Guild Wars 2

I think the way GW2 checks the hints is kind of bugged, which also affects the achievement for completing hints.

1. Finish Foes in PvP
>> I have done the complete PvP tutorial before entering the Heart of Mists and I have finished people in WvW. I have not unlocked the hint though. I can not remember if I ever saw the hint pop up.

>>> Solution that worked after experimenting: Kill a profession foe in the Heart of the Mists training area and close the hint at the [x].

2. Mailbox is full
>> A full mailbox does not trigger the hint, at least not when the envelope turns red. After several zonings today (with a full mailbox), the hint finally appeared. For a guildie the hint did not appear at all.

3. Pet swap F4
>> I acquired more pets (via the HoM) and swapped them with F4. The hint never appeared. The F2 hint worked, when I clicked the guard/heal button.

4. Broken Armor
>> Although my armour was broken several times, the hint to visit a Repair NPC never appeared, even when hovering over the small red shield next to my life orb or in the inventory.

>>> Solution that worked after experimenting: equip and un-equip the broken piece of equipment several times. I think it activated the hint after the third swap

5. Achievement track
>> Although I only have the Pet F4 thing missing, the title track shows just 77 out of 82 hints completed. Unless some hints are not listed or are uncovered later, something is wrong.

I know, not very important things, but still strange and thing sthat should be fixed somehow.

THANK YOU!. Took me about 30 swaps, no joke. This needs to be fixed.

I was missing only mailbox and pet swap and it said 77 too, I managed to get mailbox one to trigger and now it says 81/82. So it will hopefully finish completely for you when you manage to swap a pet, I am currently trying to make it happen, but it seems futile…

I had the broken armor bug as well. I created a new toon and took it out and broke everything until naked then it pop’d up.

I can’t get the WvW supply and score hints to appear. I’ve stood next to supply, on a new character, it won’t show up. I’ve even taken some supply on a (different) new character, and stood by places i could use supply. In the same way I can’t get the score hint either.

I also can’t get Laurel hint even though I’ve obtained many laurels. I believe that on a different character I’ve had the hints pop up and ignored them.
