Guild Wars 2

The description of the achievements say: “Obtain x rank points.”, but they only your personal score counts towards them. The rank points you get due to the new system and the tournament win rewards do not count towards it. This really should be fixed or changed if its not an oversight.
These achievements also progress during the match, so you could still farm them via the Skyhammer method since they do not get added at the end of the game.

the tourney rank points where never counting to this achivement. even before patch

I know, but it does not make sense, especially know that anet wants to reward team efforts and not hotjoin farming.

/signed.

I vote for this to, we want to encourage team efforts and more tournaments, so the chests should afcourse also count towards titles.

Fix this please.

yeah but i think it was suggested a year ago? so u mean they will change it the next decade?

I got an answer from John Carpening about this. From the looks of this it might happen one day.

oh the typical “we will discuss it”

im interesting when the discussion will end and the implementation starts.

Do not be so negative, sometimes they implement suggestions within 5 days, especially when it comes to some german complaining about a swastika on an armor. (https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/T3-Norn-heavy-armor)

Too bad this has not been updated yet. Especially with the 1000 rang points per tPvP win now I will be rank 50 before having the rank 40 title.

I agree. This fix is what I wait most of all.

I am disappointed if it really turns out that I am forced to double cap / silly behaviour in hotjoins in order to advance my main goal that is achievement title.

1000 rank points is ZERO WORTH for me if my achievement advances like 30-50 points for that very game!

The buffed rank points count towards the monthly achievement, but not to the long term achievements, very silly.

Didn’t even realize this problem existed and I’m rank 51. With all the tournament games I’ve played, I should be marauder by now… So much for avoiding hotjoin, huh. Please fix this and make sure to do a rollback to restore our lost rank points.

Yea, I honestly feel very sorry for others that are much higher ranking than me and showing title that is lower than my own.

The fix should be easy and it should be done retroactively. No one that is R40 should be denied “Ransacker” title IMO.

Unlike the infamous “Skyhammer issue” this fix would only have winners.

It should be more than easy to recalculate the achievements by calculating it directly from your pvp rank. But I would be very happy already if it would only be fixed for future matched, but retroactively would be even better.

Hehe yeah i think it should be fix, coz skyahmmer farmer gets the title faster than those play tourneys. Im rank 64 but its like tier 6 of 10 to ravager.ü but in reality i should have gotten it at rank 60.

I really don’t understand why they just don’t give you the title when you reach x0 rank.

Gladiator-10
Mercenary-20
Avenger-30
Ransacker-40
Marauder-50
Ravager-60
Reaper-70
Mist Walker-80
Legendary Champion- Max 80

That is very straightforward solution and no one would complain.

I would appreciate if we could have an official word regarding this issue. If you don’t have enough priority for this please let us know even that.

Fixing this should take like 30min of development time max, but what should we expect from a company needing over 1 year to fix wvw queues.

I was sad to hit Rank 40 Last night, and not get any achievement points. Just a tiger box =\

Achievements advancing from personal score instead of rank points is a bug. When it is fixed, it will be retroactive unless some horrible code demon prevents it. I wouldn’t stress over getting personal score to advance the achievement right now.

Thanks for the answer. It only took 471 days to recognize this as a bug.

Not really a bug! Just the feature, that the rankpoint-rewards from winning a tournement (450 Squeue/1000 Tqueue) isn’t counting for your title. So there are players rank 56 only playing tournements and didn’t have the “Marauder” titel yet.
But skyhammerfarmers with r60 and “Ravager”.

Only 1,239,781 to go if you don’t’ include profession bugs!

Take that demon bug to the House of Paincakes and give it the old what for, son!

Thaks for confirming this bug. I will immediately re-activate in pvp and start to wait for (retroactive) correction!

status on this bug?

#EvanLeshCeoandPresident2014

Cant wait for my title and 90 achievement points :p

Evan Lesh.3295:

Fixed internally, but won’t ship until its bundled with other things. (Internal process etc etc) It will be retroactive, so don’t worry about getting it sooner than later.

any time frame can be given ? :>

Soon

A patched happened and this bugfix was not included Why?

Will prolly be on the 21st of jan when a big patch arrives

So is it being fixed this patch?

I hope so, even if i couldn’t recognize hotjoiners anymore.

I hope this fix gets in today’s patch.

Heimdallr.7021:

I hope this fix gets in today’s patch.

I haven’t been able to log on yet but it is not in the update notes.

Give it another few months.

I guess not lol. What else is new.

Just the fix to the exploits, that would have been hotfix weeks ago if it was a pve issue.

Not fixed Its redicilous how long this takes.

It seems like this was only half fixed.

The account medal on the character select screen now seems to be based on your rank points.

The achievement however seems to still be based on the old system of points gained in the match (captures, kills, etc).

e.g. my account medal shows 55x,xxx which matches with my rank exactly, whilst the achievement is at something like 36x,xxx still.

The account medal has been fixed for awhile now. It’s the achievement that has been bugged since forever, and will probably be bugged forever.

They promised to fix the achievement also but so far there is no word when.

Considering how many players wear this series PvP achievement title I would assume there would be some priority to fix it as it is integral part of PvP rewards.

Bumping since the patch comes out on Tuesday. You guys said it was already fixed, so is it going to be with this patch? Or do we have to wait until LS is over?

I doubt it will be online tomorrow at this point, it looks like this would be a quick fix to implement but they’re taking forever to solve this

Evan Lesh.3295:

We have multiple teams all working on different things at different times. The fix for is bug lives with the rest of the upcoming PvP features and will be released at the same time. Since this bug fix will be retroactive, we’re not worried about trying to squeeze it into an earlier release.

You guys really aren’t worried about squeezing any fixes into any release, as it relates to pvp. First it was, “big patches”, then it was, “no will move things to smaller releases so you don’t have to wait”, now it’s “BIGGER AND BESTESTSTSTSTSTSTSTESETSTS patches”. All the lip service you guys give that only serves your current staffing pattern is tiresome.

You want to know why the hundreds of players that each of us brought over from other games left? Well, you already know why and yet you still choose to do nothing for proper pvp staffing. All the people that we pulled from other games (it wasn’t you guys who did it) all left and they’re not coming back. You think those releases in China are going to do anything differently for you? You’ll do the same thing to them as you did to us. FRUSTRATION AT AN ALL TIME MAX

Evan Lesh.3295:

I understand your frustration. As a player, I also want more features. However as a developer, I would rather have our releases get the testing time they deserve. The more we try and do without pushing back release dates, the lower the quality bar of that release gets. Regardless of it being a small fix, when many teams try and ‘squeeze in’ more fixes, they start to go untested, missing from patch notes, and ultimately cause more harm than good.

I’m all for testing and making sure bugs don’t make their way into games, which then lends to the question of why there still isn’t a PTR?
