Q:

I recently played the living story season 2 with a few of my characters and I realised that I cant do achievement with my alts if I didnt finish the story first. Is it the same with HOT story achievements? I want to drag several of my chars through the story, do I need to finish the parts with all my characters first like in LS Season 2 in order to work on achievements?
Or can I for example finish the story with one of my characters and then work on achievements with my next characters?

For some of the achievements, yes you do have to run it again with the same character. Some though, can be done on the first run.

Ah ok they changed it then? So basically only the achievements that require a different choice cant be done on first run?

So I can basically run for achievements with my alts when I drag them through the story the first time?

If they haven’t recently changed this, then you can’t get any achievements until a second playthrough with all characters.

I wish they would change this, since is seems dumb that I can’t work on achievements with a character that’s never done the content before.

Not exactly. I had to do the first story instance twice after the first run for each choice. Same for the final instance when you select who goes in with you and the instance before when you choose who to rescue.

For LS2 yes, you have run it a second time to get achievements, but for HoT, not all achievements are like that. I can think of three that don’t (did them on first playthrough on an alt), the turret one in first HoT mission, the avoid getting hit by tendrils in second(? maybe third?) mission (this one I did on mains first playthrough), and the land in circle in that same mission. Then there are those that do require you to replay it (like the blacksmiths and pages on in that second/third mission) on the same toon.
