I was at 3/4. Now I’m back to 1/4. Champ Slayer was taken out and 1 other thing that I can’t recall. Anyway…

(UPDATE)
A-Net has spoken. The programmers have determined the issue too risky to fix since it might do more harm than good. I’m not a programmer and I’m not here to tell anyone how to do their job. It sucks but I’ll take their word for it. I wish I could have gotten the 20 laurels that I need to get my Chauncey..especially since I was one daily quest completion from getting it but whatever. I’m still glad to be back to GW2 after a 9-month hiatus. So, instead of arguing, complaining, and begging for some compensation, I’d advice everyone to just accept that it was a mistake, it sucks but it’s not the end of the world so move on.

Hey, I have really important question to ArenaNET about monthly achievement points.
A year ago don’t remember exacly September or November was bug in monthly. Some people can do monthly twice or more in the same month. They got reset monthly after completed. So they was make it and they got more points. Not everyone got this extra monthly.

Yes i didn’t get it of course, thats why I write this.
I have every AP in monthly and I’m at 923 points

Some people got more becouse they have extra rest.

I’m top3 EU in achievement points right now, as I know im 41 points less than top1 and I don’t know how top 2 got. (41 AP from monthly of course)

So question is how can I rival with other players in leaderboards if people got more points becouse of bug in AP monthly? What developer wanna do with this? This is unfair for me at all. I belive it is not only my problem.

By the way would be nice if in feature we can see other player AP (list or something not only points) and compare.

P.S. sorry for my english is not my native.

Be prepared to have people come in here and tell you that achievement points don’t matter and you shouldn’t care about them. Always happens when something like this comes up.

That said, I was pretty sure I always finished all monthly achievements (including August last year) and also have 923. Recently found out that there are people with 960+. Nothing that can be done about that now. Nowadays it’s become a toss up between finishing the monthly on the first day of the month in case something like this happens, or waiting until the end because they might add extra rewards (remember pvp monthly extra laurel reward?)

Does it only trigger a % on unique jumping puzzles? I have done the same one 6 times(Frost-gorge sound) and only got +% once.

Not sure if its a bug or working as expected.

Thanks!

Working as expected, so you can’t camp a character at a JP and log him in once each day to get the reward.

EVERY MMO is awesome until it is released then its unfinished. A month after release it just sucks.

Your account needs to complete 12 unique jump puzzles to get the achievement. It’s working as intended, although changing the description to “Find and complete unique jump puzzles” would be an extremely helpful change.

Thanks to todays update a lot of ppl lost up to 30 more achivement points because crafting , champion and group events were replaced with other achivements and thanks to that you can complete it again for aditional points .

Found another one of Anet great idea . They removed Sanctum Sprint regular achievement but ppl that had it maxed didn’t lose any points .

Have the same here. This is quite unfair. There was also achievement for crafting x items of more than masterwork rarity in monthly category, now it’s gone too. I was planing to do this as the last one for monthly progress after update go in live. Now not only this achievement was deleted, I have got also two achievements less in monthly category…

Totally unfair in my honest opinion.

Was at 3/4 too and now back at 1/4. Does this also means that people who did finish their monthly get to do it again while the rest of us just get to do it all over again with no benefits?

WTF is this crap? You’ve reset Magic Find and my Monthlies? And in return you dish out some crap present from Scarlet?

Is it “Make a fool out of your players month”? In the 6 years I’ve played Guild Wars I’ve never felt so angry and upset with you guys. You’re lucky this isn’t pay to play – I’d be cancelling today.

Edited to add

One toon’s Tailoring is still at 400/400 and she still has Exotic recipes for insignia? this looks a bit half kitten too

Same problem here.
Anet, you guys are doing some nice stuff with GW, but you do need to step up your game a bit. Because in the last 2-3 days i came across a number of bugs, including this, which really start to ‘bug’ me. For me there is this one, Flame dye’s bought that do not give flame but regular dye and as a result a not satisfying answer from your support, Trade not working and then a number of other issues. This is starting to affect my enjoyment of the game. And its already at a point now that i will no longer support the game by buying gems with actual money.

Just noticed this…

“Crafting experience for all disciplines has been updated to accommodate leveling to a rating of 500. As part of this, the total amount of leveling experience that comes from leveling a crafting discipline now requires leveling all the way to a rating of 500.”

but….

“Weaponsmith, Huntsman, and Artificer can now be leveled to a rating of 500.”

Which is it? Jewelers, Tailors, Leatherworkers and Chef’s can’t be levelled or can they? I’ve checked two toons now and both show 400/400 – Tailor and Jeweler

Even if they give back players monthly progress, they probably won’t remove 10 laurels to those who did it twice.

I’m not mad about people getting extra stuff. I’m mad that I wasted my time and effort to do the monthly and have to start over again. Give me credit for the 2 monthly categories I did so I can do SAB.
I know you guys are real proud of these quick turn around updates, but in all seriousness, I don’t find it that great. I was just fine with monthly updates that wouldn’t be full of bugs and achievements that I have to grind at if I hope to finish them before the next update. Just slow down – quality NOT quantity.

I highly doubt that this update was ‘unfinished’ the day before it was set to go live.

With that being said, what quality control?

Arena, PLEASE…

Step 1: Return the monthly categories which were removed in the patch (Champion Slayer, Group Event Completer, Masterwork Crafter) with the completion track back as they were just before patch if someone finished them earlier.

Step 2: Dont award more coins and laurels to those who already got them. I got mine, yesterday (did 4/6) before patch and I dont want duplicates this month, this will be the only fair option I can imagine.

Players had no warning whatsoever that this will happen. If they would, maybe at least some of them could plan ahead. Should I plan ahead before every single patch every two weeks that something will be screwed and so try to complete EVERYTHING on first day after implementation? Should I take holiday from work every two weeks to be prepared for patch bugs and lack of proper communication?

Please Arena, stop making those mistakes. It makes me loose spirit over your game. Clearly you cant handle the two-week patch cycle and to be honest I cant blame you for this. Its hard and I understand that. Revert back to one month patches and test your stuff properly, maybe even open a PTR.

I am sorry this sounds bitter. I love your game. But I am loosing my will to play it if I know that there are constant bugs and overlooks waiting for me potentially every week. And the only way to fight them is to zerg the content and dont even logout from the game until everything that was “introduced” in the latest patch or daily/monthly reset is complete. This makes me sad

The more I sit here wondering how this frell up happened – the more I feel that “Thanks for the reports…” doesn’t come anywhere near making me feel better about it.

A “Sorry folks – we’re aware there are issues and we’re working on them” might have made me feel better hearing someone make some move to an apology and recouping the huge loss of faith (a lot of) people are having today.

Once again, those that actually work during the week get screwed over as well since they’ll likely miss out on getting the essence of luck as the game will be patched before they get home.

I guess I’m going to have to start taking the patch days off since Anet is notorious for not rectifying the situation in an equitable way. What they will likely do is revert the monthly status back to what it was. Those that got the essence of luck get to keep them while those that have a job or didn’t complete the monthly in time miss out on one set of rewards.

What they should do is just reward those that haven’t completed the monthly karma and laurels. For those that did but not twice, reward them the essence of luck and laurels. Those that completed the monthly twice get ZERO. Of course, based on their track record, this will not happen. They have no system in place that accurately tracks who did what. Just look at the karka event from about a year ago. Those that completed it still got a free chest.

This is just me venting. I’ll wait until they do their “fix” before making any final judgments.
