Guild Wars 2

Seems to be a big issue with getting rewarded for achievements at the moment.

It seems that for all wing 3 achievements, you have to be alive. So if you die when killing Xera, you will not get the achievement for killing her, similar things when activating the challenge mote at KC, or dying when doing the 8-min Escort achievement.

Also today in Wing 1, we did an Eternal + Last Cannon achievement at the same time, we had someone who got the Eternal achievement fine, but Last cannon didn’t get rewarded despite leaving up East cannon for the whole fight.

If you are dead you should not get achievements. I hope this is intended and not a bug

Oh, if I die at 5% while doing an achievement, I should not be awarded? What stupid logic is this?

Yes, because you failed. If everyone dies at 5% the kill would not have been successful.

Im actually with Malediktus here. You should need to be alive in order for the achievement to happen.

so, you guys think you should achieve the achievement without achieving it?

is this the next level of the “i want rewards without doing what you get rewards for” thing?

I’m not talking about everyone dying at 5%, I’m talking about ONE person dying and not getting the achievement.

I do have every single achievement, but this sucks towards other players who try and get the achievement and could die at the last few percent of the boss and not get the reward which would suck tbh.

Best they work on not dying, then

Well, then they should make it CLEAR in the achievements about not getting defeated like they did with The Eternal title.

different ways people react to failing something:

most ppl get maybe a little angry then, and shout “dmned, i should’ve dodged that” or “nooooo, now i have to try again -.-” – mostly not even being seriously angry. or they go to the forums “someone got advice how to do that achievement?” or if its a really impossible achievement compared to others “is the achievement too hard in general?”

others start flaming “pff, noob druid heal better” or they go to the forums “this sucks, no logic, stupid”

sorry, but i definitely prefer the first ones and i dont think there is any reason to bother with the second ones.

I think the main issue is that ANet changed how the achievement works (mainly on just Wing 3).

How come it’s not the same for other achievements?

Why did they change how it works?

Is it intended?

I don’t need the achievement, but when carrying non-full raiders in a group, they should at least get the achievement like most of us did being alive or not. I’d like to be able to say “No worries, you’ll still get the achievement”, rather than let’s all wipe because X person died at 1%; of course, not counting for Eternal.
