Guild Wars 2

Where to start? Okay, how about that I LOVE this game and how it’s content actually feels like a living, changing game world from month to month. It’s almost like a book with a new chapter each month to experience…. But, every chapter seems to have spoilers directly on the title page of said chapter.

Achievements are spoilers that some people do not want. Those that actually like the secrets of what’s going to happen next hidden away until it happens are having it kind of ruined by achievements.

Take for how “Secrets of Southsun” wasn’t so secret when the first section released with small parts, yet everything was known about Canatch, his robot, and even the Crazy Queen Karka. All this weeks before each of them actually hammed.

We have the same issue with the current Dragon’s Bash in that we well already know that something bad is going to happen during the effigy burning. That bad something is going to leave players to a trek across Tyria to investigate the incident, another fun fact we know thanks to the achievements.

Now back in October and November, each of those events were preset to happen as part of the monthly achievements and even had event achievement sets. Both of them were also hidden behind a series of “???” until the event actually happened. That’s what made it so magical and awe-inspiring when the unexpected happened.

Am I alone in wanting the “??” back for achievements not yet achievable until such time as the event triggers live on the game?
