Guild Wars 2

After the last maintenance on February 13, the counters on some achievement are reduced by 1. I noticed this because I had some achievements in Slayer section completed (1,000/1,000) and they all turned to 999/1,000 after I logged back on when maintenance is done. Here is the list:
Centaur, Spider, Indiscriminate, Bandit, Dredge, Elemental, Ghost Buster, Grawl, Flame Legion’s Bane, Fish, Inquest’s Bane, Krait, Skritt, Son of Svanir’s Bane, Zhaitan’s Bane

Weapon Master achievements were also impacted: Master of Overkill, Axe, Short Bow, Greatsword. The same issue also affects Lifetime Survivor achievement which I have completed (500,000 exp without death) where the counter diminished by 1 to become 499,999.

While most of the glitched achievements can easily be recouped, Lifetime Survivor is a little harder to regain, hence I humbly wish that the support team can look into this and work out a fix promptly.

After the patch today I noticed I am more than 100+ points less on my achievement points. What really concerns me is this is not the first time it has happened to me after a patch. I believe 3 other patches have done the same thing in the past. So I wanted to raise a red flag and ask:

Why does this happen?
Is there anyway to have the lost achievement points restored for just this last patch?

The problem I see is there is no way to know for sure when you hit the launch button for the game if a patch is present or not, so I would like to ask this:

From here forward is it possible when a patch is present to add some new code to abate the patch temporarily with a popup box, so we can login and take a screenshot of our stats for verification purposes?

Thank you, and btw I still love playing this game.

Might want to look here.

With what time I have left, waisting any of it is not an option
I worked hard to completed as many Achievements as possible before the cancer I have gets the best of me
Before today I had 35 of the 39 Slayer deeds completed. only these 4 left to complete
Giant Slayer
Jotum Slayer
Orge Slayer
Plant Slayer
Now I have only
Flame Legions Bane
Zhaitan’s Bane
completed
there are more achievements that were taken from me but I’ll not waist any more of my time looking for & listing them here
your fix for a data base error on your end is to rob players of thier achievements?
quess it’s too much work to add that 1 point back on the 32 slayer deeds you took away
how many players that now have 999/1000 on slayers deeds didn’t have 1 kill removed?
far less the the number that did I’m sure
thanks

Not that you’re looking for sympathies from me, but I am sorry to hear you have cancer. I of course have to side with Anet.

It’s always good to side with the customers, but this is not a perfect world of course. Anet is comprised of busy people with jobs to do and goals to achieve. When making a choice like this, one must consider which is the best choice. Got to weigh up time and collateral damage or risk. So, make things perfect and cause a large backlog of tasks due to the time required, or use option 2 which has what they would consider minor consequences, with faster results.

I just noticed this too. I’m having the exact same issue.
I’ve lost over 100 achievement points with this. That’s on top of the 300 lost last time this happened.

I’m not looking for or asking for anyone sympathies.
It would of only taken 1 more line of code to return the 1 point removed.
asking for what I already achieved to be returned isn’t asking too much
getting from 4999/5000 to 5000/5000 exp earned with out a death isn’t going to be so easy to reclaim, time is a factor
