable to reproduce this issue. Having said that, it can be difficult, if not impossible, to account for all the variables with a Live game. Things to check would be whether you accidentally deleted the transcriber, or if you’re trying to complete the achievement on a character that doesn’t have the transcriber in their inventory? Just because we aren’t seeing it in our own testing, doesn’t mean it’s not happening.

I can’t claim infallibility here, so I’m taking claims about this being a bug with a very open mind. If you all think of anything else, even small details about what you may have done or seen when transcribing, please post it here. Thanks!

If you took damage during the channeling, it didn’t cancel it out, but also didn’t give credit. I know it did this for one of them early on for me, so you may want to attempt multiple attempts on all of them to be on the safe side. Also, when doing achievements with this sort of criteria, make sure you monitor the progress to prevent these measures from occurring.

As stated above – for me the exact procedure was –
Guardian capped all in kessex, mapped to gendarren, fight on first obelisk was difficult so decided “hey, my ranger has map completion and a pet, that’ll be easier” switched to my ranger, mapped to gendarren (exact same waypoint – was following a guide step by step) cleared obelisk and realised “crap, no transcriber” mapped to keesex, got transcriber. Mapped back to gendarren (same waypoint) continued following guide step by step. On the last obelisk in maelstrom (the fourth and final by the cages) killed the foes, swam to the obelisk (guide – first time seeing it) and it told me – already done, learned all i could. I had the achieve on screen and was checking the percentage changed each capping to be sure. Switched to guardian and still showed as capped. Switched server by guesting (just in case) but still showed as having been done.
Very weird.
EDIT: One other peculiarity – the achieve is 100%, the percentage went up by 4% for each one but the final one the percentage shows 95%

Could it has anything to do with the new build that came out a cpl hours after the new living story went live?

For example I collected a transcribe before the new build and its telling me Ive learned all I can but maybe didn’t count towards the achievement.

Ive been to every node now 2 times all 24 cleared all krait before transcribing still at 23/24.

Just to make sure, have those doing the internal testing for reproduction also attempted to reproduce it via the reported commonality by those affected of being interrupted by an enemy while translating the obelisk (thus not finishing the translation), killing the enemy, and then returning to and translating the obelisk again to see if it advances the achievement properly?

edit
As well as the alternate form of that test as acidicore mentioned above me of allowing the transcription to complete after being placed in combat during the transcription, instead of canceling it and getting out of combat and then completing the transcription.

Stuck at 23/24 myself. I made certain to visit all 24 sites and transcribe all 24 shards. Some kitten nicely dragged an enemy into me while I was transcribing one and I’m pretty sure that’s the one that didn’t count.

I don’t have time tonight to revisit every site all over again but I will just to prove I have transcribed them all and the achieve is glitched.

I am also at 23/24. I used Dulfy’s updated guide to make sure I am hitting all 24 spots. I sadly didn’t check my progress until I was almost all the way through, I was at 19/24 when I should have been at 20/24. So I repeated them all again and every one gave me the message that I had already channeled.

FOR THOSE DOING DULFY GUIDE

One of the post was confusing, I made the same mistake.

In mount malestorm there are FOUR. The way dulfy originally (she has since changed the wording) it made it sound like there were 3. So use the map and make sure you get all four.

Secondly in timberline falls, there are TWO. One at the TOP and one at the BOTTOM of the krait structure.

one of my friends got this 23/24 bug. He has double checked 3 times with different guides.

The thing that seems common with ppl who has the bug is that they did a few obelisk before one of the hotfixes and then after that.

So my guess is if the hotfix got in between while you were doing it, your progress might get broken.

This is also happening to me, I suspect its because I had some transcribes prior to the 2nd build not get credited properly. I did the entire thing TWICE a single character, am not getting credit for any ‘new nodes’ and have NOT deleted the transcriber.

Wishing I could get credit and get my meta finished

I would fall in this category. I did a few shortly after the build went live and the rest today. All are now inactive for me so I can’t go back to re-do them.

Internally, we’ve been completely unable to reproduce this issue.

But how do you track internally which ones were successful i.e. do you have a few lines of code that tests if it can be transcribed again (meaning the 1st try was unsuccessful) and if so does each ‘node’ have a unique variable (I’m assuming so because the achieve couldn’t be complete without all). If so, you could easily add it to the gui without giving away the locations (unless successful). Would be easier than trying to replicate.

I just finish this today.

I had done Caledon, Kessex, Gendarran, and Mount Maelstrom prior to an update that was early today (the 30th). I had done Timberline Falls, Sparkfly Fen, and Bloodtide Coast today. That’s the order I did the zones in as well. I visited 24 total, but I’m now at 23/24.

Based on this thread and my own experience, whatever’s causing the problem, it was caused by the update, and doing some prior and some after it.

I did all 24 Obelisks on one character. Friends told me that it appears to become bugged if you get disrupted while channeling an obelisk. It won’t count towards the title. I’m also at 23/24, I think the same thing happened a few times.

Just got through all 24 obelisks – didn’t start this til today and after the last patch, also sitting on 23/24. Killed every vet krait and it’s side-kick and any close to the obelisk before channeling (I read there was a possible bug on dulfy). Also kept a tally of the obelisks visited – I really hate back tracking lol

Just curious – did anyone have dc issues in Bloodtide Coast? I did dc at the Castavall Waypoint area obelisk once earlier today and again just before, plus a dc at the sorrowful wp when I went back for a 2nd look in that map.

Did the entire run on 1 lvl 80 toon and yep definitely have the transcriber in inventory

A dev also posted here?
Seriously, if you too have used dulfy to track down the obelisks you might have missed the 4th obelisk in Mount Maelstrom because it’s not shown on the map, but rather written just below it and it’s west of the waypoint you usually use to go to Golem Mark 2.
Hope this solves your issues.
Or maybe you have gone for the next obelisk before completing the channelling, in that case you can only do them all again until you find the one you have missed.

On a side note, i also have been interrupted while channelling. In that case just kill the mob and rechannel.
