Guild Wars 2

As title says, the daily tracker still collapses, it doesn’t stay open all the time (it’s random when it does collapse it seems).

To me it doesn’t seem random, as it happens every time I complete an event. The event medal pops up, collapsing the daily tracker.

It also doesn’t disappear from the screen when it’s completed.

The patch note on this was confusing. The Daily Tracker still collapses when other events and such pop up on the right side of the screen.

The way the feature works is that if the tracker auto-collapses it will auto-expand the next time you make progress in an achievement. Clicking to collapse will turn off the auto-expand behavior.

Argh, that’s unfortunate, though I suppose it’s a step in the right direction. That was one of my least favorite aspects of the daily tracker. I constantly had to re-expand it manually, and it looks like I’ll still have to.

Auto expanding whenever I enter an event, often one that I do not plan to participate in as I am just passing through, is annoying.

If it auto-expanded after leaving the DE, that’d be nice. But it’s only when we make progress in the achievement? I still have to re-expand it manually prior so that I remember everything that I need to do, or otherwise I may not even know what to make progress in.

Kat, why don’t you guys make it work like that?

Maybe put a tick box on the corner of the tracker, so that you can choose on yourself if you want to pin it open or not.

Also, those dailies that get completed should dissapear from it. It was working like that before, why did you have to change it?

Just make it remember what I set it to. Please. Same with the personal story tracker.

If I expand it, stay expanded until I collapse it. If I collapse it, stay collapsed. Is this a technical issue? Is it really that hard to code up? Because it’s really one of the more annoying things about the whole tracker.

Thanks for the response, Kat, and I agree with others, please let us pin it perma-open if we choose

Achievements that are marked as favorites in the hero panel do not disappear from the list when completed. You can click on any achievement to open the hero panel to the selected achievement and uncheck the tracking box to clear it from the list.

Hope that helps!

It does help! Thank you for such a quick reply

It doesn’t seem to be working for me, even with this information in mind.

I am tracking the Weapon Master achievement for short bow kills (“Short-Bow Master”). An event popped up, and the achievement tracker collapsed. I killed things with a short bow for the event, and the tracker stayed collapsed. I got a gold medal for my participation in the event (dismissed that notification), and continued on. I killed several things, all by myself and all entirely with a short bow. The tracker stayed collapsed, even though I was making progress towards Short-Bow Master.

The event and monsters I was killing were all in Wayfarer Hills, and nothing special about anything I killed (no veterans or champions, even for the event).

Is there a way to indicate how many items you would like to track in your Achievements Tracker?

E.g. I would like keep track of my 5 daily goals of the day that I’ve checked in addition to the 2 new Living Story achievements.. however, if I tick the 2 LS check boxes and then a selection of 5 dailies, my achievements tracker will only show my selected daily items, whereas I would ideally like to show all the items that I have ticked checkboxes for (i.e. all 7 achievements). Add to that, I might want to keep track of monthly achievements too, so is there a way you can let the user himself decide how many achievements they would like to keep track of in the Achievements tracker?

Since it collapses anyway when there’s other stuff going on, I think you could at least up the max limit (if it still is 5) to say, 15?

They’ve gone for the complex harder to design/program option. I’d prefer the KISS principle with these things, just make it stay in the state I left it. There’s absolutely no need to make it collapse/expand when it feels like it.

I’d prefer if the tracker would collapse only when I wanted it to… as would alot of people I guess. The limit of 5 displayed tracked items is really annoying as well…

This problem has been rectified to a point but it still chooses to collapse itself if dynamic events happen to pop up. It looks to me like when the objective window is getting full it collapses the daily achievement list to make room for any events. There needs to be a more rigorous line of code somewhere that makes the daily tracker fixed as it’s expanded and only collapsed if the player so chooses by clicking on it.
