Guild Wars 2

I did the living story (The Dragon’s Reach, Part 2) on 2 characters (1 when it first came out, 1 about a month ago) and I haven’t gotten any achievements even when I did everything perfectly.

Do you actually have to complete it and then replay this godawful, uninspired mess of a living story to get achievements, or am I too late?

Yes, you have to complete them to unlock the achievements (and each character has to go through it in order to be able to try the achievements on each character). After completing the whole run on a character, you’ll have the option to play through again (you don’t have to do it all in order; you can just go to each mission as you desire) for the achievements.

Seriously? Better bring out the anti-depressants then.
