Guild Wars 2

The “Experience Survivor” monthly achievement should only reset when the player is defeated, according to its description.

In game, the achievement appears to reset when the player logs off, changes zones, moves to an Overflow shard, or is Downed.

Logging off, changing zones, etc. should not reset progress on this achievement. This makes the achievement difficult to obtain for lower-level players, even with perfect play.

Yes, this seemed to have been bugged for quite some time – there have been other threads about it but it doesn’t seem to be mentioned in any of the ‘being worked on’ bugs. I got to 50k the other night then had to log off (to go to bed in order to get up for work in the morning). Log on next time and…zero gets added to the progress. It’s very frustrating. It’s got to the point where it’s stopping me enjoying the game somewhat – I feel i don’t want to go and complete things and make it potentially harder to get the achievement in the future.

The biggest kick in the teeth is that it’s part of the monthly achievement (which I gather are not necessarily always going to be the same every month). In which case, knowing or suspecting the thing was bugged WHY include it! (ok maybe it wasn’t realised how big an issue it was).

I know maybe this doesn’t bother some people but a big part of what I get out of the game is the achievements. Not being able to progress the monthly one is just incredibly irritating, it not seeming to be acknowledged that its an issue that is being worked on is also irritating. I don’t WANT to be irritated at this game! I want to just go play…but this bug is making it harder.

I agree that this is both annoying and frustrating that we haven’t heard that it is being looked into. If it is intended to be “sit in same zone and grind 100k XP without leaving,” then the tooltip needs updated.

There are two weeks left in September. Is this going to be addressed before then?
