Colin Johanson on how arenanet measures success.
(Please no gear treadmills, Colin!)
I am two points away from the Hint Completion title. Is there any way to find out which hints I need to get and how to get them? I really don’t understand this achievement, but I want it because it’s so close it’s bugging me!
I’m also scared about this comment on the wiki:
>When a hint pops up, you must close the hint window before it goes away on its own to get credit for this achievement.
Does this mean if I accidentally let a window go away on its own, then there is no way for me ever to get the achievement?
Also, I have eight level 80’s so shouldn’t that mean the hints for all professions have already appeared?
Yes, I believe you have to click on the actual “hint” icon (to the right iirc) and it will show you there. I have no clue if that wiki comment is true, I doubt it somehow.
When I click the little hint button it shows me the hints by category. I have a little check next to every hint and I counted them up. They match the ones in the wiki here exactly: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Hints I have the same number of hints listed in each category as shown there yet it says 81/83 hints completed.
I don’t know what else to try.
Not sure, just checked again, mine says 85% next to pvp – the last (82/83) I personally need is the trebuchet part.
So just to check, when I go to the screen with the help icon (from the menu at top left) if I see a check then it should have given me credit for that one?
First you see the categories, there is either a checkmark, meaning all parts in this category have been done – or a percentage number – meaning some parts are still missing. Clicking on the category breaks it down to the part – again you see a checkmark for the ones done.
Can you provide a screenshot of what it looks like for you? I would say if all are checked off but you don’t have the achievement then you might want to open a ticket or bug report (?).
Trying out the screenshot. As you can see (if the pic goes through) everything is checked off, but I am missing two achievements somehow.
Bug it, doesn’t make sense.
Thank you Rouven for all your help, submitted.
