Guild Wars 2

I tried to find a WvW Season Achievement topic, but the search tool doesn’t work for me (although it did a few months ago… wassup?)

So we need 15 total achievements to complete the meta achievement. There are 20 total achievement. Of the 20 total, there are 4 jumping puzzle achievement.

Why? The JPs don’t count towards WvW scores… they are no longer in the zones themselves… why are these present in the achievement category at all?

Unfortunately the inclusion of the JP achievements leaves only 16 remaining achievements to complete the 15 required. That leaves little room for completion choice.

Yeah this is a rant, but this game has become achievement driven and although I love WvW, I hate JPs. I guess I need to loiter around in EBG until a Stonemist castle siege occurs… and repeat 5 times. Yay queues!

Got that achievement in an unofficial EBG karma train

Most of the achievement requirements are stupid. Only 450 kills required for legendary defender? I’ve gotten over 5000 kills so far during leagues. Yet, we need to take mercenary camps 50 times? I’ve done it only 3 times.

I’ve basically been forced to do JPs to complete the meta because I rarely go to EBG and I rarely stay at sentries to cap them, unless the commander uses it as a rally point. I doubt I’ll complete the repair achievement or the yak achievement either, but we shall see.

Do it on reset night trololol XD. But yea seriously though I did a puzzle after my reset night work and no one was in all 4 puzzles.

I did all 4 to complete mine as there isn’t a bunch to do on those karma train weeks; but I think adding them was a way to try to get pvers into world and perhaps convert some into tried and true warriors.

Except they aren’t in the world — they’re in the JP. It’s separate and does not count towards the WvW zone population. It does not impact the WvW score, nor anything else remotely helpful in WvW.

It’s funny in a way as this is sort of a reverse-rant. Historically you hear complaints from PvE about having to go into WvW (badges, map completion, etc). I’m complaining about PvE being in my WvW!

EDIT: If you actually do WvW in the JPs, you get lots of rage from players

You do know that the EBG JP is the only one that doesn’t effect the WvW population right? The 3 in the BL’s do and are part of WvW…

They do however have to run through the zone to get to the puzzles with the exception of eb, and I would guess that some are interested enough to follow the dorito for a bit.

I’m not sure if were agreeing or not lol. Yes you have to queue and enter WvW to get to the JP. OS is the only JP that will remove you from the map population after you enter the JP. The ones on the BL’s are part of the map and you still count as part of the population while doing the JP.

Though in a future patch they are going to add a option to go strait to OS and bypass having to enter EBG, which will be good for both the JP people and the WvW players.
