Guild Wars 2

So I’ve been working on the dungeon collections, and I finished the AC one, and moved on to the CoE one. I’ve been doing the PvP reward track for CoE as well as running it daily for the tokens. The other day I was in a custom arena with some friends, the match ended, it caused me to get a weapon chest in my reward track for CoE. I opened it while inside the arena, and picked the rifle skin. However, while I have the skin unlocked in my wardrobe I do not have it towards the collection. When I go to the CoE vendor, and mouse over the rifle, it says ‘skin unlocked’, and I’m able to change the skin of other rifles to the CoE skin in the wardrobe. But it is not unlocked for the collection. At the moment I’m 33/37 for the collection, with the rifle and 3 other skins still needing to be unlocked to complete the collection, I’m assuming that I won’t be able to complete the collection without buying another rifle skin, I’m just hoping that I will in fact be able to finish the collection. I’ll update this post as I unlock the other 3 skins, and attempt to unlock the rifle (again).

I was watching friends duel in my guild pvp room and clearing my messy bag. By using the pvp reward potion i finished a full reward track of dungeon ta and got the armor chest. then i selected the heavy chest piece and it showed i unlocked the skin. but in the ta collector achievement the chest skin didn’t unlock. I salvaged it and it doesn’t work either. anyone got any idea?

so should i just purchase another one instead

I just finished the entire HotW achievement doing nothing but PvP. Never had an issue with one of my skins not unlocking. Just unlocked a weapon skin today on another achievement. Is it an intermittent bug?

That wont fix it, you need to wait for a patch. Your achievement is bugged now :/

Never unlock collection stuff in a pvp match or while spectating.

I sent a ticket into support and apparently this is something happening to other people as well, its just a bug and they’re working on fixing it. Until then the collection just won’t be completed. Also, getting another weapon/armor piece does not give you the skin for the collection if you’ve already unlocked it in the wardrobe, at least it didn’t work for me when I got a second rifle.

It’s an old bug, there are several “merged” threads here about it. Some get with new updates fixed, but anet works still on some.

Most important thing to prevent this from happening again:
Don’t unlock skins in pvp or even wvw mode! All recorded bugs happend by unlocking in pvp area (or sometimes wvw), they never happend in pve.
