Guild Wars 2

Hey i just finished first in Sanctum Race and did not get the Achievment! I also contacted the ingame Support lets see if they answer!

The person who really got first left the game making it appear like you got first when the scoreboard pops up.

I’ll also add – you can tell if you actually came first or if the person who came first left, because 1st place earns 175 points for winning. If you’ve received 165, you actually came second.

You know about the shortcut at the end with your 1 skill right? Someone probably snaked it from you right at the end, and then logged after getting their loot.

I belive the winner gets 175 points right? Not 165?

There is an issue with how finishing place is determined and displayed when granting the achievement.

• “Player A” passes finish line, gets 1st place.
• “Player A” immediately leaves to join another game instead of waiting around for 5+ minutes.
• “Player B” passes the finish line, sees nobody else around, thinks they are first place.
  Game ends and “Player B”, that actually finished in 2nd place, is shown as having won 1st place in the Race Results since “Player A” has left and is not listed in the results.
• “Player B” does not get First Place Achievement nor awarded the Title.

I am re-adding this comment clarifying what caused the OP’s situation since my previous one was removed since it also contained a response to another comment that was removed. Take-away from this is to not combine multiple replies to comments into a single response post, make each reply a separate post.
