Guild Wars 2

I wish only one: that main designer of this **** would do this Living Story episode and all related achievements every day for 1 year.
Just came to work and start doing this. And continue doing his ordinary job only after complete story and all achievements.
Maybe this will learn him to NOT create stuff like this.

But the story was pretty easy and archievments are meant to be hard.

The only problem is that you can`t just restart after a failure.

If my memory serves right Seeds of Truth had the awesome MGS style mission.

Could you elaborate your problem? I know the archievment with Caithe and the Centaure are pretty hard, the rest is medicore, as far as I know.

The No Refuge achievements hard as crazy **** - only true nolifers able to complete it.
Last boss in the challenging mode - incredible hard. At ~30% he spawn 3 golems, incredible number of sand pools and there 3 wind walls at the same time!
Also, this sand pools that casted right under you without any noticeable animation - making nearly impossible completing another achievement.
And dialogs. Dialogs and movies. Incredible long, annoying and UNSKIPPABLE!
Meeting the Asura achievements was really easy in comparison with that. Also, challenging mode - I still didn’t get where there was a challenge. And if I’d failed something - I was able to understand what I did wrong and what I need to improve.
But not in the No Refuge: this is all about luck only. Will he cast sand pool under you or near. Will you hit up to 6 times of wind wall or not even once (this happens with me once and without evades sure!)

I wish, creator of this stuff will suffer from all of this every day for 1 year. And this time that he’ll spent on completing - wouldn’t be paid for him.

If that’s the case, then you can feel confidently superior in yourself, for not being able to.

I can understand people get frustrated, but is the name calling really necessary?

So his problem is that he can`t skip (which has been said dozens of times already) and that ONE archievment is too hard.

Basicly the whole premise of the thread is wrong and should be closed, since he was talking about the whole LS + Archievments and not one in particular.

Bottom line. We are aware that this a problem and it has allready been noted. Calm down and take on the dozen other archievments. If you don`t have OCD you should be fine.

So the achievement designed to be hard was…..hard?
Apparently more than you could handle causing you to resort to name calling.
Considering people managed to successfully complete that achievement ON release day it wasn’t too hard.

The presence of a challenge mote would have been nice, but I had to go through the thing 12 times fully before I got it so bit late now.

Hard - doesn’t mean "it all based on random". The 1st of achievemnt - Meeting the Asura - really hard (if don’t remember about stupidly long dialogs). But Dodgy crowd - fully based on random, since animation of main centaur are completely broken and casting of sand pool DO NOT have any special animation.

This is the name calling part, You are literally insulting everyone who got the achievement.

To the best of my knowledge/experience the sand pools only appear directly below the centaur without an animation and appear at the location each earth ele dies. Even if they were randomly spawning on top of you it gives you time to move before the first damage pulse. Personally I found the wind walls to be the far more dangerous issue.

Meeting the Asura I would have to disagree on its difficulty, it is a mechanically and reflexively simple challenge, once you know what to do you can execute it with nearly no chance of messing it up. The centaur achievement requires paying attention constantly and has changing battlefield elements allowing for greater risk and requiring greater reflexive capacity.

Your knowledge are very poor then. he cast sand pools everywhere. And most of the time - directly under you, so even constantly moving doesn’t helps you: you will got 1st hit of sand pool before it even appears.
Sure, there is the solution: do it duo. While "Caithe" are hiding and running from everything, your friend killing stuff with his usual character (not with badly designed salad).
And "nolifers" was about them, who was able do it solo, that means crazy amount of attempts - and who have so many free time?
And this problem exist more than 2 months! https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/lwd/Dodgy-Crowd-How-to-not-make-an-achievement/
And sure noone cares to fix this.
Anet fairly failed with this Living Story part, no doubt.

I completed it solo… all of the LS achievements solo actually generally on the release day. (This one took me slightly longer). That party method is tantamount to cheating, but since we’re going to disagree on anything I’m going to disengage.

i had alot of fun (and anger) with these acheivments they were VERY hard but not punishing, the only thing i want to change is the unskippable cutscenes but a dev already told me they are working on it (its harder than you think)

No, that is exactly your problem.
You are talking about ONE archievment and the acompanied problem of it having an unskippable story, which makes it a drag to try again, only.
You do not talk about a whole season, episode or any other archievment.
You even said that you thought the other archievments were very easy and that you did not understand where the problem was.

You are only talking about one thing, you can`t beat, which has been betaen by others. Even solo.
Yes, nobody argues with you that it is hard.
Everyone agrees with you that the unskippable parts are a bane for archievment hunters and are especialy annoying for these kittenes.

It has been said dozens of time before though and instead of accepting that that happened you rage against everyone who tells you otherwise.

Bottom line:
- Hard archievment is hard. However it is not unbeatable, since there are several who did it.
- Unskippeable parts annoying. It has been noted by the devs, however damanding things to be reworked completly, as they have things higher up on the list that need attention, instead of catering to a minor archievment is just douchy behaviour.
Seriously, they do not have the manpower to cater to everyone whim, so calm down and do other stuff. It`s not like your life depends on this archievment.
Sad truth is, that it might never be fixed. So, yeah. You can rage all day long. Doesn`t change the fact that there only limited hours in a day, in a month and year. These are not dedicated to every whim in the big game called GW2.
It`s on the list, but not a priority. At this point it should be HoT, if you would have followed the news.

- Calling people who said that they were able to do what you couldn`t (for whatever reason, luck, skill, etc…) no lifers or anything is an offense. Nothing more.

- Calling this part of the LS a failure? Ehm, you are aware that there is much more to the Part than just the archievment. First of is the story and content delivery, then there is the archievment. The Story works and the fight works as well. So just mechanicly speaking, it`s okay. You are raging about how it is not perfect and yeah. These things can happen. How many projects did you present in your schooltime, which did not get an A+ (or your equivalent), because you didn`t had the time to get it ready?

Hard achievement - means you can do i with your hands and with your skill
Dodgy crowd - not a hard achievement, this is RANDOM achievement.

And yes, if you are able to make 20-30 or even more attempts on ONE achievement - you are nolifer and this is NO offense, but clear fact.

Or someone just isn`t good at the archievment but is determined to get it anyway.
He could have the time, because he decided to spend it on that.
He can also try it on 30 different days.
He can also try it over months, since it isn`t going away.
Nothing you say makes your definition of a “nolifer” any less of an offense, but rather makes you sounds you limited in your imagination.

If it is hard and takes more time, subsequently these people are nolifers.
Which is quite the offense. there are several reasons these people could have gotten that archievment.
It ranges from luck, over skill to patience. All things you don`t seem to have or willing to muster up.

You complain about exactly one archievment, which is really hard combined with an annoying no-skip to easy retry function.
The one who needs a life is clearly you in that case, since you really seem to obsess with this archievment and try to shove down your opinion down everyones throat, even though your opinion has been noted and accepted.

You don`t make it better by shouting louder and demand attention. You had it, you got, we know what you wish for. Now get in line with all other rational beings and understand that we know of your problem and repeating it won`t make it go away.

Did you read previous posters? What a 30 days you are talking about, not_a_troll?
