Guild Wars 2

The last two achievements I have yet to complete (Shrubsplosives and Rock Dodger) are annoying enough. I would deal with it, if not for the fact that I have to complete the entire fight just to try again. It’s not hard, but it does waste my time. These achievements, of the “misstep-and-fail” kind, need better retryability (retriability? retriablebility?), in my opinion.

Um…you can. Click on the challenge emote.

I am sorry for the bad wording in the title (45 char limit). I mean to restart the fight while it’s still in progress. If I spectacularly fail the achievements in the first phase, I don’t really want to complete the whole fight again and again.

Just came from trying to do those two same achievments. Was frustrated and wanted to check the feedback on the foruns.
The challenge mote is only available when the fight is over. It makes it very time consuming if we misstep something in the begining of the fight.
Why cant the challenge mote be available when we die? It would restart the fight, but at least it wouldnt be so time consuming.

This, and the enormous grind and RNG in Silverwastes turned a beautiful game that i adored for 2 years into something very frustrating and painful.

I wonder if frustrated players are a good business model…

It’s a 5-min fight at most.

It wasn’t for me. Took much longer than 5 minutes.

Ayrilana.1396:

It is, but the downside it that every try, failed or not, will take 5 mins. That’s frustrating enough for me, and I normally spend hours of time on games. I don’t even want to see the rage of those who only play for 1 hour.

It takes away from the achievement if you can simply restart it the second you mess up. I understand your frustration but it comes dangerously close to just giving it away if you can simply reset the fight the instant you fail the achievement.

Takes what away?

Takes what away?

The potential to waste my nerve cells, apparently.

The achievement is a challenge. Having to carry the fight through after I fail it is not challenging, but irritating. Ergo: I should be able to restart it to get back to the “challenge” thing immediately.
