Guild Wars 2

I just wanted to say that I noticed I have barely touched the achievements for living story and in some cases for Dry Top, and I wanted to stop and say that I hope no developer or manager takes that to mean that the achievements were wasted or a bad idea. To the contrary, I want to say thanks for creating so many of them in a format that I can complete anytime. It would be nice if we could unlock them the first time through, but in general, it’s pretty fantastic to know that if I need to get some points, I can round up a posse and blaze through the living story at any time.

I love this direction, I hope it continues and I just wanted to share my own opinion of that. I’d hate if it turned out that statistics showed more people were like me and it was decided that adding achievements for living story completion was a flop. Just my two cents.

I enjoy being able to redo the content on multiple characters. It is allowing me to see the content at my own pace.

Yes my only complaint is that I think I should be able to get them first time through, I think the reason is they want us to focus on the story the first time but I feel like that choice should be mine.

The most suggested compromise is to unlock them account wide once completing the story itself, so you don’t have to do an entire extra run through on each alt you want to use for achievements. I’d go with that.

Some of the achievements are mutually exclusive and thus require extra runs anyway (“Kill all the trap monsters” vs “Don’t trip any traps,” for example.)

+1 Agree with the OP on all accounts, a first time through would have been nice; but I’m now saving them for a rainy day, or to have a bit of a goal to replay them with friends

One thing that annoys me, is all the dialogue you have to get through, Like the world summit.

those dodging achieves are going to take me quite a few tries, but the long intro, rather just getting to restart when the battle starts.
It’s really off putting, and just makes it take longer for the sake of taking longer. I probably won’t try them too often for this reason.

Same here, in regards to leaving the achievements to the future. With the pressure off on getting them done, I turned my attention to other things (like getting ambrite recipes and checking personal story rewards)

They will soon remove most achievements as those you don’t achieve by simply progressing through the game have been considered to confusing and open-ended for players to handle.
