So now, every two weeks we have new contents. Good! I like it. It’s happening soon enough everytime and we can play it as we want.

However with the new achievement rewards, I feel like we don’t have enough time between releases to complete everything. Why, because it takes time and dedication to properly get all the achievements and therefore the points to progress. Some people can do it in two weeks. Some other not. Me, for instance, it takes time before I get immersed. I do the achievements only on week-ends and well, in two week-ends, I don’t always have the time to make all achievements.

So could you have a new release every 2 weeks, yes, but remove it only after 4 weeks, having an overlap between two stories for 2 weeks?

Thanks for considering this

I must admit I’m sharing that sentiment.
I do play a few hours in a row if I have the time, but I can’t nor do I want to keep that up all the time to get enough achievements to get my prize.
It creates a bit of stress over the time since I’m doing nothing but do LS story content before it goes away.
My mesmer is 40 now and I stopped doing my personal story at 26 or so as I’m not having enough time to do both.

I really don’t know how to better this, as I like the flow of new content really much.

Ya, I only get on at the weekends mostly ‘cause of work. But I try to get all the Living Story Achievements. So far I’ve managed to get them all before they go (in the 4 week window), now I find myself unable to complete the “Like Clockwork” achievement with the time left before the next update. You have to it over 8 separate days! (they should place the time restriction AFTER the achievement is completed) Really hope they stagger content so that each lasts a month and not just 2 weeks.

P.S.: Bright side: Maybe not completing this one achievement will free me from this need to “Catch them All”

Yes, please!! I can sometimes (rarely) get on during the week and can only get on about every other weekend and my sister is in the same boat. It would be great if they at least put the time till completion like they do for the daily and monthly so I know for sure whether I have a hope of completing it. As it is, I’m likely to be stuck at 13 or 14 out of 16 with this one.

I’ve felt this myself, as well as many other casual players who can’t enjoy the content and earn the limited-time-achievements/exclusive loot at their own pace. If interested I suggested some solutions to this issue in this thread- https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Revisiting-Past-Temporary-Content

BotFW achievements will not be removed tomorrow, so you can continue to earn them. They’ll expire at the end of CP.

Each month has a different team running the show. The way it seems to be going, they do an initial release which has the more long-term achievements in it, and then a mid-month release that seems to have more short-term achievements in it. The mid-month release has yet to actually remove the initial release achievements (unless previously noted).

CP is the mid-month release, so you have two more weeks before both release achievements go away.

If it worked that way I’d be totally fine with it.

In most cases the achievements are available more than two weeks. Every two weeks they add another step it seems. I know I’m still able to get kite fortunes and such and it’s been over two weeks now.

The other way to look at this is: if you don’t have the time to get all of the achievements. Perhaps you should be OK getting most but not all. Achievement collecting tends to lean towards people with more time to play. If you are really strapped for time to get the LS achievements done (hard to believe considering that they can all be completed in two days or so if you sit down and do them—I play 1-2hrs/day MAX and had every achievement done last week).

I mean isn’t the content the important part? Do you really need to do Sanctum Sprint 25 times? If you’ve done it let’s say 8 times, is that not satisfactory for you to have experienced it? If your entire goal is 100% achievement completion, then you either have the time or you don’t. Two weeks really is ample time to complete these if you play even semi regularly.

I won’t stop because I can’t stop.

It’s a medical condition, they say its terminal….

That is the main problem, stretching the time frame would
a: help us achieve more
b: give the teams more time to test their new content
c: more time to live bug fix stuff.
I’m all for a bit more time to complete stuff.

or a “time machine” where you could go and “redo” stuff.
or at least some vacation time , planned ahead so i know when i can go on a holliday and don’t miss anything ;-)

For some players it is also a complaint that it is too much, too overwhelming, which avoid them from starting or taking up their gw2 play.

I VEHEMENTLY disagree.

Two weeks? It’s not always about time. Sometimes it is about the instructions, which are almost never clear, sometimes it is about the severity of the events making them harder to complete (!) like this tiered garbage where you have five players trying to go against SIX veterans – and if you have less than 80s on your beleaguered team, you can have some pretty frustrated teammates VERY quickly after Tier 3.

BAH on the tiers and not allowing us all to be truly equal or just make another instance instead of the layering of tiers.

I know, too much work; but not all of us are 80s yet and we HATE switching to one just to do an achievement that should be able to be done by a level 1 or a level 80.

Not keeping all IT jobs here is a major reason IT is so bad HERE. 33y IT 10y IT Security

Or Anet can just keep the updates permanenet instead of removing them.
