Guild Wars 2

Could we get timers on the Living Story Achievement categories similar to Daily and Monthly categories? There has been confusion about how long these categories will stick around. Sometimes they stick around 2 weeks, sometimes 4 weeks. I think it would be helpful for an in-game indicator that will definitively tell players how long they have to finish a meta achievement.

I would hope, since it’s already a feature that exists elsewhere, it would not take much effort to apply this to the Living Story categories.

I think this is an excellent idea. After what happened with the TA LS, this would help prevent a repeat and would be the most efficient way of communicating how long an LS is lasting for.

For eg, I have to tab out and search for the end dates for Blood and Madness and WVW atm which I know have been published elsewhere

This is a fantastic idea.

+1 for this idea. I was under the impression the achievements for TA would be available month long like everything else since they began the 2 weeks bit. I had to go out of town for a week and a half so only had the first two days to do TA’s new path before Halloween’s patch. I came back the day of Halloween’s patch to find out that I couldn’t get the achievements any more.

Honestly, I don’t care much for that backpack or the achievement points but I still feel lied to.

Though I would prefer the achievements always being available should the activities be available – and for the chance to do them if the activities (e.g., Labyrinthine Cliffs) return. Like what happened with SAB world 1 achievements, but there’d be no “historical” just “Living Story.”

P.S., Dear ArenaNet, what happened to this:

I said this in another thread, but I’ll just say it again here…

The achievement should stick around, so when you reach level 75 you should be able to munch on it and get the achievement point. I don’t foresee Owain giving up on making omelettes.

I’m currently still working on my ability to see the future, but know that if other devs intend to change those things and break the achievement, I will fight tooth and nail for it to not be touched.

Ever since the historical achievement category, we can no longer obtain old LS achievements even if we can do the activities.

I guess Robert fighting tooth and nail for it didn’t work out. Would hate to see the dentist bill for that…

Robert no longer works for Arena Net… so, it didn’t work out well.
