Guild Wars 2

Just about every time I get to the top of the ballon spots the chests are always open? How am I supposed to get the achievement?

I have this problem too, so far it’s happened twice. I’ll start an event that someones already doing or camping, they’ll complete it right as i get there, so i dont get credit for the event – but the chest opens regardless, but its not lootable. Looks like a very annoying bug, which is not good when you have a finite amount of ballons to get the achievement.

I complained about this to support and was told to raise a an in-game ticket and the devs would have the details. But no help with the missing ones. New content = new bugs.

I sent my bug report the very first day the new content came out. The balloon tower in question was the one near Kryta Waypoint in Queensdale zone.

I did it thrice with different toons and rebooted game and still nothing. First, was when a few players was escorting which I caught tail end close to tower, other was I starting the escort and doing it myself twice with different toons. When I climb the stairs leading to the next landing I hear the opening chest sound and when I get to the chest it is already open and can’t interact at all.

I really woudn’t worry about it too much. Like yourself I was concerned at the start. I had two tower balloon chests bug on me, the Queensdale chest being one. However, on finishing all the towers required for completion, I still had almost all of Ascalon untouched, so there is a huge amount of leeway on this one^^.

There really isn’t I’ve done about 20 or so towers and was only able to get about 5. The rest were bugged. I think if you don’t go all the way up to the top and open the chests from the last flight of stairs I think you are fine.

Achievement should have been based on reaching the top and not opening a chest.

Maybe issue is that it’s too close to the Divinitys Reach interaction and for some reason that is causing it to auto trigger?

The chest isn’t visible/selectable when holding SHIFT when this bug occurs for me. They are selectable/viewable when unopened.

I have this bug as well I just dont know how to report anything in game though

I experienced this on several chests and when it happens, you don’t typically get credit. However, by the time I had all of them I still had 2 zones or so left (excluding Orr). I thought I’d test a theory and went to one more zone after completing the achieve and neither of the 2 chests gave loot or were able to be interacted with, I did “hear” them opening while running up, before I even got to the last flight of steps.
