Guild Wars 2

It’s incredible that you let people doing again and again maps as you know that there is a huge bug …

fix it !

or put the achievement at 12/12 !!!!

/ tired

I’m stuck at 12/13, and I’m almost sure that Iron Marches is the one I’m missing. The thing is, I’ve already tried it 3 times (was there all the time, killed a lot of Twisted champs, didn’t disconnect) and didn’t get the achievement. Is it possible that credit for the achievement is somehow bugged in Iron Marches?

I think that it bugs on one character for some maps and if you change to another character it might work. Sadly I’ve only mapped the zones on one character.

I’ve done all 13 and given up hope for getting the achievement; it’s stuck at 12/13. I got the meta, but it is still irritating that this one is so broken. Having a list of zones I’ve done so I’d know which one to try again would be great, too.

I was stuck on 4/5 for Vorpp’s Portal Invasion Closer and 4/13 for Invasion Canceler since the start of this patch until today. In the maps I knew I hadn’t done yet I made sure to at least complete 1 of the Scarlett minion event in each of the 3 Waves and I also made sure to never be in an overflow during these. I was able to get from 4/13 to 13/13 today just by following those 2 rules.

The maps also seemed to go on 1 continuous rotation today (except for repeats of maybe a couple of maps). If you’re ever stuck in an overflow, try to look for someone in your guild who is on the same map as you and join their party to get out of the overflow.

i have done each and every map at least 2 times and i am still stuck on 12/13 this really drive me nuts.

I’m sure that was involved in repelling invasions in all 13
BUT panel achievements noted only 12/13.
this is due to the fact that what I was advocating that location on a server overload?

All works perfectly. Try to complete the maps, where events do not occur very often, like Gendarran Fields, Sparkfly Fen or Iron Marches, even if you done it already. Finished my last one achievement on Sparkfly Fen map.

i’m also stuck at 12/13, done all maps atleast twice (think its bloodtide coast i’ve not gotten credit for). so sick of this. will anything be done about it? probably not, atleast i won’t be holding my breath. 25 achievement points alot of us will miss out on because of something beyond our control.

pls extend the event or do something else but make sure that people just won’t get the achivement because it would take to long to fix the bug……..

12/13 for a week now. dont know what to do. all maps participated 3-4 times.

12/13, done every map twice.

Pls halp.

Just what I wanted! A merged thread, so I can be completely ignored!

12/13 here, and I have done EVERY map at least twice SINCE being at 12/13.

Filed a support request, because I know those guys were just itching to tell me there’s nothing they can do, and to kitten off. If I get a response, I’ll be sure to share it in this merged black hole.

Hi guys,

After some careful investigation of these achievements, we believe there are a few technical restrictions and communication issues that are causing the problems here.

First, Molten and Pirate events do not grant achievement credit. This means that if you hop into an invasion right as scarlet spawns, or if you spend an entire invasion on pirate and/or molten events, you will not get achievement credit for that map.

Second, disconnecting during an invasion seems to have some odd effects on participation credit, especially if you end up switching maps in the process (i.e. moving to a different overflow). You should still get credit if you participate in at least one watchwork event after reconnecting, but if you disconnect, you should assume your participation credit up to that point has been lost. This is far from ideal, but it would be a code-level fix, and we wouldn’t be able to get it in before the end of the event.

Lastly, because the previous two issues are not super obvious, people may be losing track of which maps they have already gotten credit for. The meta rewards are always given as long as you’re on the map when it ends. Many players expect this to mean that they also received achievement credit (which ideally should be a reasonable assumption). However, as this is not always the case, they may mark off a map as complete, even though they did not receive achievement credit.

So in order to receive achievement credit, you need to participate and complete at least one watchwork portal event, and still be on the map when the meta ends. It doesn’t matter how far the meta gets progressed, and you don’t need to participate in any Molten/Pirate events.

Hopefully this clarifies some things for you, and many apologies for any frustration this has caused. In the future, we will try to ensure that large-scale achievements like this are more easily trackable to cut down on any potential confusion.

I have followed your advice, and have completed every map twice since being at 12/13, and I’m still at 12/13. Is there anything else I can waste hour after hour trying, only to be further disappointed? I don’t understand why ANet won’t own up to the fact that it’s definitely a bug.

Stuck on 12/13 myself, I made sure I did every map now without jumping between flows and doing at least two scarlet minion events. At this point, I don’t have the foggiest idea what map it is I have to do again in order to finally get the achievement to go complete itself.

