Challenge Motes are bugged [merged]
Yes, I know this issue got reported numerous times now, but please, Anet, fix this. In case of other Living story episodes I got the challenge mote to appear the “usual way” by re-entering the instance about 20-50 times, re-start the episoden, switch to character creation screen and different players starting the instance etc. but in case of “Meeting the Asura” nothing works at all.
Multiple topics already open in regards to this.
It deservers to. We should have the whole page 1 with it. Maybe anet will see it then.
Can anyone that actually got it to work repeat the process? maybe you guys can help out the unfortunate “forgotten” of Anet world? would gladly tip a gold for this instance.
I’ve tried nearly every permutation possible of what others described with guesting, minipets, relogging and alts with no luck. Countless tries…

anet, please fix
I stopped counting at 200 tries on this stupid achievement
Usually I think Anet are great at what they do but the fact that this is still going on and we haven’t even gotten a “we are working on this issue” is really testing my patience. It has been weeks guys, please get this sorted.

hi — i have been able to get the world summit mote to work three times now (and it is extremely random) by outright abandoning the story, starting a new one, relogging (or restarting my computer), and then restarting the story… however, i am one of those people who had a mote visible the first time i tried after the patch.
if it helps, i have found that partying up with people who haven’t yet seen the mote makes it stop appearing for me — i tried to help out a couple of other players earlier, but it didn’t work at all. however, as i said, this method has let me see it, when i enter alone, a couple of times now!
hope this helps someone!

Hi, thank you, but my problem is with the Asura challenge mote ..
yeah its the asura challenge mote thats broken for me. and the mod that merged topics just made kitten worse.
Hi, thank you, but my problem is with the Asura challenge mote ..
Same here, I think most of people got other ones except Meeting the Asura.
Same here. No challenge mode “sphere” in Meeting the Asura, more than 3 weeks. Try it everyday 5-6 times during day. Zero

ahh, sorry! D’: was hoping those methods might work for any mote where people were having issues, but haven’t had a chance to check that achievement as i did it back before it was bugged.
good luck and sorry i couldn’t help~!
Still waiting for the ‘Meeting the Asura’ challenge mote to be fixed.
please fix meeting the asura challenge mote. thank you
There were three very substantial threads on this subject. We’ve merged into one and I’ll check to make sure it’s on the “bugs to be reviewed” or “bugs actively being investigated” list.
In the future, if you guys see threads on the same topic, and if you’re willing to help out, it would be great if you grabbed the permanent link to the multiple threads (the little chain image in the lower right, then “copy link”) and flag it so a moderator can review and potentially merge.
Thanks to Sina for making me aware of the merge-ability!

Fantastic, thank you!
And it only took like what…3-4 week for someone to notice our problem?…not bad…
Maybe in 3-4 months we will have this bug looked at…and then in 3-4 years we will have it solved…
Ohh thank you!
I think it would be nice if they just gave us an alternative way to get the ascended item for the biolum set. The point in doing the achievement for me is to try and complete the set. Just put in a secondary way of getting the item and i’d be a happy camper. They can fix the stupid mote later for all i care.

I agree with this 100%. Options include, but not limited to removing unforgiving infiltration from the meta achie, or just adding the ascended item to the vendor for 1000-2000 bandit crests.

mote hype! i cant wait.
no really, i cant wait anymore
I want to finish the achievement: Unforgiving Infiltration, which belongs to “meeting the asura”. I want to do it, but I can’t find the “blue light” option (Challenge Mote) at the beggining. Any idea what to do?

The 1st post on this thread was 3 months ago …

Luckily for me I JUST decided to get the lumi set… in 2 days (I work full time) I got everything but this mote. This is a potential way to make sure achievements are not easily completed in under a month. I also corrected your time frame in the quote to accurately show how things are being handled.
I’d be less upset if this achievement is just for.. some random thing, or not really required like meta. it use to be like that isn’kitten where you just need to do 7/9 or whatever achievements to get the meta.

2 days, wow that’s rather impressive.
I like that they added every single ascended sinister trinket to the Bandit Crest Buy list EXCEPT for Wynne’s Locket.
Which also happens to be the only one i can’t get cuz of the ‘Meeting the Imps’ challenge mote.
I WANT MY BOOTS!!!!

Most of them only show up after you’ve done the story achievements, me thinks.

All of them only show up after you unlock it, except the ones that aren’t tied to Achievements.
EDIT: Verata’s Seared Ring and Jurah’s Jewel are the only ones that you can buy directly w/o any achievements.

That doesn’t make ANY sense! Who would want to buy them after they already have them?! It’s account bound!

Well, if you had 10 characters, each of them could have one equipped at the same time.

What if you delete/sell it and later want to use it?
What if you don’t want to keep changing it among your alts?
What if you want to use 2 offensive rings or accessory at the same time(by infusing 1 of them)?
All that requires you to buy an extra copy.

Oh how amazing, after 3 months you finally acknowledged that there’s a bug !
one day, i will have my boots
one day, i will have my boots
you know, this reminds me of something from the old days, used to play a game caled 9Dragons…and the publisher back then Acclaim always had this thing, for certain things they just said “Soon” …. and by soon they meant never xD
Sounds a lot like that….one day…)

I guess it’s about time I gave up hope. I shall print out the lumi boots and tape them to my TV.

Thank you for the acknowledgement but there are two separate bugs being discussed in the same thread now. The original thread was about the challenge motes appearing unreliably. The new discussion is specifically about the Meeting The Asura challenge mote being completely removed/broken in the March 16th patch.
I was able to do all the achievements from the last 4 chapters except meeting the asura so I assume they fix most of them seeing how this merged thread is focus only on meeting the asura mission, whitch gives hope this one is going to get fix as well. Still I think anet should have given us a reply on this metter… Maybe they are just all focus on HoT
I really hope they fix this soon now that someone has acknowledged this bug. Though to those of people saying it’s been 3 months: it’s only been roughly 3 weeks that the mote has been COMPLETELY broken. Before that it was only unreliable but worked most of the time.
It was such a pity because the day right before the patch which broke the mote I had been doing the other Meeting the Asura Achievements and saw the mote many times. If only I had done the achievement then.
Yeah I didn’t understand the merging either
seriously….. already over 50 time in and out, to get the challenge mode and yet nothing .
I wish you would care about it.
When the bug is fixed, can we expect a mail (maybe with something nice for waiting a long time) from Anet, or should we stubbornly keep trying multiple times each day?
I have this same problem. It is blocking progress on achievements. We have tried it multiple times. With minis out, without minis. With the mission, or just in achievement mode. Nothing works. The little blue flame for the challenge mode simply does not and will not appear in “Meeting the Asura”. This is literally the only thing stopping me from finishing my Lumi set.
Seriously. OCD going bonkers here. Need my boots.
21 days. still broken…. :’(

Make no mistake I love this game, but this is the most annoying bug I’ve encountered in my gaming “carrier”. (it tops the broken main quest-line blocking bugs I’ve gotten in all 3 episodes of Gothic,)
before you could do that, now its completely broken. so gg
don’t they care about fixing it?
Everyone post your screenshots! Let’s show Arenanet what’s going on.
/cry
maybe one day.. maybe
You people should really get on this…. For your newer (relatively) content to have a persisting bug for over three months that denies people from finishing said content is insane.
