Guild Wars 2

(I posted this in the Bazaar area too; so if this is considered a double post it can be deleted)

I know one of the biggest problems for people and temporary content was not being able to get the achievements in the limited time you were given (If they were luck based or skill based)

Now it seems, if you go into the historical tab in the achievements it only shows the achievements that you unlocked and not the ones you missed; I really hope this is intended because this has put my mind at rest A LOT. (Unless I have missed something)

It means I can go for the achievements and get the ones I find possible without having the ones I failed to get (as such with the Sky Pirate Dungeon Achievements) hanging over my head forever.

Some achievements wont show up as COMPLETED if you didn’t finish all the tiers; it will show the completion for the highest tier you reached (If for example; you only ate 10 candies instead of the full 250)

But it does remove any achievements you didn’t complete which for completionists with OCD like myself; this is a god send – I know people will call me out in this next comment but it means I can enjoy the content I want to without being forced into others (Crab Toss for me, as an example).

This is EXACTLY the kind of fix I wanted for achievements and the feeling of being pressured in regard to achievements.

Thanks!

Interesting. On one hand this might be good for OCD people like you and me, but could easily blow up in Anets face on other.

I personally think removing the ones that can no longer be gotten help to clean up the interface, but that’s just my thoughts.

I honestly can’t see who wouldn’t like this change – but I’ve been wrong before.

I hope it’s a permanent addition and ANet doesn’t remove this way of doing future living story achievements.

Hahaha. It’s as if Anet is the worlds worst bomb-smith and every patch they are trying to make something not explode in their face. I get the image of some generic dev whittling away at something and holding it carefully only to have it blow up Daffy Duck style leaving their face black and their mouth on the back of their head.

Good, no one needs to be reminded three years from now that they didn’t do the last Flame & Frost check box.

Makes me wonder if we are going to be getting all new achievements for recurring events like Halloween or SAB
