[SUGGESTION]: Make the New Content pointer point to Diving Goggles that have not been registered yet.

The problem with the Dive Master achievement comes when a particular jump doesn’t get counted for some reason, and the player hasn’t kept perfect track of his progress. When this happens, it becomes impossible to tell which jumps have been completed and which haven’t, because a jump that didn’t register once may not register multiple times, while one that has already registered will never register again.

Customer Support has already stated they will offer no help whatsoever in determining which jumps are still missing from the achievement, even though this is obviously being tracked in the player data somewhere,; else, there couldn’t be an achievement to begin with. Therefore, put part of your NPE to good use, and add unregistered Diving Goggles to the new content pointer discovery list once the player is of the proper level. This will void a lot of frustration being felt by players who have nearly finished this achievement, but find themselves stuck because one or two of their dives didn’t count. If a jump fails to be counted, then the pointer should still point to those goggles.

I understand that half of the Dive Master achievement is hunting down the goggles in the first place. Anyone that is serious about filling this out is already going to resort to a guide or the wiki to track down their locations, so that aspect is no longer really valid. Throw us a bone here

Perhaps, this suggestion would be better served in a sub-forum other than ‘Bugs’.

Good luck.

Can’t say that I expect someone that can change the code is going to look in any of the other forums, particularly now that we have the forum reps. Guess I’ll have to cross my fingers twice.

Couldn’t agree more with the OP. I’m currently missing one dive from this acheivement. I’ve hit every one of them on the dulfy list at least twice and I can’t figure out which one is not registering.

At least a tracker with names/locations rather than just a counter. Please?

I’m not really keen on this idea. But, if people want it, I wouldn’t object.

Gone to Reddit.

I’d prefer it if they ticked off as you found them and were invisible until that point. Should satisfy both camps since those who have have done them could cross ref against Dulfy for the missing one(s) and those of us who like exploring wont get spoilers.

In the same way that Meta Achievements list the requirements of the Achie, the diving goggle locations could be listed on the description tab of the goggle achie, only after they are counted by the achievement system. That keeps the locations “hidden,” but would also allow players to see what they have registered. At least, I think that’s what Randulf is suggesting.

I heard diving googles had map icons now.

I haven’t seen that.

But it’ll be nice if they got a map icon once you’ve done them, so you can check them without having to do them.

The data is already stored on the account so each jump counts separately for the Dive Master title, so all that would be needed is checking it.

A hearty thank you to the devs for implementing a solution to this problem I can finally finish off my dives and keep my sanity.

Except for the bugged ones.

I’ve done the one by the pirates in Bloodtide coast many times, and it’s not showing as done.

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

Do the numbers shown in-game match the numbers shown on the wiki page ?

If not, are there people working on the wiki page to make them match ?

Those numbers were entered by players. Only a relatively new account can verify their accuracy :/