I’ve been doing the events for a long time now, I know I’ve done all of the Maps at least twice however I’m still stuck on the 12/13 like the rest…

I have completed all of the Clockwork Chaos events multiple times and I can’t count the number of times I have not gotten credit for the achievement. I am extremely frustrated. I have been on all day waiting to this area to open up in Fireheart Rise to complete the Invasion Closer achievement and the Frost and Fire achievement. The only area I have not received credit for is Fireheart Rise.

Tonight I completed the Fireheart Rise not even a half an hour ago. I received the loot at the end of the event completed the event the same way i had on every other area. When i checked the Living story achievement section. No credit.

I am extremely upset. These events have been bugging out, and not giving credit to every person I’ve talked to. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to not getting credit. It has happened to me on multiple occasions but I just continued to go to events over again until I completed the other achievements. Well tonight I’m done. I’m not going to spend another 3-8 hours waiting for this event to come up again. Spend 40 min on the event only to find out again that it won’t give me credit.

Please give me credit for the achievements i have completed.

At this point, I am still at 12 of 13.

1. I did play all 13 individual maps.
2. I did not disconnect, switch overflows or switch characters during any invasion.
3. I did remain for the entire invasion through to the end of the timer until after the meta was awarded.
4. I did participate in not only one, but multiple watchwork minion portal closing events. I killed actual minions and destroyed gears.

I even went back and replayed all of the maps just to make sure. The only one I haven’t done multiple times is Mount Maelstrom (it never seems to come up when I’m home), and I know that I met all of the above criteria for that one the first time. I have to work in the morning, so I can stay up all night to keep trying to make this work. I feel like I’ve done everything I could possibly do to follow the instructions that were given to meet the requirements to finish the achievement.

This is definitely a bug – I don’t know (or care at this point) which of the 13 maps it is that I’m not getting the credit for because I know that I completed all of them. I’m really hoping that they’re planning to just cap this off as completed for us in the update.

I have the same 12/13 problem as well. I know I have done at least one full closing event in each of the 13 maps.

I might repeat myself, but still at 12/13…. I can’t believe they do nothing, no news, no update, no fix…
This is sad.

Finally got 13/13 today…Bloodtide Coast was the bugged one for me. Hope that helps.

Okay, after I started keeping track, I have done all 13 maps 3 times (at least) each. Many of the maps I did 4-5-6 times. I stayed through the entire map, I didn’t crash, or if I did I made sure to do at least one portal right after. I didn’t switch characters and did all 13 with the same character. I did everything “right” that I could think of…and I am still 12 / 13 after spending an over a week being at 12 / 13. If I count the fact that I was 12 / 13 prior to keeping track then I probably did every map 4x each.

If you didn’t make achievement points matter, and this one being worth 25 is a LOT of achievement points for an event…people probably wouldn’t complain so much (for instance I had another bugged event one of the priors, but it was only worth 1 pt so who cares).
REALLY frustrating having to do this event over and over (I do not enjoy farming) only to still not have it.

Same here, stuck at 12/13. I tracked after I got to 12/13. I completed all maps after I started tracking, not in an overflow, and killed a Champion Watchwork in each map, as well as closing at least 5 portals in each map. no completion to date.
The lack of response since Anet’s last response gives me pause, I doubt they have an idea what is causing it.

It is incredibly frustrating that A.net continues to ignore this thread.

Here, done all 13 maps atleast 3 times , some of them even more, while taking part in the closing-portal events and staying until the end (getting end reward), didn’t ever swap characters or disconnect within the duration of an invasion.

Yet, I have been stuck at 12/13 invasions since the early stages of the patch, and still there.

I know many people who also got affected by the “12/13 syndrome” after all their work, which made them less couraged to keep attempting at big time consuming achievements like this.

I suggest for us players to get some kind of compensation regarding the matter, perhaps making the achievement cut at 12/12 as users in this thread pointed out.

Also, with the new Super Adventure Box patch out, we’re still getting invasions at a slower pace, but is Invasion Canceller still obtainable?

Agreed. I’d also like to know if this is still obtainable, as it should be considering this ridiculous bug.

I know for a fact that I did each zone more than once getting full kill credit on the portals, and would at the very least like this fixed or moved to 12/12.

Okay, it appears you now cannot get this achievement as it was moved to the archived section. I for one am actually very angry that I put in close to a full time job into this single achievement (40 hours or so) and did not get it. In the future ANET, if you choose to make an event take a ridiculous amount of time to complete…MAKE SURE EVERYONE can complete it, not just some people.
This was mostly frustrating because seeing the time commitment needed for this I at first decided (since I have a day job) that I would not complete it, then after I quickly got 12 of 13 (quick being over 14 or so hours over 3 nights) I figured I would spend the time to finish it….only to have it become an episode of futility over and over and over again.
