Guild Wars 2

I noticed last night as I was working on my quest to get finish up the monthly achievement that my xp stopped growing on the monthly achievement. I had not died at all and it’s at about ~74k/75k.

I really hope I haven’t hit a bug where I have to start over since I’m still fairly low level and didn’t want to have to focus too much of my time on it. Was there something I did that made it stop showing XP growth? Did entering a Lion’s Arch overflow cause me to lose my progress?

So far that’s the only issue I’ve had with any of my achievements daily or monthly.

The monthly achievement for exp gained for not dying is currently bugged. You cannot change zones, you cannot leave the server (go from overflow to main), and you cannot log out or the achievement resets.

You cannot use waypoint either!

wow that sucks, I’m at about 74k/75k too… so if I get 75k XP in a single zone without logging out or using waypoints i might get the achievement?

Aww so that’s how it is…kitten Thank you for the information though, tonight I’ll just try to stay in a level 40 zone and see if I can reach it.

Aristar sadly we need 100k, I was working on the third tier which shows up to 75k. I hope you are able to get it!

I wondered what was going on. When I started playing yesterday I had a little over 48k, just below the 50k tier threshold. When I checked my status before logging off, it was still 48k even though I had done quite a bit of PVE and never once died.

Anet, can we get a status update on this? I have been purposely avoiding some of the nastier jumping puzzles and PVP so that I could finish my monthly achievement.

I was going to post a new thread, but I will just add to this one…
I am now level 51 and still not achieved this… at first it was because I did not know the above about using way points, logging out, etc…

Today (just now) I reached 85k, and was so happy it was going to finally happen.
Then I got forced logged out by the client update.

After logging in and confirming the XP had stopped counting for this achievement, I am very very upset.

Its one thing to have to know the strange limitations of this buggy achievement and work around them; its another to be forced out of a system causing it to break.

I am not sure what is in that monthly reward, but I feel very ripped off and demotivated to try again.

its very hard to play the game without using way points.. running around the map is extremely slow and boring.. and I put in hours of effort to do this to make an achievement, and now have been robbed.

thank you.

You still have more than 2 weeks to get the achievement.

I’d also like to add that you can’t go into story instances either. Falls under the category of “leaving the server” I suppose.

That said, I got this in a level-appropriate zone (40-50 I think) in a couple of hours. 100k exp really isn’t that much in this game. GW2 hands exp out like candy.

Wow I never knew that I thought it started to work after you got the daily events finsihed… at least that worked for me.

Just for those of high enough level, I did an AC dungeon run in story mode a couple of days ago as a lvl80 character and the reward was 177k XP. I guess around lvl70’ish should give you enough for the achievement so if you are high level and need it try a dungeon.

PS. Not sure if that’s the standard reward or being my first ever dungeon run had something to do with it but it was all a single reward, excluding the mob kill XP I got earlier, so you can die freely – as I did=D

Is this bug still happening?

I do 1 dungeon as level 80 and get that achievement np..

As of saturday, the bug still seemed in effect. However, sunday I managed to get my 100k all in one zone (Harathi Hinterlands) without any instance change. It took about 3.5 hours of playing plus one little trick.

I started at 6pm eastern with my daily not yet started, played for ~1.75 hours to get the daily, took a short break at keyboard staying logged in and waited for 8pm eastern to roll by (the daily reset) then played for another ~2 hours finishing a second daily (with a short meal break, again at the computer). Went from a little ways into level 37 to just shy of level 41 to get the full 100k. The 2 dailies accounted for about 1/3 of the xp, the rest came from events, hearts and exploration (the zone was mostly undiscovered when I started).

Mortifer.2946:

You cannot use waypoint either!

You can, so long as it’s not too far (if you get a loading screen it might bug out).

This bug has cost me a lot of money in crafting. My game crashed twice and reset it.
