Guild Wars 2

I’ve seen this topic pop up all over the web in different forums concerning the game and it is on the Wiki as well. The one thing everyone can agree on is they have no idea if it is a bug or intentional and Anet has yet to address it.

The problem for those unaware is that the counter resets anytime you log out or zone, not just upon death. This means unless you get all 100K if one zone in one block of playtime, you don’t get the monthly.

If it is a bug, it needs to be addressed. It stands in the way of most players not getting their monthly. Crafting shouldn’t be the “practical” way to do this. Especially when the tooltip says “death” and not any of the other instances when it resets.

If this is intentional, then that needs to be reevaluated. Wanting players to play in such a long block of time to hit that is unhealthy. It is irresponsible for a company to even promote such a thing. Moderation in everything.

I’d like to see this addressed as this is the last monthly achievement I need. I was as high as 57K and lost it when I zoned to Metrica for a class quest. That is extremely frustrating.

When you’re at level 80, getting a mere 16 levels in a crafting profession will get you monthly survivor. That’s not even enough levels to make refining materials stop being yellow.

Aside from that, running around in a zerg in straits will get you 100k xp pretty quickly from the events alone

not only that but completing a dungeon at lvl 80 reward 178k experience. so thats impossible to fail if you just do a dungeon once a month.

Not everyone wants to rush to 80 though. I’m in no rush. I am taking my time to explore the various zones and whatnot. And if I accomplish this without dying, I should obtain the monthly regarding of logging out or changing zones.

This explains why I’ve been 94k/100k for a week. I have absolutely gained more than 100k without dying but have changed zones. This is good to know.

I’m 100% sure its not intended. There is no point to prohibit waypoint travel, zone change and logging out in a Monthly achievement. Its a bug and it should be adressed because it’s known since the start of the game.

I agree. I am in no rush to get to 80. I’m enjoying all aspects of the game on a few different characters. As a result, I can’t get this achievement completed. Please fix it ASAP so we can get our monthlies. I might even suggest lowering the XP needed after fixing it so that lower level characters can do it. Right now 100k seems like a lot of XP because my highest level char is only 55.

I’ve got mine from the map above Lion Arch, forgot name, 25-35 if I remember correctly. Explored everything, from 0% to 100%, ended up around 70k/100k by the time I got 100%, then I just farmed DEs on the left side of the map.

I’m hoping it get fixed by next month though.. but I will probably be high enough to get that exp from a dungeon reward anyway.

I can not say I’ve had this problem what so ever. However.. Monthly rewards are kinda lame anyway. Regardless, Hopefully there is a fix for people who want it.

Completing the monthly isn’t even worth it. You get 8k xp, about 8 silver and 20 mystic coins. Sigh…..
