Guild Wars 2

Hi,

The achievement “Stay Cool” in TA: Aetherpath does not work. I paid 4 people 2 gold each to do the ooze part for me, and did not get the achievement. This is preventing progress in the game. I cannot complete the meta achievement and get the mini clockheart without this achievement. If the fantastic dungeon team could please fix it, I would appreciate it. See the attached SS for proof.

Maybe you can’t be counted for the achievement if you hang back from the room. There is probably a trigger here involving you entering an area and staying there, or getting involved in combat (less likely)

This is correct. You cannot remain outside the room the entire time. (I don’t remember how it works exactly, only that we restarted a few times to get the chieve for a few guildies.)

PS it’s not “blocking progress” for the game to make it hard to leech an achievement. (I have nothing against leeching — I help people do it all the time — I just don’t think the game needs to make it easy or even possible.)

I’ve done it inside and outside the room, while running the oozes and while just kiting the fire elementals, with and without mini pets, with a thief, guardian, and engineer. It’s BROKEN. Seeing as there have been multiple threads on this for months and multiple reports and it’s blocking progress, can we please get a response from ANET?

UPDATE:

I just got the achievement.

Conditions under which it registered:

1. I was a thief.
2. I had no minipet.
3. I got hit by lava eles.
4. I didn’t step in the fire.
5. I was in the main room at the time, I followed the LEFT path.
6. Our team lead the oozes into the fire numerous times.
7. I did not take the pheromone or lead an ooze.
8. Two others in my group were also going for the achievement, 1 person got it, the other person, while successfully avoiding the fire, did not. I don’t know why.

It’s bugged to pieces, I don’t know what triggered it but I thought I’d post here so people can see what I did to get it.
