Guild Wars 2

I’ve done the Living Story episodes several times now with a few different characters. And I can only get credit for achievements when completing them with a character that’s already done with the story. I mentioned this to some people and they said they were getting credit, so I’m unsure how widespread this issue is. Or even if it’s by design.

Examples:
My engineer completed the Living Story, episodes 1 and 2. The achievements shown in the achievement window were marked as unlocked when I checked with my guardian.

My guardian destroyed all four pieces of Inquest Survey equipment in the Fallen Hopes instance, but did not get credit for the achievement No Rock Unturned. My warrior defeated the Inquest in Discovering Scarlet’s Breakthrough without touching any of the consoles, but got no credit for No Tricks.

When I revisited the instances with my engineer and did the same exact steps for the achievements, I did receive credit.

I can’t think of any reason that my alts are not receiving credit for this, there’s nothing in game that would possibly indicate that I need to repeat the instances with the same character for the achievements.

I believe each alt must complete the story before unlocking and/or receiving credit for Achievements. There are tons of threads about it.

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Possibly. But if that’s by design, then the bug is that the achievements shown in the hero window are listed as unlocked. They should be locked before that particular character completes the story.

Or the bug is that even though they don’t get credit, they should.

I’m not going to say which is which, but having the achievements shown as unlocked but unobtainable? I can’t imagine that’s working properly.

There are tons of threads about it.

Could be. The forum search is utterly worthless, though, turning up zero threads for the achievement names.

Yeah each toon has to complete the story before the achievements can be obtained

Just a few if you want to read about it.
