Guild Wars 2

Two issues have come up with the latest implemantation of the living story.

I have done the story with Braham but I did not get an exploration marker on my map so I am stuck with one zone missing in the Shiverpeak Explorer Achievement. I have checked the wiki and the only area missing is Cragstead. I did visit Cragstead instance without triggering the living story first if that makes any difference.

After I copleted the story I got the chest info giving me the loot (1x Karma Gift Box and 1x Bags of Coins). After I left the instance I got an e-mail saying that I have done it and I could click the “Get all” button at the bottom so I got another copy of both prizes. So in the end I got 2 bags of coins and 2 karma boxes. Is this intended or a bug?

Edit: 2 minutes after I made the post I got the Cragstead map marker out of the blue. I was just standing outside the zone doing nothing. This kinda resolves the first issue (I still don’t uderstand why I didn’t recieve it immediately) but the second issue stands open.

I’ve noticed update delays with POI, Vista, and Waypoints dating back several months. I just chalk it up to net lag. Not a big deal since it still updates.
Concerning the quest rewards; you received the same as I. Two different quests should provide two rewards, one for each.

This was for one of these quests. I got twice the number of rewards for one quest.

“I have done the story with Braham but I did not get an exploration marker on my map so I am stuck with one zone missing in the Shiverpeak Explorer Achievement. I have checked the wiki and the only area missing is Cragstead.”

Exactly the same…I’ve checked each map, and that’s the only zone i miss. No marker…done twice, but it does not change anything.

For Cragstead Poi, u can also try the spider cave with the Skill Point challenge

Can anyone confirm that this is a bugged area not counting towars the achievement? I’m at 173/175 and I know one is a mini dungeon that has been added that I haven’t done yet in Dredgehaunt Cliffs(Forsaken Halls).

But can’t find any other parts not yet uncovered on my Shiverpeaks maps so it might be Cragstead because I already have been there and if it is really bugged it might be the area I’m missing.

Any other areas that have been added besides that mini dungeon and the Cragstead instance?

Edit: Found this thread: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/players/Problems-with-Shiverpeak-Explorer

Trying things mentioned there now. Apparently joining the instance won’t get you to discover the area but you need to discover it from outside. They are talking about going near that door very close and other stuff.

Edit2: Yeah, that worked. They should move the instance marker a bit more to the door and maybe the region a little bit bigger to cover an area in front of the door so you can’t join the instance without disconvering the area.
