Guild Wars 2

I’ve seen what looks like credit given (achievement points awarded for beta weekend) while playing the beta with beta characters. If I log in with non-beta ele and look there is no credit awarded when looking at the progression. I’m not really surprised since it was with a beta-character, but I also cannot find a way to get non-betas to the new map. Either I have been dealing with a bug, or it may be as you suspect and are for relabeling achievements and credit later. Not sure.

The achievements were just away for them to continue testing the mastery progression. There wasn’t enough points by the map alone to get higher in the progression chains or to have people test more of it.

Note: It might have been wiser to make the achieves worth 0 points each, but hey, at least we can continue to test the masteries…

So I fully get that acheivements and items do not carry over from your beta characters onto your main account, but that brings forth this question. I noticed on my regular characters that there are achievements for beta weekends that can be seen. Now, I would like to know what the purpose of these acheivements are if they can only be gotten on the beta accounts, or will these be relabeled into maguuma acheivements in the future?

The purpose is to guide people to test out the events in Verdant Brink. By the time you’ve done both daytime meta event chains, you’ll have completed all of those achievements. Those achievements award mastery points which help players further test the masteries.

EDIT:

It’s seems like there a subset of players that absolutely need Anet to spell out everything to them to the most specific and minute detail. You have the same type of people that are here as in another where they’re arguing that despite what the HoT website is saying about us getting 4 maps, we’ll likely only be getting one at release with the others to be rolled out in future updates.

You know what… I’ll play along. Anet hasn’t stated how many story episodes we’ll be getting with the expansion. Actually, they haven’t really talked about it all that much at all. Since they weren’t as specific as everyone on here prefers, I say that we’re only getting the initial story instance that we saw in the beta and they’ll roll out the rest of the story in biweekly installments. You can’t prove me definitively prove me wrong just as I cannot definitively prove myself correct. Whether or not there being a lot of evidence to suggest that we’ll get more than one doesn’t matter because Anet hasn’t been specific enough. /sarcasm

Are the beta achievements for keeps?
any progress made on beta is lost but just curious if u get to keep the 5 ap.

Can an Anet member respond to this please?

+1 to this, I would really like to know too. It looks like it isn’t, but it would be nice to have an official response.

Another interested player. Will they be merged into our main account’s AP after Beta testing for HoT concludes or some other thingy?

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/New-Beta-Achievements-under-General

there’s a discussion there. One person said he asked a dev in game and was told no.

Nothing from beta will carry over. I think the beta achivements are just so they can test the new achivement system (achivement has a list of things to do now)

Could we please get some official answer from developers please? Because I really dont see a logic in it. Why would you give us mastery points through achievements? When you could simply add those to every player from the start OR when you wanna do it through achievements, those achievements should add ONLY those mastery points but not 1 AP but 0 AP to avoid any misunderstandings. So please i would really like to know: will we get those achievements after beta ends or not? Thank you for answer.

This thing really doesn’t bother me too much, i just thought it was weird that the things were called Beta Acheivements and were visible all around, hence I was looking to see if this was just a placeholder or something, as it seems like everyone will have this uncompleted beta achievement tab in their hero menu if it stays there. I can see it being used as a test for mastery points through achievement like some other members mentioned in the thread, so I can understand the logic. Mostly, I’m just curious why they made the achievements have points if the things were going to be called Beta Achievements.
